Abstract

This invention relates to the field of processes for membrane separation and applies in particular to the purification of C2 or C3 olefins. This process makes it possible more particularly to separate propylene from a mixture that contains other C3 hydrocarbons such as propane. The membranes that are used in the process according to this invention are vitreous polymer-based membranes whose pattern contains a bis-phenyl-9,9-fluorene group.
