Studies on Development and Characterization of Polymer Composite Membranes for Purification of Industrial Solvents by Pervacoration

Abstract

An approach to separate a substance based on the solubility of its constituent parts is known as newlinesolvent extraction, sometimes referred to as liquid-liquid extraction or partitioning. Solvent newlinedehydration not only benefits industries economically but also prevents newlineenvironmental pollution issues. Alcohol and water can form an azeotropic combination, newlinemaking it difficult to separate the two by conventional distillation without using an entrainer newlinelike benzene, which is known to cause cancer. The membrane-centered pervaporation newlineseparation, on the other hand, suggests good separation efficiency together with significant newlineenergy savings. Pervaporation is the name for the membrane-based separation method. Due to newlinetheir low cost and capacity to separate isomeric and azeotropic mixtures, pervaporation newlinemembranes have been extensively researched for the separation of aqueous-organic newlinecombinations. Pervaporation is now regarded as a fundamental unit operation with enormous newlinepotential for resolving separation issues pertaining to numerous industrial processes. newline
