AB  - Polymer membranes were prepared by blending high density polyethylene (HDPE) with 
      ethylene propylene diene terpolymer rubber (EPDM). These blend membranes were 
      evaluated for the selective separation of n-hexane from acetone. The flux and 
      selectivity of the membranes were determined both as a function of the blend 
      composition and feed mixture composition. Results showed that polymer blending 
      method could be very useful to develop new membranes with improved selectivity. 
      Pervaporation properties could be optimized by adjusting the blend composition. 
      The effects of blend ratio, feed composition, and penetrant size on the 
      pervaporation process were analyzed. The permeation properties have been 
      explained on the basis of interaction between the membrane and solvents and blend 
      morphology. Flux increases with increasing alkane content in the feed 
      composition.
