Facilitated Transport

Abstract

The commonly accepted mechanism for the transport of a penetrant in nonporous polymer membranes is solution-diffusion (Crank and Park 1968). The penetrant species dissolves in the membrane and diffuses across the membrane due to an imposed concentration gradient. Facilitated transport membranes also involve a reversible complexation reaction in addition to penetrant dissolution and diffusion. The addition of the complexation reaction makes facilitated transport analogous to a chemical absorption process on the feed (high partial pressure) side of the membrane and a stripping process on the product, or permeate, side of the membrane. Facilitated transport membranes, which are similar to emulsion liquid membranes and hollow-fiber contained liquid membranes described in previous chapters, have several general characteristics:
  1. 1

    They are highly selective.

     
  2. 2

    A maximum flux or minimum permeability is reached at high concentration driving forces.

     
  3. 3

    Very high permeabilities can be obtained at very low concentration driving forces.

     
  4. 4

    They are often unstable in the conventional immobilized liquid membrane configuration.
