Graphical Abstract
Highlights
• Organophilic membranes can selectively recover organic compounds by pervaporation
• Non-polar structures preferred, whether organic, inorganic, or a mixture of same
• For ethanol recovery, a thin supported layer of silicone rubber gives highest flux rates
• For butanol recovery, flux rates best for silicalite on alumina support
• Metal-organic frameworks have great potential in the separation of organic isomers
