Study Notes
Established and Emerging Technologies
- The current well-established process in membrane technologies is not specified.
- Expansion is planned in the future for membrane technologies, but the specific type is not mentioned.
Membrane Types
- Asymmetric membranes are not mentioned in the context of hydrogen separation from gas mixtures.
- Isotropic membranes are used in gas separation processes to provide a uniform structure and selectivity.
- Microporous membranes have a highly voided structure and randomly distributed pores.
- Ion-exchange membranes carry fixed positively or negatively charged ions and are used in ion-exchange processes.
Separation Mechanisms
- In pervaporation systems for dehydration of alcohol, the driving force for separation within the membrane is the difference in chemical potential between the two sides of the membrane.
Filtration Processes
- The main purpose of Depth Filtration is to remove particles or contaminants from a fluid by passing it through a complex, three-dimensional structure.
- The mechanism behind Sieving in filtration processes is the physical blocking of particles larger than the pore size of the membrane.
Membrane Characteristics
- Microporous membranes have a low flux and are rarely used.
- The main function of a Microporous Membrane is to provide a physical barrier for the separation of particles or molecules based on their size.
