Pervaporation experiments were performed at higher than normal feed liquid boiling temperatures by applying pressure to the feed compartment. Ethanol, acetone, and aqueous ethanol solutions were pervaporated through silicone rubber dense membranes. Large increases were observed in the permeate flow as the temperature rose above the liquid boiling temperature. Separation factors in aqueous ethanol pervaporation are not affected by these increases in permeate output, and they are in the same range as those obtained in conventional pervaporation.
