Abstract

In the present study, pervaporation of MeOH/MTBE was studied by using blended membranes from agarose and various hydrophilic polymers. Polyoxyethylene/agarose blended membranes selectively transported MeOH from MeOH/MTBE mixtures. Permselectivity toward MeOH reached 9×10⁵. The addition of polyoxyethylene to agarose membrane led to the increase in flux compared with agarose membrane. The blended membranes from polyoxyethylene and agarose can be used as one of promising membranes for the separation of MeOH from MTBE production.
