Equilibrium facilitated mass transfer in plate type reactive membrane separation devices
The introduction of mobile carrier species which react reversibly with the solute species in liquid membrane mass transfer separation devices can give enhanced mass transfer rate. For one-dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of a Newtonian fluid past a single-membrane separator with equilibrium facilitated transport inside the membrane, the mass transfer rate in the separator was analyzed numerically. For a Damkohler number equal to infinity, the effect of maximum facilitation factor, dimensionless equilibrium constant, dimensionless velocity and similarity transformation parameter on the performance of separators was investigated. The dependence of the membrane-fluid interfacial concentration and equilibrium facilitation factor on dimensionless velocity and similarity transformation parameter was discussed.
