Abstract

PTMSP membranes reinforced with a metal wire mesh have been fabricated and experimentally studied to increase the permeability and mechanical properties of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) membranes in the course of thermopervaporation (TPV) removal of butanol from fermentation broths. The effect of the material wire of the mesh (stainless steel and bronze) and mesh size (30–40 μm) on the flux and separation factor in the course of thermopervaporation separation of aqueous solutions of butanol has been experimentally studied. It is shown in this work that the use of a metal wire mesh as a support instead of traditional commercial porous supports does not reduce the separation properties of a PTMSP membrane in the course of TPV removal of butanol from model fermentation mixtures. Separation modes that make it possible to obtain permeate fluxes above 1 kg m−2 h−1 have been found. It is shown in this work that the permeability coefficient of water through PTMSP membranes is 2.5 × 10−5 mol m−2 h−1 kPa−1 and does not depend on the temperature of the feed and thickness of the membranes.
