Process for separation of a mixed gas
First Claim
1. A process for the separation of a mixed gas comprising the step of passing said mixed gas through a solvent to separate said mixed gas by utilizing the differences in solubility of the constituent gases thereof in said solvent, wherein the improvement comprises employing a high polymeric substance selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate, polymethacrylonitrile, polyglycol terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polymethyl methacrylate, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyvinyl acetate, butadiene-vinylpyridine copolymer, polystyrene, polybutadiene, styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polyethylene, and natural rubber in liquid form or in solution as said solvent.

Abstract
Separation of a mixed gas is carried out at ordinary temperatures by employing a silicone oil, or a certain high polymeric substance in liquid form or in solution as the solvent for absorbing the gas. Among others, methylphenyl silicone oil is preferably employed as the solvent in separating radioactive gases.

5. A process for the separation of a mixed gas which comprises at least two gases selected from the group consisting of H2, N2, O2, He, Ar, Kr, Xe, CO2, NO, N2 O, NO2, SO2, H2 S, CS2, CH4, C2 H2, C2 H6, C2 H3 Cl, and CH2 CHCN, comprising the step of passing said gas through a solvent to separate said mixed gas by utilizing the differences in solubility of the constituent gases thereof in said solvent, wherein the improvement comprises employing methylphenyl silicone oil as said solvent in order to separate said mixed gas.
-
6. A process for the separation of a mixed gas containing at least one radioactive gas comprising the step of passing said mixed gas through a solvent to separate said mixed gas by utilizing the differences in solubility of the constituted gases thereof in said solvent, wherein the improvement comprises employing methylphenyl silicone oil as said solvent in order to selectively absorb and separate at least one radioactive gas or gases from said mixed gas.
