In this work, different feed mixtures are investigated for the separation of alcohol‐water, toluene‐water, alcohol‐toluene, and alkane‐toluene mixtures by pervaporation using a poly (dimethylsiloxane) membrane (PDMS). The polymeric membrane is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry...
