Abstract
Even though the separation of organic mixtures by RO has been the dream of membrane researchers since the onset of RO, this area remains practically unexplored due to the insufficient membrane selectivity between organic compounds and the poor durability of polymeric membranes in the organic environment. Durability can be improved significantly by the use of ceramic materials but desired selectivity can not necessarily be achieved. For this reason, current research in this field is mostly for the development of NF and its applications. In this chapter, the thorough description of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) was made, hoping that a breakthrough will be made in organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSR) in the nearest future.
