Hi guys,

I am new to this industry. I am curremtly doing a project to best separate a mixture of 10% methanol and 90% water (wt %). I am thinking of either reverse osmosis or vacuum distillation. After some research online, contradicting facts. It says that RO can achieve a max of 20% separation and that VD is costly to maintain and space consuming.

Could anyone please shed some light on the separation effectiveness of RO. And advise which is the more suitable method if I were to do this on a large scale.

Thanks a lot.

Regards
