Abstract

The present invention is directed to a process for separating aromatic/non-aromatic mixtures a membrane comprised of a multi-block polymeric material comprising an ester prepolymer made by combining an (A) epoxy with a (B) dianhydride or its corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1, chain extended with a second, different compatible prepolymer selected from the group of prepolymers comprising (a) and (A) diisocyanate combined with a monomer selected from (B) epoxy, polyester, dianhydride or it corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester, and diamine in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1, (b) and (A) dianhydride or its corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester combined with a monomer selected from (B) diisocyanate, polyester, and diamine in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1; and (c) and (A) diamine combined with a monomer selected from (B) epoxy, diisocyanate, and dianhydride or its corresponding tetraacid or diacid-diester in an A/B mole ratio ranging from about 2.0 to 1.05, preferably about 2.0 to 1.1, and mixtures t…
