Abstract

Abstract The use of ionic liquid–polymer in supported ultrafiltration membrane in vacuum pervaporation has been verified. The ultrafiltration membranes were impregnated by two ionic liquids (1-ethenyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tetrapropylammonium tetracyano-borate) and polydimethylsiloxane. These new and very stable supported ionic liquid–polymer membranes were used for separation of ternary mixtures butan-1-ol–acetone–water by vacuum pervaporation. In comparison with polydimethylsiloxane membranes, the average enrichment factor of butan-1-ol increased in both cases. This higher selectivity shows a good potential for improving pervaporation separation process.
