Review of Pervaporation and Vapor Permeation Process Factors Affecting the Removal of Water from Industrial Solvents.

ABSTRACT: A recent review article (J Chem Technol Biotechnol 94: 343-365 (2019)) identified several commercially-available permselective materials for drying organic solvents with pervaporation (PV) and vapor permeation (V·P) separation processes. The membrane materials included polymeric and inorganic substances exhibiting a range in the performance characteristics: water permeance, water/solvent selectivity, and maximum use temperature. This paper provides an overview of the factors affecting the design of PV/V·P processes utilizing these membranes to remove water from common organic solvents. Properties of the specific membrane and of the solvent substantially affect the PV/V·P separation. Equally important is the impact of operating parameters on the overall separation. To study th
