Abstract
A semipermeable hollow fiber membrane (10) consists of a first layer (12) for selectively permeating only water and water soluble substances therethrough and excluding the permeation of hydrocarbon fluids and a second layer (14) covalently bonded to the first layer (12), the second layer (14) being selective permeable only to water soluble substances and excluding water permeation therethrough. The membrane can be used for selectively separating a water soluble substance from water and transferring the water soluble substance to a hydrocarbon fluid.
