3. Results In order to facilitate rapid screening of membrane separation performance, initial experiments were carried out using a simplified model mixture (Mixture A, see Table 2) consisting of C6–C8 alkanes and alkenes, in addition to toluene and n-hexadecane. Although the usage of model mixtures is debated in the OSN field [16,17], a first assessment can be useful in order to evaluate the membranes initial permeability and retention.
