Polymeric Gas Separation Membranes: What Makes them Industrially more Attractive?

Practical Techniques for Improving the Performance of Polymeric Membranes and Processes for Protein Separation and Purification

Protein separation and purification technologies play an essential role in various industries including but not limited to pharmaceuticals, dairy as well as the food sector. Accordingly, a wide variety of techniques such as chromatography and electrophoresis has been developed and utilized extensively over the years for this purpose. Despite their widespread acceptance, conventiona...

Mechanistic Modeling of Organic Compounds Separation from Water via Polymeric Membranes

A mathematical model considering mass and momentum transfer was developed for simulation of ethanol dewatering via pervaporation process. The process involves removal of water from a water/ethanol liquid mixture using a dense polymeric membrane. The model domain was divided into two compartments including feed and membrane. For a description of water transport in ...

Correlation of separation factor versus permeability for polymeric membranes

The separation of gases utlhzmg polymenc membranes has emerged mto a commercially utlhzed unit operation It has been recogmzed m the past decade that the separation factor for gas pairs vanes inversely with the permeablhty of the more permeable gas of the speclflc pair An analysis of the literature data for bmary gas mixtures from the hst of He, Hz, 02, Nz, CH4, and COz reveals an upper bound r...

Preparation of Novel Thin-Film Composite Nanofiltration Membranes for Separation of Amoxicillin

Several novel composite membranes were prepared to separate and recycle amoxicillin from pharmaceutical wastewater via nanofiltration process. The synthesis of these membranes included three stages: 1- preparation of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes as a support via phase separation process, 2- modification of its surface by interfacial polymerization as a selective layer (polyamide), and ...
