Study of volatile hydrocarbon emission control by an aromatic poly(ether imide) membrane. S. Deng, A. Sourirajan and T. Matsuura. Ind. Engng. Chem. Res., December 1995, 34(12), 4494--4500.

With a view to recovering emissions from petroleum refining and storage and transport facilities, the separation of hydrocarbon vapour mixtures from nitrogen using an aromatic poly(ether imide) membrane prepared by the phase inversion technique was investigated. Petroleum vapour was effectively separated. When water was present in the feed stream hydrocarbon permeability was unaffected. 17 refs.
