Crosslinked blended membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and N-methylol nylon-6 were prepared either by thermal crosslinking at 180°C or by chemical crosslinking with maleic acid. The pervaporation performance for the separation of ethanol-water mixtures of these membranes was investigated in term

✦ Synopsis
The pervaporation separation of ethanol-water mixtures was carried out through a series of ionically crosslinked polyacrylic acid (PAA)-Nylon 6-blended membranes crosslinked to varying degrees in aluminum nitrate solution. The polyacrylic acid (PAA)-Nylon 6 membranes were cast from homogeneous PAA-Nylon 6 mixtures to various thicknesses and then crosslinked. Optimum pervaporation results were obtained from crosslinked blends containing 75 wt% Nylon 6 and 25 wt% PAA. These membranes have separation factors (water/ethanol) of 35-40 a t flux rates of 120-160 g/m2 h. The optimum crosslinking time was found to be approximately 35 h t o yield membranes with the best separation and flux rates a t 25 wt% PAA content.
