Development of high-performance and robust membrane via ‘hard-crosslinking-soft’ technique for dehydration of acetic acid

Acetic acid, as one of the top 50 important chemicals, has been broadly applied for production of cellulose acetate, polyvinyl acetate, as well as synthetic fibers and fabrics, and so on. However, the acetic acid production always involves in water which should be removed. Thus, energy-efficient and environmental-friendly dehydration of acetic acid is highly required in current chemical industry. In this study, we proposed a...
