Nitrate removal using supported liquid membranes: transport mechanism
نویسنده
چکیده
A new method is developed for the removal of nitrate ions from water. Nitrate ions can be removed from water almost completely, with a mobile carrier, by counter-transport of chloride ions through a supported liquid membrane. The transport characteristics of this process, in which the water phases are flowing parallel to flat membranes, are described. The results show that depending on the experimental conditions the flux is determined by the diffusion of the carrier through the membrane or by the diffusion of the nitrate ions through a laminar water layer at the feed side. The selectivity of the membrane, which depends on the type of the organic solvent, determines the influence of the chloride concentration in the stripping phase on the membrane flux. Furthermore the effect of carrier concentration is investigated.

Traditional systems for olefin/paraffin separation, like low-temperature distillation, are expensive and very energy consuming, and therefore, alternative separation methods are desired. Facilitated transport membranes are new tools for this separation to be substituted in large scale separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures. To design a membrane process for olefin-paraffin separation, equilibriu...

متن کاملHollow-fiber-supported liquid membranes with improved stability for nitrate removal
This paper describes the development of a hollow-fiber-supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) for the removal of nitrate ions from water. Two different membrane modules were designed which differed in length of the fibers. In order to test the HFSLMs on nitrate flux and stability, two set-ups were used: one in which feed and strip were recirculated, and one for the continuous removal of nitrate. Fur...
