This study was undertaken to clarify the role of the active layer in the separation function and to determine the parameters governing permeation rate and selectivity in the process of pervaporation of organic mixtures through surface-modified membranes. These membranes were prepared by chemical reaction of surface-chlorinated polyethylenes with ethylenediamine, triphenylphosphate and triethylphosphite in order to obtain a specific membrane, the bulk properties of which remain unchanged, but which possesses functional groups that have a strong molecular interaction with one component of a binary organic mixture such as benzene—aniline, benzene—benzyl alcohol or benzene—phenol. The attenuated total reflection spectra and interference microscopy observations showed that these membranes had functional groups only on the membrane surface, as had been expected. The separation factor of the ethylenediamine membranes for a benzene—aniline feed apparently decreased when the modified membrane was placed so that the reacted surface faced the down-stream side, although the separation factor was identical when the membrane was mounted upside down on the pervaporation cell. These facts demonstrate that the active layer plays an important role in the separation function. p]It is concluded that the selectivity can be qualitatively explained in terms of both solubility parameters of the membrane surface and the components of the feed solution which, in our systems, are non-polar and non-aqueous organic solutions.
