HOW IT IS DONE??
• Separation of liquid mixtures by partial vaporization through a membrane
(nonporous) is the separation principle in pervaporation.
• The driving force for pervaporation process is the difference in chemical
potential, corresponding to the concentration gradient between phases on
the opposite sides of the interfacial barrier.
• The separation feature is based on affinity with membrane materials and
hence the molecule having higher affinity is adsorbed and diffuses
through the membrane while the membrane retains molecules having low
affinity.
PROCESS DIAGRAM
DESIGN
• A composite membrane is used that is selective for species A, but with some
finite permeability for species B. The dense, thin-film side of the membrane is
in contact with the liquid side. The retentate is enriched in species B.
Generally, a sweep fluid is not used on the other side of the membrane, but a
pressure P2, which may be a vacuum, is held at or below the dew point of the
permeate, making it vapour. Vaporization may occur near the downstream
face such that the membrane operates with two zones, a liquid-phase zone
and a vapour-phase zone, as shown in Figure. Alternatively, the vapour phase
may exist only on the permeate side of the membrane. The vapour permeate
is enriched in species A.
• Commercial membrane modules for PV are almost exclusively of the plate-
and-frame type because of the ease of using gasketing materials that are
resistant to organic solvents and the ease of providing heat exchange for
vaporization and high-temperature operation.
• Hollow-fiber modules are used for removal of VOCs from wastewater. Because
feeds are generally clean and operation is at low pressure, membrane fouling
and damage is minimal, resulting in a useful membrane life of 2–4 years
DESIGN
MEMBRANES USED
• Hydrophilic membranes are used for dehydration of alcohols containing
small amounts of water and hydrophobic membranes are used for
removal/recovery of trace amounts of organics from aqueous solutions.
• Presently there have been a number of investigators concerning R&D of
the hydrophilic membrane, which can be cataloged into organic, inorganic,
and organic-inorganic hybrid membranes. Organic-inorganic hybrid
membranes showed improved performance of pervaporative dehydration
of solution, with better flux and retention.
• Commercially available hydrophilic membranes are made of polymeric
membrane materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyimides,
polymaleimides, Nafion, and polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
• One of the most applied polymeric materials for organic separation is
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS exhibits high selectivity and
permeability towards organic substances because of the flexible structure.
MATHEMATICAL FORMULAE
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Solvent Dehydration: dehydrating the ethanol/water and
isopropanol/water azeotropes.
• Continuous ethanol removal from yeast fermenters.
• Continuous water removal from condensation reactions such
as esterification to enhance conversion and rate of the reaction.
• Removing organic solvents from industrial waste waters.
• Combination of distillation and pervaporation/vapour permeation.
• Concentration of hydrophobic flavour compounds in aqueous solutions
(using hydrophobic membranes).
• Reduction of the aromatics content in refinery streams.
• Breaking of azeotropes.
• Purification of extraction media.
