Jie Yao, Hao Sun

Abstract:
Polydimethylsiloxane/poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PDMS/PVDF) hollow fiber composite membranes were prepared through the non-solvent induced phase separation process for the vacuum membrane distillation to removal of phenols from coal gasification wastewater. The effects of membrane composition, system temperature, phase flow speed and pressure on the mass transfer coefficient for phenol through the membrane were invested in pilot-scale experiments. Compared with the pure PVDF membrane, PDMS/PVDF membrane had higher hydrophobicity for both the membrane surface and the inside porous and better phenols permeability performance in membrane distillation process. The composite membrane with a PDMS/PVDF mass ratio 1:10 exhibited a normalized phenols flux of 38.07 g/(m2h) and a separation factor of 5.3, which were both 1.5 times higher than that of pure PVDF membrane. Therefore, the developed composite membrane is a promising candidate for practical applications in phenols removal process.

Abstract:
Advances in biofuel technology: RHT- ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) and RHT- tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) are the smart configuration technologies to enhance the conversion to over 97 to 90 percent respectively by having multiple side draws from the columns, and one can much better quality also than competitive technologies. The major advantage in these processes is that it allows wet ethanol to be use in the process and still meeting tert-butanol (TBA) and tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) specifications in the product. Essentially process is rejecting the water from wet ethanol and makes high quality Ethers at low Capex and Opex to the competitive processes. RHT- Biodiesel process is optimized to produce biodiesel from palm oil, rapeseed oil, vegetable and animal product that are all fatty acids with even number of carbon atom typically 12 to 22 atoms. This biodiesel is comparable to hydrocarbon diesel. The triglycerides are reacted with methanol/ethanol or higher alcohol which all produces biodiesel in the acceptable boiling range. Methanol is most commonly used for the biodiesel production as being the cheapest alcohol, hence provides better economics. After the transesterification reaction the product, methyl esters of those oils /fats as product and glycerine is produced as a byproduct. Glycerine is separated from the methyl esters of vegetable oils that are the biodiesel by phase separation by gravity settling due to density differences. The methyl esters and glycerine are purified to meet the product specifications. The technology is able to provide that reaction also to meet high overall conversions and selectivity at low Capex and Opex without producing any liquid waste.

Abstract:
His research group found out a fascinating phenomenon that particles with sub-millimeter or millimeter diameter dispersed in water are flocculated into a spherical swarm by irradiating kHz band ultrasound, and developed a new process for particle separation and classification process. In this flocculation process, acoustic cavitation-oriented bubbles (ACOBs) play an essential role, which is absolutely different from conventional ultrasound particle manipulation techniques. The ACOBs’ dynamical characteristics in the ultrasound pressure field vary with the gas components and concentration in water; thus the particle flocculation patterns are influenced by the gas conditions. A pattern of spherical particle flocculation appears in air-dissolution water, and a pattern of chain-like flocculation appears in CO2 concentration-controlled water. Furthermore, the ACOBs’ dynamical characteristics vary with the ultrasound irradiation conditions such as amplitude, frequency and their change rate. First, on the basis of the forces acting on the ACOBs and the particles, the mechanisms of these flocculation patterns are discussed. Second, highly utilizing the revealed mechanisms, a new particle separation and classification process by diameter will be proposed. Finally, the performance of this new process is demonstrated. Particle classification by diameter by controlling ultrasound amplitude.

Abstract:
A bench-size flatbed module replicating specifications of industrial spiral wound modules incorporates electrodes for electrical impedance measurements of an in situ membrane and channeling system. The operation of the module in parallel with desalination plants generates data that after deconvolution yield indicators pre-empting rapid-flux-decline as the usual indicator of irreversible fouling. So the module affords life-saving warnings for plants as did canaries for miners in past centuries. The deconvolution further facilitates modelling of membranes and those nanostructures within effecting separation, such as a negative carboxyl-rich outer-layer and a juxtaposed positive amine-dominated inter-layer comprising the polyamide active region of the thin-film-composite polyamide reverse osmosis membrane. During the compaction phase salt in the feed neutralized the bipolar structure except at the junction where a nanometer-thick layer depleted of ionized salts electrochemically generated in concert with verifiable changes in the transmembrane electrical potential (TMEP). The modelling additionally verified presences of the active, substrate and support layers as well as manifestations of flux-dependent inductive and generative phenomena. Studies of calcium carbonate fouling correlated deteriorations in the ionic-barrier properties with the expected declines in salt-rejection and flux. The correlations and increases in TMEP were consistent with Ca2+ binding to paired -COO- groups in the carboxyl-rich outer-layer which diminished ionic-barrier properties of the depletion layer thereby explaining the decline in salt-rejection. More generally -COO-Ca-OOC- bonds can displace intermolecular hydrogen bonding and reduce sites that can bind the hydrogens of water. Such diminishes water-selective properties of the layer thereby explaining flux decline.
