Abstract:Achieving satisfactory separation of N, N‐Dimethylformamide (DMF)/water is still challenging in industrial wastewater treatment. To address this issue, a novel method involving pervaporation (PV) separation using polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) blend films is proposed. Various characterization methods confirmed the strong compatibility between PVA and CS, and the blending improved their mechanical properties and thermal stability. Heat treatment significantly reduced the swelling degree of the membranes. I… Show more
