Pervaporation is a new type of membrane separation technology. In the separation process, component partial pressure difference is the driving force, and the selective separation of components is achieved by the difference of adsorption diffusion rate and molecular size of each component in pervaporation membrane material. Organic solvent gas phase (or liquid phase) feed is introduced on the side of pervaporation membrane, while the other side uses vacuum suction to remove the water in the solvent in time, thereby obtaining anhydrous organic solvent.

Principle of pervaporation separation
 


In the process of pervaporation membrane dehydration, the water mixture is preheated and then enters the feed side of the membrane module, while the permeation side adopts a vacuum way to maintain a low pressure environment. At the feeding side, the water molecules first adsorb on the surface of the membrane. The membrane is permeated by the difference of water vapor pressure difference on both sides of the membrane, and vaporization is vaporized on the membrane osmotic side.  After the separation operation, the waterless products are obtained at the exit side of the membrane feed side, and the osmosis side components are treated by the waste water after condensation.



The experimental device of pervaporation membrane is a small pervaporation membrane system in laboratory, which is used to test the osmotic flux of pervaporation membrane at a certain temperature and pressure difference, it mainly includes material and liquid system, pervaporation membrane and osmotic fluid collection system. The feed liquid enters the pervaporation membrane, and the latter maintains low partial pressure. After driving on the two sides of the membrane, the components are diffused through the membrane to the back side, and vaporized into vapor and left the membrane. Among them, the components with fast diffusion are mostly passing through the membrane into the back side of the membrane, and the slower diffusion component has less permeable membrane into the rear side of the membrane, so that we can achieve the purpose of separating the different components in the liquid.



Technical characteristics:

Organic solvent dehydration is made by pervaporation membrane separation technology, in this way, traditional separation methods such as distillation, extraction and adsorption can be replaced. It can achieve high quality products with low energy consumption and achieve separation requirements which are difficult or unable to achieve by conventional methods. It has a more obvious advantage in removing organic matter or mixed organic matter from small or micro amounts of water.
 
A.      High efficiency and energy saving: yield 99% energy saving 50%

The core of the pervaporation technology is to use the selective permeability of the pervaporation membrane to make a small amount of water through the separation membrane in the organic solvent, while most of the materials are kept on the other side of the membrane. The separation process shows high energy saving effect, especially suitable for separation of azeotrope and near boiling mixture. Compared with traditional rectification and adsorption technology, the separation process can save more than 50% energy, and the yield is >99%.
 
B.       Environmentally friendly: no third components are introduced or produced, and the quality of the product is high.

Pervaporation technology is applied to remove water from organic solvents. It does not need to introduce third components to avoid pollution to environment or products. At the same time, a small amount of permeation liquid can be recycled, processed and recycled, which is also good for environmental protection.
 
C.       Space saving: compact structure, small area covering.
The pervaporation equipment has compact structure, small area covering and high utilization rate of resources. Compared with the distillation separation equipment, it can save more than 4/5 of space.
 
D.      Easy and safe: easy to operate, high safety
The process of pervaporation membrane separation is simple, the operating conditions is mild, the degree of automation is high, therefore, the operation process has high safety and is more suitable for the dehydration of flammable and explosive solvent system.
