Membrane technology applications

This course covers the main conventional membrane technologies for liquid and gas media. With regard to liquid media, baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will be described, as well as technologies based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature gradients (membrane distillation). Gas permeation and pervaporation for gas and/or vapor separation will also be presented. For all technologies, the question of the choice of suitable membrane materials will be addressed, and representative examples of appropriate fields of use (in line with current environmental and energy issues) will be given.

Hourly volumes* :

            CM : 11h

            TD: 9h

The aim of this course is to apply students' knowledge of membrane materials to the use of these membranes in separation processes. On completion of this course, students will be able to select a type of membrane material suited to the target separation process, and control the process parameters.
