Among many purification processes, pervaporation is one of the promising technologies which is an indispensable component for chemical separations with low energy consumption, minimum contamination and ability to break up azeotropic mixtures. The key success of pervaporation process is dependent on the membrane features (chemical components and morphology). Application of membranes surveyed in three categories included organic solvent dehydration, removal of organics from solvent and separation of organic solvents. This article review discusses different types of pervaporation membranes from the perspective of membrane fabrication and materials in biofuel products.
