This work is concerned with the separation of propyl propionate/water mixtures by pervaporation using PEBA membranes, which is relevant to aroma compound recovery from dilute aqueous solutions. The solubility and diffusivity pertinent to the permselectivity were investigated. The effects of feed concentration and the operating temperature on the separation performance were studied. Under the experimental conditions tested, the permeate concentration was much higher than the solubility limit, and upon phase separation substantially pure propyl propionate could be achieved. The diffusivity of propyl propionate through the membrane from its dilute aqueous solutions was affected by the solution concentration exponentially. It was shown that the permselectivity of the membrane for propyl propionate/water separation was mainly derived from its sorption selectivity due to the organophilicity of the membrane. The diffusivity of pure propyl propionate in the membrane was about 28 times higher than pure water diffusivity.
