Specialty polymeric membranes

SummaryPervaporation of acetic acid/water mixture was investigated through uncrosslinked and crosslinked polybutadiene membranes. Crosslinked polybutadiene membrane permeated acetic acid in preference to water indicating that polybutadiene must be a candidate for a permselective membrane material for acetic acid separation from its aqueous solution.

Abstract Uncrosslinked and crosslinked polybutadiene membranes were used to investigate the pervaporation of lower alcohol/water mixtures (alcohol: methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and t-butanol). Crosslinked polybutadiene membrane permeated lower alcohols in preference to water indicating that polybutadiene must be a candidate for permselective membranes for alcohol/water mixtures.

Specialty polymeric membranes. 1. Modified polybutadiene membranes for alcohol separation

Pervaporation of lower alcohol/water mixture (alcohol: methanol, ethanol, or 1-propanol) through uncrosslinked and crosslinked polybutadiene membranes was investigated. Crosslinked polybutadiene membranes permeated lower alcohols in preference to water indicating that polybutadiene is a candidate for permselective membranes for the separation of alcohol/water mixtures.
