Abstract

The present invention concerns a polyester gas separation membrane which is obtained by the interfacial polymerization of benzenetricarbonyl trihalide or benzene tetracarbonyl tetrahalide in a water-insoluble organic solvent in one phase and a variety of polyfunctional phenols present as the di- or tri-salt in a mixture of water and phase transfer agent and a water-soluble organic solvent in the second phase. The present invention also includes the polyester membrane itself, its methods of preparation and the use of the membranes to separate gas mixtures, such as carbon dioxide and methane, helium and methane and the like.
