摘要:
A charge composition containing (i) an alcohol having less than three carbon atoms and (ii) an oxygenate selected from organic ethers, aldehydes, ketones, and esters is passed into contact with a first side of a non-porous membrane separating layer comprising a blend of a polyvinyl alcohol and a polyacrylic acid on a polyacrylonitrile support layer; with a pressure drop across the non-porous separating layer from the first (high pressure) side to a second (low pressure) side. At least a portion of alcohol from the charge composition and a lesser portion of oxygenate pass by pervaporation through the non-porous separating layer as a lean mixture containing more alcohol and less oxygenate than are present in said charge composition, leaving a rich liquid containing less alcohol and more oxygenate than are present in said charge composition; the lean mixture, in vapor phase at a pressure its vapor pressure being recovered as permeate from the low pressure side of the non-porous separating layer.
摘要:
Immiscible hydrocarbon liquid can be separated from an aqueous charge by initially allowing the charge to settle, and then skimming off a lighter layer of hydrocarbon from a heavier aqueous layer, followed by nanofiltration of the aqueous layer, employing a membrane that passes an aqueous filtrate having a reduced content of hydrocarbon, and leaves an aqueous retentate containing hydrocarbon liquid.

摘要:
Aqueous charges containing organic oxygenates can be dehydrated by means of a non-porous layer of cast polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with an aliphatic aldehyde having at least 3 carbon atoms, including those in the aldehyde group. A pressure drop is maintained across the layer with the aqueous charge on the high pressure side. Water containing a reduced proportion of the oxygenate is recovered on the low pressure side. A preferred oxygenate is isopropyl alcohol. Other alcohols, as well acids, esters, ethers, ketones and aldehydes (but excluding glycols) are examples of other oxygenates.

摘要:
An aqueous composition containing a ketone can be concentrated by a pervaporation process across a non-porous separating layer of cast polyvinyl alcohol which has been cross-linked with an aliphatic polyaldehyde containing at least three preferably 3 to 8 carbon atoms including those in said aldehyde groups.
