HYBSI

Dehydration of organic solvents and mixtures is an energy intensive process. Distillation and other thermal separation methods account for 80% of the energy consumed for industrial separations, which shows the need for more efficient separation. The HybSi® membrane can replace classical separation processes such as distillation. HybSi is stable in water at high temperatures, in (a)protic solvents, and in the presence of acids, which makes this membrane innovative in all ways compared to alternatives such as polymer and ceramic pervaporation or vapour permeation membranes...
