Pervaporation through a nonporous membrane can be described by the widely accepted solution-diffusion mechanism (Binning and James 1958a, 1958b; Binning et al. 1961). The underlying assumptions of pervaporative transport are: 1Sorption of the liquid mixture on the feed (upstream) side of the membrane2Diffusion through the membrane3Desorption on the permeate (downstream) side of the membrane in the vapor phase.
