The present invention discloses a new type of polyimide membranes including hollow fiber and flat sheet membranes with high permeances for air separations and a method of making these membranes. The new polyimide hollow fiber membranes have O2 permeance higher than 300 GPU and O2/N2 selectivity higher than 3 at 60° C. under 308 kPa for O2/N2 separation. The new polyimide hollow fiber membranes also have CO2 permeance higher than 1000 GPU and single-gas selectivity for CO2/CH4 higher than 20 at 50° C. under 791 kPa for CO2/CH4 separation.

The process of claim 5 wherein said weight ratio is from about 95:5 to about 75:25. 7. A method of separating at least one gas from a mixture of gases comprising: a) contacting an asymmetric hollow fiber polyimide membrane which is permeable to said at least one gas with said mixture of gases, wherein said asymmetric polyimide membrane is formed from a polyimide comprising a plurality of first repeating units of formula (I) wherein X is selected from the group consisting of and mixtures thereof;(b) contacting the mixture of gases on one side of said asymmetric polyimide membrane to cause said at least one gas to permeate the membrane; and(c) removing from the opposite side of said asymmetric polyimide membrane a permeate gas composition comprising a portion of said at least one gas which permeated said asymmetric polyimide membrane. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein said mixture of gases is selected from the group consisting of CO2/CH4, CO2N2, H2/CH4, H2S/CH4, olefin/paraffin, and iso paraffins/normal paraffins. 9. The method of claim 7 wherein said mixture of gas comprises at least one volatile organic compound in an atmospheric gas. 10. The method of claim 7 wherein said mixture of gas comprises a mixture of hydrogen, nitrogen, methane and argon in an ammonia purge stream. 11. The method of claim 7 wherein said mixture of gas comprises hydrogen from a hydrocarbon vapor stream. 12. The method of claim 7 wherein said mixture of gas comprises a mixture of carbon monoxide, helium and methane. 13. The method of claim 7 wherein said, mixture of gas comprises natural gas comprising methane and at least one gas component selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, and helium. 14.
