Research Abstract

A novel membrane process for gas and vapor by using a surface soaked liquid membrane was developed with triethylene glycol liquid base. The liquid membranes were effective for separation of water, carbon dioxide and organic vapors in the air. Separation performance and the design parameters were presented for the liquid membrane process.
