This article considers the application of the sweeping gas membrane distillation process (SGMD) for direct separation of ethanol-water using a flat sheet PTFE membrane. It also studies the effect of operating parameters including feed concentration, feed temperature, feed flow rate, and sweeping gas flow rate on the permeation flux and selectivity of ethanol/water. The results showed that the increase in feed temperature increases in permeate flux and selectivity. Selectivities of 18.5 to 25 were achieved using dilute feeds within the temperature range of 35 to 55 degrees C. However, by increasing the feed concentration by more than 5wt.%, the selectivity was decreased. The increase in permeation flux and ethanol selectivity at higher feed flow rates was mainly due to the reduction of polarization effects. Moreover, the PTFE membrane was characterized by AFM. The results showed that the present process could be used as a stand-alone technique for bioethanol process integration.
