Abstract

Abstract The use of water-permeable membranes for pervaporation in the esterification of carboxylic acid with ethanol was studied. The perfect conversion due to the equilibrium shift was obtained by using an asymmetric polyetherimide membrane for removal of water generated by the esterification.
