摘要
The viability of polyvinyl acetate (PVA) membranes blended with acrylic ester-co-acrylic acid copolymers (AE-co-AA), for ethanol dehydration was examined. The effects of the operating temperature on the permeate flux and separation factor of the membranes were investigated. The pervaporation separation characteristics of PVA/(AE-co-AA) membranes were related to the blend ratio, the dose of crosslinking agents and the operating temperature.
1 INTRODUCTIONIn 1984,GFT Company,the leader in using PVApervaporation membrane for dehydration of alcohol-water mixtures,sets up the first industrial pervapora-tion plant.Now,about 100 industrial pervaporationplants are in operation in the world.For almostall these plants,PVA membranes are equipped andused to dehydrate alcohol.It has been proved
