Abstract

This invention relates to a novel composition useful for preparing a semi-permeable cellulose ester gas separation membrane, which composition includes a mixture of a cellulose ester, a solvent selected from the group consisting essentially of glycerol acetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, and mixtures thereof, and optionally the non-solvent glycerol. This invention also relates to a process of fabricating a cellulose ester gas separation membrane from said composition.
