VTOS Cross-Linked PDMS Membranes for Recovery of Ethanol from Aqueous Solution by Pervaporation

Figure 5

Effect of cross-linking temperature on (a) ethanol in permeate and (b) the normalized permeation flux for an aqueous solution of 6 wt% ethanol through PDMS-VTOS membrane during PV (operating temperature: 40°C, the weight ratio of H-PDMS : VTOS : DBTDL is 1 : 0.2 : 0.02).
