In this paper, the viability of emulsion pertraction technology (EPT) for phenol recovery from the aqueous condensates obtained in the manufacturing of phenolic resins is described. This waste is highly concentrated in phenol (15–25 wt%) and formaldehyde (10–15 wt%). The experimental work was perfor

Pervaporation, a membrane technology requiring low energetic demands, is considered to substitute the conventional distillation unit employed in the beverage industry in order to recover the key aroma compounds, and that would avoid the damages to the quality of the flavour profile. The analysis of

This work reports the pervaporative separation of ethanol from ethanol –ethyl ter butyl ether mixtures using a commercial membrane, PERVAP 2256, that previously showed an interesting behavior in the separation of methanolMTBE mixtures. Pervaporation flux has been obtained and analyzed as a function
