Pervaporative Dehydration of an Industrial Ketonic Solvent Using Ceramic Silica Membranes

What is it about?

Performance of recently commercialized ceramic silica membranes in pervaporation dehydration of industrial ketonic organic solvents, as a function of water activity and temperature. The mass transfer through the membranes is evaluated as well as the resistance of the membranes in real dehydration applications.
