Abstract
A method for producing an improved membrane for separating gases in mixtures including forming an integral, asymmetric polyether imide membrane, treating the membrane with at least one organic fluid which is a solvent or swelling agent for polyether imide, and removing the organic fluid from the membrane by evaporation to obtain a tubular, flat or hollow fiber membrane exhibiting significantly higher selectivity than an untreated membrane.
