Abstract

Bioethanol is produced through the fermentation of biomass. It has garnered significant research attention due to its potential as the next generation of sustainable energy. The fermentation broth must be purified before it can be used. This article reviews membrane materials for the separation of ethanol and water using pervaporation membranes. It covers the pervaporation mechanism, membranes for ethanol dehydration, membranes for ethanol recovery, and the prospects of using membranes in this application.
