Selective mass transfer in a membrane absorber

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A theoretical study of selective mass transfer in a plane-frame membrane absorber (contactor) has been made. A mathematical model of the process has been developed and the process of purification of a gas mixture depending on the flow parameters, the membrane, and the feeding-mixture composition has been studied with its help.
