Phosphotungstic acid loaded sodium alginate membranes for enhanced Pervaporative dehydration of Isopropanol

The Plain sodium alginate (NaAlg) and 5 wt % and 10 wt % phosphotungstic acid(PWA) incorporated NaAlg membranes have been fabricated by solution casting followed by solvent evaporation. The membranes formed were crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and tested for PV dehydration of isopropanol from their aqueous feed mixtures at water concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 25 wt %) at 30◦C. The crosslinking reaction was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements.
