LIQUID MEMBRANE FOAM DIFFUSION

摘要

A gaseous mixture is passed through a layer of liquid surfactant membrane; gradually, a foam of bubbles is generated. The bubbles are coated with liquid membrane and have an interior of the gaseous mixture. Component(s) of the mixture permeate more rapidly through the membrane and pass into the foam. To remove the more rapidly permeating components an inert gas is passed through the foam; the inert gas entrains the more rapidly permeating components and serves to transport it out of the system.
