Abstract

A selectively water-permeable hydrolyzed membrane characterized in that it is mainly made of a material which can generate a carboxyl group by hydrolysis and that a part of the material is hydrolyzed to have carboxyl groups, which may be further coated with a hydrophilic polymer. The above membrane is useful as a selectively water-permeable membrane and is applicable not only to pervaporation and vapor permeation, but also to reverse osmosis, dehumidification of air and so on.
