MEMBRANE DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR MASS EXCHANGE, SEPARATION, AND FILTRATION

摘要

A membrane device and processes for fabrication and for using are disclosed. The membrane device may include a number of porous metal membranes that provide a high membrane surface area per unit volume. The membrane device provides various operation modes that enhance throughput and selectivity for mass exchange, mass transfer, separation, and/or filtration applications between feed flow streams and permeate flow streams.
