what are the physical and chemical properties and mechanical structure of typical synthetic membrane used in mass separation processes?
Physical properties
1) Pore Diameter
Pore diameter is probably the most important property characterizing a microporous membrane. Although microporous membranes are usually characterized by a single pore diameter, note that most membranes actually contain a range of pore sizes (i.e. there exists a pore size distribution).
2) Porosity
Porosity is the fraction of total membrane volume that is porous. Typical microporous membranes have average porosities from 0.3 to 0.7.
3) Tortousity
Membrane tortousity (t) is the length of the average pore compared to the membrane thickness. Simple cylindrical pores at right angles to the membrane surface have a tortousity of 1.0. Since pores usually take a more meandering path through the membrane, typical tortousities are in the range of 1.5 to 2.5.
Some examples of the synthetic membrane:
Chemical properties of synthetic membrane:
1) Hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity (related to surface free
energy)
2) Membrane chemical or thermal resistance
3) Binding affinity for particles in a solution
4) Biocompatibility (in case of bioseparations)
Mechanical structure of synthetic membrane:
Typical strucure with examples,
There are different modules of synthetic membrane used in mass separation,
1) Hollow fibre membrane module
2) Plate and frame membrane module
3) Spirally wound
4) Flate sheet
5) Tubular membrane module

Enantiomers have the same physical properties and cannot be separated using typical laboratory methods. In general, separation can be achieved by converting a racemic mixture to two different diastereomers, which can then be separated. Given the racemic amine and chiral resolving agent below, identify the two diastereomers formed. Use the following order X, Y, Z, where X refers to the configuration of the amine, while Y and Z refer to the configuration of the carboxylic acids. The diastereomers can be...
