UP TO NEW HORIZONS IN CERAMIC MEMBRANE PERVAPORATION PRESENTATION AT THE ICOM

Up to new horizons in ceramic membrane pervaporation

Pervaporation is a membrane-based separation technique in which the feed stream is fed as a liquid and the permeate is evaporated through the membrane. Polymeric and ceramic membranes can be employed in this technique. In general polymeric pervaporation membranes are most suited for dehydration of organic solvents at low temperatures, whereas ceramic pervaporation membranes are utilized to dehydrate organic solvents at higher temperatures.

More recently, pervaporation has earned more interest from the pharmaceutical and chemical markets, since pervaporation for dehydration is an energy-saving technique compared to conventional separation methods, like .

Suzhou, July 2014. With Pervatechs’ long-term experience in manufacturing ceramic pervaporation membranes it is now possible to break the of water-solvent mixtures, like water-. The focus of Pervatech is We are happy to announce that Pervatech will be present at the ICOM 2014 Suzhou, to explore new possibilities in the field of pervaporation. With this drive and ongoing membrane the 10th International Congress on Membrane and Membrane Processes. development it has become feasible to dehydrate acetonitrile, acetyl acetate, THF, many other solvent systems and enhances esterification reactions by in situ dehydration. On Wednesday the 23rd of July 8:30uur, Frans Velterop, managing director of Pervatech BV, will give a presentation: Up to new horizons in ceramic membrane pervaporation. The ceramic membranes are produced via a sol-gel technique, a method most suited to tailor the functionality of the top-layer towards the intended application. Therefore, it is possible to tailor the Up to new horizons in ceramic membrane pervaporation. membranes for de-methanolisation and de-ethanolisation of certain mixtures. On the other hand it is also Pervaporation is a membrane-based separation technique in which the feed stream is fed as a possible to dehydrate ethanol, which enables us to distinct between letting ethanol through and retaining liquid and the permeate is evaporated through the membrane. it.
