Pervaporation Separation of Toluene/TEG Mixture with PIM-1 Membrane

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dense membranes made of polybenzodioxane (PIM-1) were developed for pervaporation of toluene/TEG mixtures. The effect of experiment time on membrane characteristics such as flux and separation factor was investigated. The neat PIM-1 membranes showed high toluene flux of 2.45 kg/m2∙h, but low separation factor of 4. The cross-linking of PIM-1 using AlCl3 leads to an increase in the separation factor up to 20, with some compromise of toluene flux down to 0.76 kg/m2∙h.
