Modelling of Pervaporation Separation of Butanol from Aqueous Solutions Using Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Mixed Matrix Membranes

In this thesis, a theoretical description of mass transport through membranes used in pervaporation separation processes has been investigated for both dense polymeric membranes and mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Regarding the dense polymeric membranes, the Maxwell-Stefan model was extended to consi...
