Abstract
Bio-butanol recovery by pervaporation was performed with dense and composite polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. The pervaporative behavior of the membranes was investigated as a function of operation temperature $(20{\sim}40^{\circ}C)$ and membrane thickness $(100{\sim}1{\mu}m)$ using a series of aqueous BtOH model solutions $(1{\sim}5wt%)$. With the increment of the BtOH concentration in feed, the Butanol concentration in permeate, pervaporation selectivity of Butanol over water and Butanol permeation flux increased. As the operating temperature of feed solutions increased, the BtOH concentration in permeate, pervaporation selectivity and permeation flux increased markedly. As the thickness of the PDMS membrane decreased, permeation flux increased but pervaporation selectivity decreased. These results were explained in terms of high solubility and low diffusion resistance of BtOH over water toward hydrophobic and rubbery PDMS membranes.
