Novel membranes, useful for the separation of aromatics from mixtures thereof with non-aromatics, in, for example, a naphtha feed stream, are characterized by possessing a urea index of at least about 20% but less than 100%, an aromatic carbon content of at least about 15 mole percent, a functional group density of at least about 10 per 1000 grams of polymer and a C = O/NH ratio of less than about 8.0. These highly aromatic polyurea/urethane membranes are symmetric, dense film membranes made from the corresponding polyurea/urethane copolymers by standard membrane casting techniques. The polyurea/urethane copolymers are preferably produced by reacting dihydroxy or polyhydroxy compounds, such as polyethers or polyesters having molecular weights in the range of about 500 to 5000 with aliphatic, alkylaromatic or aromatic diisocyanates or polyisocyanates and low molecular weight chain extenders, such as diamines, polyamines or amino alcohols.
The membranes are useful for separating aromatics from non-aromatics in e.g., petroleum refining and chemical applications.
新型膜可用于从例如石脑油进料流中的芳烃与非芳烃混合物中分离芳烃,其特点是脲指数至少约为 20%,但小于 100%,芳香碳含量至少约为 15 摩尔%,官能团密度至少约为每 1000 克聚合物 10 个,C = O/NH 比率小于约 8.0。这些高芳香族聚脲/聚氨酯膜是由相应的聚脲/聚氨酯共聚物通过标准膜铸造技术制成的对称致密膜。聚脲/聚氨酯共聚物最好是通过二羟基或多羟基化合物(如分子量在 500 至 5000 之间的聚醚或聚酯)与脂肪族、烷芳香族或芳香族二异氰酸酯或多异氰酸酯以及低分子量扩链剂(如二胺、多胺或氨基醇)反应制得。
这些膜可用于分离芳烃和非芳烃,如石油精炼和化工应用。
