During the past decade, there has been a growing interest in the
development of membrane-based processes, using solvent resistant
nanofiltration membranes, as alternatives to distillation,
crystallization and liquid-liquid extraction to improve efficiency of
many chemical and petrochemical applications. This paper will review
recent advances in the development and application of polymeric and
inorganic solvent resistant nanoporous membranes in these critically
important organic separations when used as standalone or in combination
with existing chemical/petrochemical operations.
