Pervaporation is to be used to separate ethyl acetate (EA) from water. The feed rate is 100,000 gal/day of water containing 2.0 wt% EA at 30C and 20 psia. The membrane is dense polydimethylsiloxane with a 1-mm-thick skin in a spiralwound module that approximates crossflow. The permeate pressure is 3 cmHg. The total measured membrane flux at these conditions is 1.0 L/m2-h with a separation factor given by (14-59) of 100 for EA with respect to water. A retentate of 0.2 wt% EA is desired for a permeate of 45.7 wt% EA. Determine the required membrane area in m2 and the feed temperature drop. Reference: Blume, I., J.G. Wijans, and R.W. Baker, J.
