Pervaporation: Example of module operation
Pv Ex 3: Experimental data for the pervaporation of liquid mixtures of ethanol and water at a feed temperature of 60C and
a permeate pressure of 15.2mmHg, using a commercial polyvinylalcohol membrane were measured. A total permeation
flux of 1.6kgm2-h for a 17.0wt% ethanol in water feed, giving a permeate of 12wt% ethanol. Calculate the permeances of
ethyl alcohol and water for these conditions. Also, calculate the selectivity for water.
Data: vapor pressures 60C p(h2o) p(Ethanol)352 mmhg as pure compnenets
