Summary
A.V.Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute of the NAS of Belarus offers consumers a technology for producing selectively permeable diffusion membranes of a new generation from anodic aluminum oxide under a commercial agreement with technical assistance, membranes from anodic aluminum oxide and gas separation installations under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a technical cooperation agreement.
Description
Traditionally, separation, purification and enrichment of gas mixtures until recently were carried out by cryogenic, absorption, adsorption and catalytic methods. However, in recent years, membrane methods for the separation of gas mixtures, which are characterized by simplicity and reliability, economy, low energy consumption, and high industrial and environmental safety, have been increasingly used in industry.
A.V.Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute of the NAS of Belarus has developed a technology for obtaining selective-permeable diffusion membranes of a new generation from anodic alumina, which have a small thickness (<100 μm) with ordered porosity and a pore packing density of up to 1012 - 1014 cm-2.
In the manufacture of membranes, special attention is paid to reducing the thickness while maintaining mechanical strength, since the diffuse flux through the membrane is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane, which helps to reduce unit costs.
For effective separation of the gas mixture, the pore diameter in the membranes is selected in such a way that only the Knudsen flow is realized, which contributes to the separation process, reducing selectivity.
Anode alumina is a high-tech material that allows membranes of any shape to be obtained through the use of processing methods such as photolithography, local electrochemical oxidation, and precision etching.
On the basis of numerical simulation, the optimal geometric and technological parameters of the membrane element and the membrane unit were determined, which made it possible to achieve the maximum efficiency of the membrane gas separation process.
The results of enrichment for the heavy component for a single-stage passage of the gas mixture through a single diffusion element:
Applications: chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, biotechnology.
The Institute offers partners:
* technology for producing selectively permeable diffusion membranes of a new generation from anodic aluminum oxide under a commercial agreement with technical assistance;
* membranes from anodic aluminum oxide and gas separation installations under a manufacturing agreement;
* joint development of technology for producing selectively permeable diffusion membranes of a new generation from anodic aluminum oxide under a technical cooperation agreement.
