Abstract:
The industrial separation of hydrocarbons relies on distillation. Organic solvent nanofiltration can provide an energy-efficient alternative. We prepared high performance organosiloxane membranes for fractionation of heavy aromatics. They achieved a high permeance up to 0.13 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, with a rejection rate of 88.7% for hydrocarbons with five aromatic rings.
