摘要/Abstract

摘要： Hydrophilic ceramic membranes would be potential candidates for membrane gas absorption if they could be applied to appropriate separation processes. This study highlights a novel concept for the practical implementation of SO₂ absorption in hydrophilic ceramic membrane that exhibits outstanding thermal and mechanical stabilities. With this aim, we investigated experimentally the performance of SO₂ absorption into aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution in a hydrophilic alumina (Al₂O₃) membrane contactor in terms of SO₂ removal efficiency and SO₂ mass transfer flux, and compared the performance with that in a hydrophobic one. A series of experiments were performed at various conditions over a NaOH concentration range of 0-1.0 mol·L^-1, a liquid flow rate range of 30-180 ml·min^-1, a gas flow rate range of 120-1000 ml·min^-1, an inlet SO₂ concentration range of 400-2000 μl·L^-1, and a temperature range of 10-35℃. It was found that the hydrophilic membrane was more competitive when using a NaOH concentration higher than 0.2 mol·L^-1. Furthermore, it can be inferred that the hydrophilic α-Al₂O₃ membrane exhibited exceptional long-term stability under 480 h continuous operation.
