A gas permeation model (Coupling Model) has been developed which has the flexibility to be used for different membrane module configurations. The aim of this work is to predict the performance of a single stage gas separation process using membranes and provide a comprehensive description of process parameters like flow rates, composition, stage cut and stream pressure. The significant feature ...

We study the permeation dynamics of helium and carbon dioxide through an atomistically detailed model of a polymer of intrinsic microporosity, PIM-1, via non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. This work presents the first explicit molecular modeling of gas permeation through a high free-volume polymer sample, and it demonstrates how permeability and solubility can be obtained co...

Permeation-tube moisture generators are used in industry as calibrated sources of water vapor and carrier gas mixtures. Measurements were made using three permeation-tube moisture generators of the type used in the semiconductor industry. This paper describes repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations in measurement of moisture concentration from such generators. Repeatability refers...

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have shown promising gas separation characteristics that make them of interest for large-scale industrial applications. However, the gas transport mechanism for GO membranes is unclear due to inconsistent permeation and separation results reported in literature. GO membranes examined for gas separation were prepared on substrates and/or by synthesis methods that ar...

Closure systems for personnel protection applications, such as protective clothing or respirator face seals, should provide effective permeation barrier to toxic gases. Currently available mechanical closure systems based on the hook and loop types (example, Velcro) do not provide adequate barrier to gas permeation. To achieve hermetic sealing, we propose a nonmechanical, nanoscopic molecular c...

The aim of this study was to measure permeation of the herbicide dichlobenil in Casoron 4G through disposable and chemically protective nitrile gloves using an American Society for Testing and Materials-type permeation cell and a closed-loop system employing two different solvents (hexane and water) and two different challenge situations (aqueous emulsion and solid formulation). Capillary gas c...

The absorption and permeation of hydrogen in metals occurs in a variety of technological processes and systems, and in some cases the results are extremely detrimental (e. g., hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, degradation of electrical and magnetic properties, undesired loss (or gain) of hydrogen, etc.). In an increasing number of applications the hydrogen pressure, p, is extremely low,...

ZIF-8 films were successfully prepared on a flexible nylon substrate with a contra-diffusion synthesis method, and gas permeation experiments indicated that the films were continuous and compact.
