Hybrid membranes were prepared using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) via hydrolysis and cocondensation reaction for the pervaporation separation of water-isopropanol mixtures. The resulting membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature of these membranes varied from 100 to 120degreesC with increasing TEOS content. Effects of crosslinking density and feed compositions on the pervaporation performances of the membranes were studied. The membrane containing 1.5:1 mass ratio of TEOS to PVA gave the highest separation selectivity of 900 at 30degreesC for 10 mass % of water in the feed mixture. It was found that the separation selectivity and permeation flux data are strongly dependent on the water composition of the feed and operating temperature. However, the membrane with the highest crosslinking density showed unusual pervaporation properties. The overall activation energy values were calculated using the Arrhenius-type equation. The activation energy values for the permeation and diffusion varied from 49.18 to 64.96 and 55.13 to 67.31 kJ/mol, respectively. Pervaporation data have also been explained on the basis of thermodynamic quantities. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
