Description
This course will cover the main conventional membrane technologies in liquid and gas media. Concerning the liquid medium, baromembrane technologies such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis will be mainly described, but also those based on electrochemical potential gradients (electrodeionization) or temperature (membrane distillation). In addition, gas permeation and pervaporation for the separation of gases and/or vapors will also be presented. For all the technologies, the question of the choice of the adapted membrane materials will be addressed and representative examples of appropriate fields of use (in connection with the current environmental and energy problems) will be given.
Hourly volumes* :
CM : 11h
TD : 9h
Objectives
The objective of this course is to use the students' knowledge of membrane materials in order to use these membranes in separation processes. At the end of this course, the students will be able to choose a type of membrane material adapted to the target separation process, and to control the parameters of this process.
Necessary pre-requisites
Design of membrane materials
Basic elements of process engineering and knowledge of dense or porous media
Knowledge control
Final exam 100%.
Syllabus
Membranes, Filtration/purification, Water treatment, Gas/vapour separation, Energy
