A More Precise Criterion for the Formation of a Steady-State Sorption Front

Abstract

A more precise criterion for the formation of a steady-state sorption front is the convergence of the integrals which characterize the quantity of a sorbate in the leading edge of the front and the unused capacity of a sorbent behind the front. Existence of an asymptotic solution of the equation of sorption dynamics is not sufficient for convergence of these integrals, if the line passing through the points of the equilibrium isotherm, which correspond to the initial concentratons in the solution … and in the sorbent, is tangent to the isotherm at one of these points.     

Processing of ethanol fermentation broths by Candida krusei to separate bioethanol by pervaporation using silicone rubber‐coated silicalite membranes

BACKGROUND: Pervaporation employing ethanol‐permselective silicalite membranes as an alternative to distillation is a promising approach for refining low‐concentration bioethanol solutions. However, to make the separation process practicable, it is extremely important to avoid the problems caused by the adsorption of succinate on the membrane during the separation process. In this work, the pervaporation of an ethanol fermentation broth without succinate was investigated, as well as the influence of several fermentation broth nutrient components. RESULTS: Candida krusei IA‐1 produces an extremely low level of succinate. The decrease in permeate ethanol concentration through a silicone rubber‐coated silicalite membrane during the separation of low‐succinate C. krusei IA‐1 fermentation broth was significantly improved when compared with that obtained using Saccharomyces cerevisiae broth. By treating the fermentation broth with activated carbon, bioethanol was concentrated as efficiently as with binary mixtures of ethanol/water. The total flux was improved upto 56% of that obtained from the separation of binary mixtures, compared with 43% before the addition of activated carbon. Nutrients such as peptone, yeast extract and corn steep liquor had a negative effect on pervaporation, but this response was distinct from that caused by succinate. CONCLUSION: For consistent separation of bioethanol from C. krusei IA‐1 fermentation broth by pervaporation, it is useful to treat the low nutrient broth with activated carbon. To further improve pervaporation performance, it will be necessary to suppress the accumulation of glycerol. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry     

Pervaporation performance of polystyrene membrane surface with perfluoroalkyl groups

Research on the effect of various chemical groups on the pervaporation performance of membranes was very important for understanding the separation phenomenon. In this article, a polystyrene membrane with ? CF₃ groups on its surface was prepared by casting normal polystyrene (PS‐H) solution with small‐molecular‐weight α,ω‐fluoroalkyl‐terminated polystyrene (S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂) on a glass plate. The amount of ? CF₃ groups on the surface was adjusted by changing S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂ content, which was documented by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, surface energy, and contact angle measurements. The effect of S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂ content on separation performance of S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂/PS‐H blend membranes for ethanol/water mixture was investigated. The results showed that water concentration in the permeate decreased with increasing S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂ content; however, the permeation rate did not change until the S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂ content was increased to 1 wt %. The reason for this was attributed to the fact that a small amount of S‐PS‐(CF₃)₂ enables a simple surface modification of the membrane keeping its inner structure relatively unchanged. This was confirmed by swelling degree measurements and other experiments. Comparison with our previous work showed that the ? CF₃ groups on the surface lowers the water permselectivity of the polystyrene membranes, whereas the ? COOH groups enhance the water permselectivity. However, neither hydrophobic ? CF₃ nor hydrophilic groups on the membrane surface appeared to have any influence on flux. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

ZIF-8 Filled Polydimethylsiloxane Membranes for Pervaporative Separation of n-Butanol from Aqueous Solution

ZIF-8-filled polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes, PDMS/ZIF-8, were prepared by a two-step polymerization process and were used to recover n-butanol from an aqueous solution by pervaporation (PV). Compared with pure PDMS membrane, PDMS/ZIF-8 membranes demonstrated an obviously higher n-butanol permselectivity. As an increase of ZIF-8 content, n-butanol/water selectivity increased initially and then decreased, while the n-butanol and water permeability decreased monotonously. PDMS/ZIF-8 membrane containing 2 wt% ZIF-8, that is, PDMS/ZIF-8-2 showed the highest selectivity. On the other hand, selectivity and permeability for n-butanol and water of PDMS/ZIF-8-2 membrane decreased with the increase of operating temperature. The selectivity and permeability for n-butanol reached 7.1 and 3.28 × 10⁵ barrer, respectively, at 30°C when the feed concentration of n-butanol was 0.96 wt%.     

Use of Sodium Alginate-Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Membranes for Pervaporation Separation of Acetone/Water Mixtures

Pervaporative separation of acetone from water at a concentration range of 0–100 wt% were studied using sodium alginate (NaAlg)/Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) membranes. Membranes were prepared in different ratios (w/w) (100/0, 95/5, 90/10, 85/15, 80/20, 75/25) of NaAlg/PVP by crosslinking with CaCl₂. Experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effects of the operating temperature, feed composition, and membrane thickness on the pervaporation performance. The optimum operating temperature, membrane thickness, NaAlg/PVP ratio, and feed composition were determined as 40°C, 70 µm, 75/25 (w/w), and 20 wt% acetone, respectively. The effect of PVP content in the membranes was investigated on pervaporation performance. The permeation rate was increased with increasing the PVP content; however, there was no appreciable change about the separation factor. The permeation rate and separation factor values were found to be in the range of 0.304–1.023 kg/m² h and 16–57, respectively. In addition, the sorption-diffusion properties of the alginate membranes were investigated at the operating temperature and the feed composition. It was found that the sorption selectivity was the dominant factor for the separation of acetone/water mixtures.     

Vulcanized paper for separation of alcohol aqueous solutions by pervaporation

Paper membranes made from vulcanized cellulose were used for the pervaporation (PV) of aqueous solutions containing methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. It was noted that the vulcanized cellulose paper membranes (VCPM) could effectively separate alcohol and water from the mixture solutions. To observe the effect of the separation of alcohol aqueous mixtures, the permeation behavior of water and alcohol was examined by means of the separation factor and the permeation flux. The values of the permeation flux in the ethanol/water mixtures were found to vary from 6.2 kg/m²h to 2.1 kg/m²h, as the concentration of ethanol increased from 8 to 87 wt %, and the separation factor (α) changed from α = 2.6 to 6.6, respectively. This showed that the VCPM enhanced the separation of water and alcohol. The highest value observed for the permeation flux was 11 kg/m²h at 87 wt % of methanol concentration and the separation factor at this condition was 4.1. It was shown also that an efficient separation was obtained in the isopropanol/water mixture with a separation factor of 16.6. The contact angles of alcohol/water droplets on the VCPM were measured as well as the wettability of the membrane. There was a tendency of decrease for the contact angle, as the alcohol concentration decreased. This suggested that the solvent wettability decreased in high alcohol concentrations. It was concluded that a high permeabilitty of water through the VCPM resulted in the separation of alcohols and water in the PV process. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
