Methanol removal from aqueous mixture with organophilic pervaporation: Experiments and modelling

- Two different pervaporation model are tested on our experimental data.
- The improved novel model results in a better fit to the experimental data.
- Our measured data are compared to similar results of other research works.
- Zeolite membranes have higher separation factors than PDMS membranes.
- The organophilic pervaporation is not able to remove methanol from aqueous mixture.
