membrane process. The affinity of the bio-based polylactide (PLA) for ethanol has also been reported for
poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)/PLA blends for this application. In this work, new bio-based membranes were obtained
by grafting CA with controlled PLA amounts by a “grafting onto” strategy. The CA-g-PLA copolymers were
characterized by ATR-FTIR, 1H NMR, DSC and SAXS. Their membrane properties were investigated in terms of
structure-morphology-property relationships for the sorption and pervaporation of the targeted EtOH/ETBE
mixture. PLA grafting onto CA strongly improved the flux (×12) while the ethanol permeate content remained in
the very high range (C′ > 90 wt%) for ETBE purification by pervaporation.
