The absorption flux of multistage membrane contactor is simulated based on the value of x* obtained from the experiments.
An explicit equation for the determination of the overall mass transfer coefficient in a hollow fiber membrane contactor is developed.
The one-step conversion of benzene to phenol in a photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR) coupling simultaneous reaction and product separation by means a membrane contactor is reported.
Another hybrid process, membrane contactor, is not only combining an extraction and an absorption process but both processes are fully integrated and incorporated into one piece of equipment to exploit the benefits of both technologies fully (Klaassen et al. 2008).
With higher specific surface area than packings, hydrophobic hollow fiber membrane contactor is used as the permeable barrier between gas and liquid phase, and the CO2 can be captured by solvents (e.g., MEA) (Li and Chen 2005).
The membrane contactor is an emerging and promising membrane technology for PCC as it integrates the benefits of both liquid absorption (high selectivity) and membrane separation (modularity and compactness).
