Article: Research in the area of desalination reported from University of Oulu.(Report)

"The separation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from chemical waste streams containing salts is an interesting pervaporation (PV) application for recovery purposes. In this study, the separation of n-butanol (n-BuOH) by PV was investigated, and the influence of temperature, membrane choice, feed concentration, and the presence of sodium chloride (NaCl) was evaluated," scientists in Oulu, Finland report.

"Separation factor and partial fluxes were calculated for two hydrophobic commercial membranes (CMX-GF-010-D, CELFA AG, Switzerland and PERTHESE (R) 500-1, Perouse Plastic, France), when permeating pure water, n-BuOH/water, and n-BuOH/NaCl/water mixtures. ...
