SEPARATION OF HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS BY FLOW UNDER PRESSURE THROUGH POROUS MEMBRANES,
Abstract
Three different types of porous films were used in the experiments. Two types of cellulose acetate and one type of polyethylene were used. The feed solution systems tested were xylene-ethyl alcohol, xylene-n-heptane, and n-heptane-ethyl alcohol. The operating cell consists of a stainless steel pressure chamber of two detachable parts. The film is mounted on a stainless steel porous plate embedded in the lower part of the cell through which the membrane permeated liquid leaves the system at atmospheric pressure. The upper part of the cell contains the feed solution under pressure in contact with the membrane. The separation technique was successful in all the cases tested.
