This is a feasibility study for using hollow fibers for cyclic                  gas separation.  Hollow fibers of polypropylene with high surface               area and low pressure drop are used to replace packed beds.  Two                specific studies are undertaken in this program.  The first                     involves using hollow fibers filled with fluorocarbons to absorb                oxygen from air.  During the high-pressure half cycle, enriched                 nitrogen will be produced.  During the low-pressure half cycle,                 enriched oxygen will be produced.  In the second study, 5A                      zeolite hollow fibers will be fabricated.  These hollow fibers                  will be used to replace packed beds in the separation of alkane                 isomers.  Branched isomers are produced during the high pressure                half cycle while n-alkanes are produced at low pressure.  Success               of these ideas would lead to new and more efficient gas                         separation processes.
