Combined heat and mass transfer device for improving separation process

Patent Tran, Thanh Nhon [Flossmoor, IL]

A two-phase small channel heat exchange matrix simultaneously provides for heat transfer and mass transfer between the liquid and vapor phases of a multi-component mixture at a single, predetermined location within a separation column, significantly improving the thermodynamic efficiency of the separation process. The small channel heat exchange matrix is composed of a series of channels having a hydraulic diameter no greater than 5.0 millimeters for conducting a two-phase coolant. In operation, the matrix provides the liquid-vapor contacting surfaces within the separation column, such that heat and mass are transferred simultaneously between the liquid and vapor phases. The two-phase coolantmore »« less

Filtration device for rapid separation of biological particles from complex matrices

Patent Kim, Sangil; Naraghi-Arani, Pejman; Liou, Megan

Methods and systems for filtering of biological particles are disclosed. Filtering membranes separate adjacent chambers. Through osmotic or electrokinetic processes, flow of particles is carried out through the filtering membranes. Cells, viruses and cell waste can be filtered depending on the size of the pores of the membrane. A polymer brush can be applied to a surface of the membrane to enhance filtering and prevent fouling.

Separation of certain carboxylic acids utilizing cation exchange membranes

Patent Chum, Helena L [Arvada, CO]; Sopher, David W [Maarssenbroek, NL]

A method of substantially separating monofunctional lower carboxylic acids from a liquid mixture containing the acids wherein the pH of the mixture is adjusted to a value in the range of from about 1 to about 5 to form protonated acids. The mixture is heated to an elevated temperature not greater than about 100.degree. C. and brought in contact with one side of a perfluorinated cation exchange membrane having sulfonate or carboxylate groups or mixtures thereof with the mixture containing the protonated acids. A pressure gradient can be established across the membrane with the mixture being under higher pressure, somore »« less

Membrane permeation process for dehydration of organic liquid mixtures using sulfonated ion-exchange polyalkene membranes

Patent Cabasso, Israel [131 Buckingham Ave., Syracuse, NY 13210]; Korngold, Emmanuel [P.O. Box 1025, Beer-Sheva 84110, IL]

A membrane permeation process for dehydrating a mixture of organic liquids, such as alcohols or close boiling, heat sensitive mixtures. The process comprises causing a component of the mixture to selectively sorb into one side of sulfonated ion-exchange polyalkene (e.g., polyethylene) membranes and selectively diffuse or flow therethrough, and then desorbing the component into a gas or liquid phase on the other side of the membranes.
