Polymeric Nanocomposites for Dehydration of Isopropyl Alcohol–Water Mixtures by Pervaporation
The present work focuses on poly(vinyl alcohol)/ZnO polymer nanocomposite membranes. The nanocomposite membranes are characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis spectra, XRD and SEM techniques. The membranes exhibited preferential water sorption and permeation. Results manifest that the fabricated films can be efficiently utilized to break the azeotropic point of isopropyl alcohol–water mixture.
