Industrial applications and opportunities for membrane contactors
bookPart
In a membrane contactor membrane separation is fully integrated with another separation technology, like extraction or absorption, in order to exploit the benefits of both technologies fully. Membrane contactor applications can be found both in water and gas treatment. Several recently developed applications that have been introduced in industry - aromatics recovery from a process water, selective removal of heavy metals from a galvanic process bath and ammonia recovery from an off gas stream — and new applications under development —0O2 membrane gas absorption and membrane stripping- will be discussed technically and economically to show the wide scope of the technology.
