There is provided a process for modifying a first organic composition
comprising (i) at least one first solvent, (ii) at least one solute, and
(iii) optionally, at least one second solvent to produce a modified
organic composition in which the concentration of the at least one first
solvent is reduced and the concentration of the at least one second
solvent is increased, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a
selectively permeable membrane having a first surface and a second
surface; (b) transferring a portion of the first solvent and optionally a
portion of the solute from the first surface to the second surface across
the membrane by contacting the first organic composition with the first
surface, wherein the pressure at the first surface is greater than the
pressure at the second surface, and wherein the membrane is a selectively
permeable membrane such that the membrane rejection (R) of the solute is
greater than 0%; (c) adding a portion of the second solvent to the
organic composition retained at the first surface of the membrane.
