The reverse osmosis separation and concentration of polyhydric alcohols were experimentally tested by using cellulose acetate membranes of different average pore sizes. An attempt was made to predict membrane performance data, such as the solute separation and the product permeation rate, on the basis of the surface force-pore flow model, and the results were tested by experimental values. The processing capacities of the membranes were also calculated.
