Presented at: 10th Aachen Membrane Colloquium, Aachen, Germany, 16-17 maart 2005.
Abstract:
Microporous methylated silica membranes have been made and
tested up to a size of 1 m2 of membrane area and they can
be used for the separation of methanol from organics. Measurements have
shown that fluxes are much higher than for polymeric membranes with
good selectivities and that the membranes can be used up to at least
125oC. Economic calculations have shown that these inorganic
pervaporation membranes can very well replace existing - distillation
based - processes.
