Blend chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite membranes were developed by mixing PVA and chitosan solutions at appropriate ratios. Pervaporation separation of the membrane was tested for methanol and MTBE mixture at different feed concentrations and temperature. The pervaporation performances...
