N2 - Gas- and vapor-liq. two-phase pervaporation was exptl. studied using a lab. scale and a bench scale pervaporation setup. Pervaporation expts. with low liq. flow rates in internally coated tubes were carried out for dewatering of 1,4-dioxane and iso-Pr alc. Relatively small amts. of gas or vapor are sufficient to reduce concn. and temp. polarization and to increase the total flux and selectivity more than two-fold compared with single-phase expts. The beneficial effects of a two-phase feed are also demonstrated by calcns. Addnl., by condensation the vapor effectively supplies the heat required for the selective evapn. through the membrane. As a consequence, this eliminates the liq. temp. drop that reduces the performance of pervaporation modules. The values of the total flux achieved using vapor-liq. two-phase pervaporation at laminar flow conditions are close to those for turbulent conditions. [on SciFinder (R)]
