Abstract:     A method for the substantial separation of at least one gas component from a gas mixture to generate a residue gas substantially depleted of said gas components. A semipermeable membrane is provided which has a feed gas side and a sweep gas side. The feed gas side is contacted with a feed gas mixture containing at least one gas to be retained and at least one gas to be separated therefrom. The sweep side is simultaneously contacted with a sweep gas having a pressure lower than that of the feed gas. The partial pressure of certain gas components present on both sides of the membrane are balanced to cause the remaining gas components to diffuse in either direction across the membrane depending upon their differential partial pressures.

+ PROCESS FOR MENMRANE SEPARATION OF W MIXrMS
+ BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
+ FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    This invention relates to the field of separation of gas mixtures and particularly to the separation of a single component from a mixture of gases. A semipermeable membrane and a purge gas are used.
+ SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention is based on the concept that, using a semipermeable membrane, operating under typical conditions of feed gas injection into the high pressure side of the membrane, through the use of a purge gas, the partial pressure differential across the membrane of gas components not present in the purge gas will increase, resulting in higher relative mass transfer of those gas components through the membrane. In addition, the use of the purge gas decreases the partial pressure differential across the membrane of those gas components present in the purge gas resulting in a lower relative mass transfer through the membrane. This process can be used to more selectively transfer specific gas components through the membrane.
+ DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    Referring now to Figure 1 of the drawings there is shown schematically a semipermeable membrane 12 having a feed side 13 and a sweep side 15 disposed in a chamber 14. The membrane 12 bisects the chamber 12 dividing it into two compartments, a feed gas compartment 16 and a sweep gas compartment 18.
