Pervaporation From membrane materials to membrane processes and their industrial applications

The pervaporation separation process is still in an advanced phase, as indicated by the large annual volume of international scientific articles specifically on the subject of pervaporation. The following is a brief summary of the main lines of current research.

• Materials and modules

  As the membrane material is at the heart of the process, the majority of work has focused on improving the performance of membranes and the devices in which they are installed. Recent bibliography includes a large number of works on mixed matrix membranes, which combine a polymer material with a particulate filler (
