Application of membrane processes to alcohol-water separation: Improving the energy efficiency of biofuel production
Citation:
VANE, L. M. Application of membrane processes to alcohol-water separation: Improving the energy efficiency of biofuel production. Presented at University of Cincinnati Seminar, Cincinnati, OH, November 07, 2008.
Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public.
Description:
Pervaporation • Membrane-based separation process • Not filtration Separation based on solution-diffusion transport through non-porous or “molecularly-porous” membrane Permeate is a vapor • Permeate contains only volatile compounds • Able to separate mixtures of miscible liquids • Driving force = Chemical activity gradient Often represented in terms of partial pressure
