Hybrid Membrane-Distillation Separation Processes [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
A novel synthesis approach is developed to evaluate and optimise various hybrid membrane-distillation schemes. The problem is formulated as an optimisation problem, where the objective is to minimise the total operating cost of the separation scheme ...

Analysis and Experimental Study on Water Vapor Partial Pressure in the Membrane Distillation Process

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
In membrane distillation, the vapor pressure difference is the driving force of mass transfer. The vapor pressure is generally assumed by the saturation pressure and calculated by the Antoine equation.

Experimental Investigation of Temperature Polarization near Membrane Surface During Air Gap Membrane Distillation Processes

open access: yesMembranes
Temperature polarization is a critical factor influencing the performance of membrane distillation. The presence of temperature polarization causes the temperature of the fluid near the membrane surface to be different from that in the bulk region ...

Membrane-assisted Cryogenic Distillation for Energy-efficient Argon Production from Air

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
High-purity argon is produced from air by cryogenic distillation; the process is energy intensive because of the similar volatilities of oxygen and argon.
