a gas permeation model (coupling model) has been developed which has the flexibility to be used for different membrane module configurations. the aim of this work is to predict the performance of a single stage gas separation process using membranes and provide a comprehensive description of process parameters like flow rates, composition, stage cut and stream pressure. the significant feature ...

this paper discusses different important gas permeation models such as “maxwell”, “bruggeman”, “lewis-neilson”, and “pal” models to predict “mixed matrix membranes” (mmms) performance. the main parameter considered and discussed is the permeability of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes (cnts)-mmm. for evaluation of the theoretical models, experimental data of permeability for h2 were compared to the ...

comin the present study, co2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. a three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. the model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. the model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

it is several decades that the application of membrane processes for gas separation has become a great concern within industries. among them, the polymeric membranes of different structures have played the most important role. such application has been widely extended to gas separation and due to the necessity of both; prediction of the behavior of these processes and recognition of the effecti...

Membrane contactor using amine based absorbents is an efficient technology for CO2 separation from gaseous mixtures. A novel porous polysulfone (PSF) flat membrane was prepared via non-solvent phase inversion method. The PSF membrane was modified by adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) to the dope solution. The fabricated membrane was used in the serpentine flow field contactor module for CO2 abs...

Gas condensate reservoirs are characterized by a distinctive retrograde behavior and potential for condensate drop out during production and sampling. Efficient modeling of gas condensate reservoir requires careful phase behavior studies of samples collected prior to and during the production life of reservoir. In this work, an integrated characterization and tuning algorithm is proposed to ana...

This study is focused on fabrication and characterization of mixed matrix poly ether sulfone based nanofiltration membrane by phase inversion method. The effect of different amounts of Ilmenite (FeTiO3) particles as inorganic filler additive in the casting solution on physic-chemical characteristics of membranes was studied. Scanning electron microscopy, surface analysis, water content, contact...

reducing co2 emission and lowering the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has quickly become one of the most urgent environmental issues. while a variety of technologies and methods have been developed, the separation of co2 from gas streams is still a critical issue. apart from establishing new techniques, the exploration of membrane materials with high separation performance ...
