Ultrafiltration Process

The objective of the study is the low-pressure membrane process for treating aqueous solutions containing synthetic food dye (E104 - quinoline yellow). Dye concentration used was 10% (equivalent to 100g/m3). The pressures used in the ultrafiltration process were 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 MPa. Experiments were performed in dead - end instalations in which the effectiveness of the polysulfone - alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride (PSU-ABDMA) and polysulfone - N-dodecylpyridinium chloride (PSU - NDPCl) were tested. The efficiency of these membranes has been proved by calculating the permeate flow and the retention. Analyzing the experimental data, it was found that for the polysulfone-alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride composite membrane the degree of retention is completely different, with high values being obtained for low pressures and low values for high pressures used.

The objective of the study is the low-pressure membrane process for treating aqueous solutions containing food dyes and surfactants. The influence of surfactants (SDS � sodium dedecil sulphate, SO � sodium octanoate) in the separation of synthetic food dyes (E104 � quinoline yellow) was analyzed. Polysulfone and polysulfone-polyaniline membranes were used. Dye and surfactant concentrations used were 10% (equivalent to 100g/m3). The pressures used in the ultrafiltration process were 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 MPa. When dye containing solutions were passed through the membranes, an increase in their flux was observed. The presence of surfactants in the solutions lead to a decline in flux when pressures of 0.1 and 0.2 MPa were used, but an improvement could be seen as the pressure increased to 0.3 MPa, for both dead-end and cross-flow filtration. Using only dead-end alternative, higher fluxes were achieved for both membranes, but it decreases with time due to accumulation on the membrane surface. The use of cross-flow filtration did not allow accumulation on the membrane surface so that the flux was constant in time.The use of anionic surfactants improved the food dye retention. The interactions between membranes and surfactants can be an important factor supporting the efficiency of the ultrafiltration.

This study compares three conventional methods of natural gas (Associated Natural Gas) dehydration to carry out the dehydration process and suitability of use on the basis of energy requirement. These methods are Triethylene Glycol (TEG) absorption, solid desiccant adsorption and condensation. Analyses performed were based on dehydration of Natural Gas saturated with 103Nm3/h water content at a temperature range of -10O C to 30oC, and gas pressure variation between 7MPa and 20MPa. This analysis and study showed that energy required for all three processes decreases with increase in pressure, but condensation dehydration requires the least energy at high pressures. Results obtained shows that, both at high pressures and low pressures, TEG dehydration is most suitable and in cases where very low Tdew is required, solid desiccant adsorption is preferable. In conclusion, the findings in this paper will aid natural gas process design engineers to decide on what method to use base  on energy consumption and on the physical and chemical properties of the final products.Keywords: Dehydration, Absorption, Desiccant, Condensation, Triethylene Glycol (TEG)

Silicalite is an important nanoporous material that finds applications in several industries, including gas separation and catalysis. While the sorption, structure, and dynamics of several molecules confined in the pores of silicalite have been reported, most of these studies have been restricted to low pressures. Here we report a comparative study of sorption, structure, and dynamics of CO2 and ethane in silicalite at high pressures (up to 100 bar) using a combination of Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The behavior of the two fluids is studied in terms of the simulated sorption isotherms, the positional and orientational distribution of sorbed molecules in silicalite, and their translational diffusion, vibrational spectra, and rotational motion. Both CO2 and ethane are found to exhibit orientational ordering in silicalite pores; however, at high pressures, while CO2 prefers to reside in the channel intersections, ethane molecules reside mostly in the sinusoidal channels. While CO2 exhibits a higher self-diffusion coefficient than ethane at low pressures, at high pressures, it becomes slower than ethane. Both CO2 and ethane exhibit rotational motion at two time scales. At both time scales, the rotational motion of ethane is faster. The differences observed here in the behavior of CO2 and ethane in silicalite pores can be seen as a consequence of an interplay of the kinetic diameter of the two molecules and the quadrupole moment of CO2.
