Abstract: Biofuels are combustible fuels produced from biomass. Among them bioethanol is considered the most promising one due to its high energy value and may be used to replace refined petroleum in the future. Distillation is largely used for the production of ethanol. The main commercial problem is the excessive amount of wastewater discharged from the distillation columns, as well as this process becomes energy-inefficient for azeotrope-breaking or separation/recovery of organic chemicals from relatively dilute aqueous solutions. Pervaporation separation technique shows to be a highly potential alternative for both recovery and dehydration of ethanol.
