Dehydration of glycerine-water mixtures by pervaporation (PV) was studied with Nafion® (NA), cellulose triacetate (CA), polyimide, carboxylated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), and polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. PES membrane yielded the highest selectivity (6580) and CPVC membrane yielded the lowest selectivity (1552) at 5% by weight of water in the feed and 30°C. The NA membrane yielded the highest permeation flux (0.2-1.45 kg/m²h) of water over the entire water concentration range. Energy of activation of permeation for water was in the range of 7-15 kJ/mol, being highest for CPVC and lowest for CA. Comparison of PV and vapor liquid equilibrium data showed that the former gave better results, particularly for concentrating glycerine above 90 wt%.
