Abstract:
The stability of the membrane for pervaporation separation of aromatic/aliphatic mixtures is critical for industrial applications. To improve the stability of the membrane, a "pore-filling" membrane was prepared by dynamic pressure-driven assembly of a poly(vinyl alcohol)-graphene oxide (OVA-GO) nanohybricl layer onto an asymmetric polyaci:ylonitrile ultrafiltration membrane. The results of the swelling experiment suggest that the pore-filling structure could effectively reduce swelling of the nanohybricl membrane. Assembly of the nanohybricl membrane by molecular-level dispersion of GO in OVA led to enhanced affinity of the membrane to aromatic compounds and thus improved performance in the pervaporation of toluene/ii-heptane mixtures. Moreover, the dynamic assembly process could easily be used to adjust the separation performance by controlling the pressure, filtration time, polymer, and GO concentration. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
