Abstract
The removal of ethanol from alcoholic beverages (such as wine or beer) is a current approach to manufacturing non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic products. Traditionally, the removal of ethanol from such alcoholic beverages is performed via distillation or evaporation. In wine, the removal of ethanol remains a challenge, as most of the organic compounds, that provide organoleptic and body properties to the wine, are also lost with the ethanol. As an alternative, pervaporation (PV), which uses selective dense membranes, represents an attractive alternative for the selective extraction of ethanol from the wine matrix. In this work, we implemented a lab-scale PV process using a commercial organophilic PERVAPTM4060 membrane for the pervaporation of ethanol from commercial red wine (ethanol content 12.5 vol%) with an operating temperature between 20 and 50°C. The measured flux at 50 °C was 0.765 kg m2 h−1, with separation factor of 7.4. Apart from the process efficiency, we studied the membrane resistance and calculated the apparent activation energy of ethanol/water in this process Special attention was given to the impact of the PV process on ethanol removal and the concentration of metals in wine.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
