ABSTRACT:
An anisotropic elastomeric membrane preferably made from polyurea/urethane has been prepared. These anisotropic membranes are made from the corresponding polymeric material by preparing the polymeric material in a good solvent containing less than 5 vol % non-solvent, producing a film of the polymer solution on a support with a maximum pore size less than 20 microns, subjecting the film to conditions such that the solvent vapor pressure-time factor is 1000 mm Hg-min. or less, preferably 200 mm Hg-min or less, most preferably approaching 0 mm Hg-min and quenching the membrane film in a non-solvent yielding a three-layered anisotropic membrane. The preferred anisotropic membranes made from the polyurea/urethane copolymer, useful for the separation of aromatics from mixtures thereof with non-aromatics and saturates, in, for example, a naphtha feed stream, are characterized by possessing a urea index of at least about 20% but less than 100%, an aromatic carbon content of at least about 15 mole percent, a functional group density of at least about 10 per 1000 grams of polymer and a C.dbd.O/NH ratio of less than about 8.0.
