Modified poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan blended membranes for isopropanol dehydration via pervaporation: Synthesis optimization and modeling by response surface methodology

Box–Behnken (BB) design of response surface methodology (RSM) was effectively applied to optimize fabrication conditions of modified poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CS) blended pervaporation (PV) membranes. The PVA/CS membranes were crosslinked either by chemical reaction with glutaraldehyde (GA) or by heat‐treating at different temperatures. The main objectives were to determine the optimal levels of fabricating parameters and also to investigate interactions among the variables. CS content in the blended membranes, concentration of crosslinking agent and heat‐treating temperature were the fabrication parameters, the main effects and interaction effects of which on membrane structure and PV performance toward isopropanol (IPA)/water dehydration were investigated, and for which regression models were established. The modified PVA/CS blended membranes were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as X‐ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the CS content is the most significant factor influencing flux and separation factor among the three studied variables and the experimental results are in excellent accordance with predicted values from the developed RSM regression models. The RSM results indicated that under preparation conditions of 80 wt % CS in the blended membrane, 0.58 wt % GA concentration, and 77 °C heat‐treating temperature, the maximum separation factor of 5222.8 and the normalized flux of 9.407 kg µm/m²h can be acquired with feed content of 85 wt % IPA at 25 °C, showing that the prepared membrane is highly efficient for PV dehydration of IPA. The models were satisfactorily validated against experimental data. Furthermore, the optimum membrane presents excellent separation performance at different feed compositions and temperatures. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Dehydration of tetrahydrofuran by pervaporation using crosslinked PVA/PEI blend membranes

Dense blend membranes were prepared by blending hydrophilic polymers poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), which were then crosslinked by glutaraldehyde (GA) in a mixture of solvents under the catalysis of hydrochloric acid (HCl) for the dehydration of tetrahydrofuran (THF) by pervaporation. The effect of experimental parameters such as feed water concentration, permeate pressure, and membrane thicknesses on permeate parameters, i.e., flux and selectivity were determined with feed water concentration less than 40 wt %. The membranes were found to have good potential for breaking the azeotrope of 94 wt % THF with a flux of 1.072 and 0.376 kg/m² h for plane PVA/PEI and crosslinked PVA/PEI blend membrane, which exhibited high selectivity of 156 and 579 respectively. Selectivity was found to improve with decreasing feed water concentration and increasing membrane thickness, whereas flux decreased correspondingly. High permeate pressure causes a reduction in both flux and selectivity. These effects were clearly elucidated with the aid of the known relationship among plasticization effect, degree of swelling, permeate pressure, and feed water concentration. These blend membranes were also subjected to sorption studies to evaluate the extent of interaction and degree of swelling in pure as well as binary feed mixtures. Further ion exchange capacity studies were carried out for all the crosslinked and uncrosslinked membranes to determine the total number of interacting groups present in the membranes. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multiresponse optimization based on the desirability function for a pervaporation process for producing anhydrous ethanol

A pervaporation process for producing anhydrous ethanol from industrial ethyl alcohol (95% v/v) was performed with a commercial PVA/PAN membrane. A central composite rotatable experimental design together with response surface methodology was implemented for studying and modeling the influence of operating conditions in terms of the temperature and the flow rate of the feed on the pervaporation performance, namely, the permeate flux and the separation factor. To obtain a trade-off between the permeate flux and the separation factor, a method for simultaneous optimization of multiple responses based on an overall desirability function was used. The optimization resulted in a feed temperature of 66 °C and a feed flow rate of 42 L/h. These operating conditions are expected to respond with a permeate flux of 0.107 kg/m² h and a separation factor of 40, which correspond to a satisfactory overall desirability.     

Ultrasound Assisted Pervaporation Separation of Pyridine/Water Mixtures Using Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Polyacrylonitrile Blend Membranes

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyacrylonitrile blend membranes were prepared to separate pyridine/water mixtures by pervaporation. The membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of membrane composition, feed pyridine concentration, operating temperature, downstream pressure and ultrasound irradiation on the separation process were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that with increasing PVA mass ratio and operating temperature the permeate flux increased but the separation factor decreased, while with increasing feed concentration and downstream pressure the separation factor increased and the permeate flux decreased. It was observed that Ultrasound irradiation enhanced the permeate flux.     

Pervaporation properties of polyvinyl alcohol/ceramic composite membrane for separation of ethyl acetate/ethanol/water ternary mixtures

In further purification of ethyl acetate (EAC) process, azeotropic distillation or extractive distillation is usually applied. High energy consumption limits the economic profit of the process. In this study, pervaporation separation of EAC/ethanol (EA)/water ternary mixtures using the ceramic-supported polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite membrane was investigated to substitute the azeotropic distillation or extractive distillation. Swelling experiments were performed to evaluate the sorption characteristic of the membrane. Flory-Huggins theory was applied to study the interaction between the membrane and the penetrant. The UNIFAC model was adopted to investigate the variation of the penetrant activity in the membrane. The effects of operation temperature, feed water content and feed flow rate on the PV performance of the membrane were systematically investigated. The composite membrane exhibited high PV performance with the total flux of 2.1 kg·m⁻²·h⁻¹ and 94.9 wt% permeate concentration of water (operation condition: feed composition 82.6 wt% EAC, 8.4 wt% EA, 9 wt% water, feed temperature 60 °C, feed flow rate 252 mL· min⁻¹). The PV performance of the membrane varied slightly over a continuous PV experiment period of 110 h. Our results demonstrated that the PVA/ceramic membrane was a potential candidate for the purification of EAC/EA/water ternary mixtures.     

Separation of Acetic Acid/Water Mixtures by Pervaporation through Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)–Sodium Alginate Blend Membranes

Abstract

Dense pervaporation (PV) membranes were prepared by blending hydrophilic polymers, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and sodium alginate (SA), which were then crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) for the separation of acetic acid/water mixtures. These membranes (PVA‐SA) were characterized for morphology, intermolecular interactions, thermal stability, and physico‐mechanical properties using XRD, FTIR, TGA and tensile testing respectively. The effect of experimental parameters such as feed composition and permeate pressure on separation performance of the crosslinked membranes was determined. Sorption studies and porosity measurement were carried out to evaluate the extent of interaction and degree of swelling of the polyion membranes, in acetic acid and water as well as in mixtures of acetic acid and water. Further the results were compared with the commercial membrane (Sulzer pervap 2205). The membrane appears to have a good potential for dehydrating 90 wt% acetic acid with a reasonably high selectivity of 21.5 and a substantial water flux of 0.24 kg/m²/h/10 µm. Separation factor was found to improve with decreasing feed water concentration whereas the corresponding flux decreased. Higher permeate pressures caused a reduction in both flux and selectivity.     

Pervaporation of Water/Ethanol Mixtures by an Aromatic Polyetherimide Membrane

Abstract

The pervaporation of water/ethanol mixtures through an aromatic polyetherimide membrane was attempted. The membrane was laboratory prepared using the solution casting technique. The sorption characteristics in relation to pervaporation were also studied. It was found that the preferential sorption was altered when the liquid composition was changed, whereas the water component permeated through the membrane preferentially over the whole range of feed mixture compositions. The experimental results were analyzed in terms of sorption ratio and permeation ratio to characterize nonideality of sorption and pervaporation. The effects of some operating parameters, including temperature, feed concentration, and permeate pressure, on the pervaporation performance were also investigated.     

Pervaporation separation of water–isopropyl alcohol mixture by PVA/LiBr membrane

Hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol membranes, modified by lithium bromide, were prepared with glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking reagent. The membranes were investigated for the pervaporation dehydration of a water–isopropyl systems. The effect of the feed temperature on permeation flux and membrane selectivity was studied. The characterization of modified membranes was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X‐ray diffraction. It was observed that the crystallinity of membranes increased as lithium bromide was added to the polymer. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze water content and isopropyl alcohol in the feed and permeate samples The pervaporation tests also confirmed an enhancement in water permeability through adding LiBr to the polymer, because of the high hydrophilic properties of this salt. According to pervaporation experiments conducted at 50°C, the water flux increased from 0.1049 kg/ m² hr to 0.1114 kg/ m² hr as 0.5 wt% of LiBr was added to the polymer matrix. Furthermore, an addition of 1 wt% of LiBr compared to homogeneous PVA membrane increased selectivity from 76 to 779. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 59:E101–E111, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers
