Dehydration

1 - 4 of 4 results

Solar drying, an energy-saving process, is an efficient food conservation solution for countries that often have only sun as an energy source. Decreased energy requirements for a drying and improved dewatering process result from lower moisture fraction. This investigation focuses on the study of wa

The performance of commercially available polymeric and microporous silica membranes (both supplied by Sulzer Chemtech GmbH) was investigated with respect to the dehydration of binary mixtures of isopropyl alcohol (IPA)/water. The range of concentrations investigated (CH2O # 20 wt.%) was selected ac

Two kinds of cross-linked quaternized chitosan (q-chito) membranes were used in this study. One was prepared by coating a casting solution of q-chito containing glutaraldehyde (GA) with a HCl catalyst onto a porous polyethersulfone (PES) support (membrane A). The other was membrane A further cross-l

A computational model has been developed for the simulation and optimization of the pervaporation process. This model involves solving coupled mass and energy balances, and chemical potential equations using a genetic algorithm. A visual, windows-based, user-friendly design software has been develop
