Membrane separation
Objective
Separation+valuation of pollutants present in high concentration (CO2, NH3, VOCs) in gaseous effluents using systems based on membranes made of mainly polymeric materials combined with metal oxides and minerals.
Inlets
Gases with polluting compounds generated in combustion processes, biogas, stripping, etc. which are present in high concentration and can permeate through a membrane.
Efficiency
Separation efficiencies depending on the concentration of the pollutant in the effluent. For example CO2 separation efficiency >95% in biogas streams.
Weaknesses
High concentrations of pollutants are required;
The membranes become saturated and generate efficiency losses;
The membranes become saturated and generate efficiency losses;
Products
Decontaminated gaseous effluents; Concentrated gaseous compounds or products obtained from them;
Other outlets
Saturated membranes
