Abstract
A homogeneous membrane or an asymmetric membrane which is made of polyimide resin containing fluorine as a main component and has high separation and permeation properties, is used in a method of separating unsaturated hydrocarbon from a mixture of unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon. The method includes the steps of contacting the mixture onto the membrane made of the polyimide resin having a repeating unit shown in the following formula as a main component, selectively permeating unsaturated hydrocarbon through the membrane, and separating unsaturated hydrocarbon from the mixture. The membrane satisfies the condition of a solubility coefficient ratio between unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon.gtoreq.1.2 at 25.degree. C. and more than 50 Torr when the absorption of hydrocarbon to the polyimide resin is in equilibrium. ##STR1##
