- Pervaporation of Ethanol-Water Mixtures Through Poly (1 Trimethylsilyl-1-Propyne) (PTMSP) Membranes
- The separation of alcohol-water mixtures by pervaporation has been preferentially carried out through hydrophobic membranes because it is more practical to permeate alcohol through the membrane. Nevertheless, most polymeric membranes are water permselective as the molecular size of water is smaller than that of ethanol. Ethanol-permselective membranes have been limited...
