## Abstract Mixed matrix membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrilidone) blends were prepared by loading with phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) and their pervaporation (PV) properties were investigated for the PV separation of isopropanol. Membrane performance shown a dependence on the extent
