Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/AU86/00081 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 17, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 17, 1986 PCT Filed Mar. 27, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO86/05706 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 9, 1986.A method of increasing the rate the transport of volatiles through porous barriers (13) such as membranes consists of subjecting the porous barriers (13) to a vacuum for sufficient time to remove any permanent gas from the pores (V), admitting a non-wetting liquid through inlet (14) to the barrier (13) either before or during the application of the vacuum whereby the non-wetting liquid forms films or bubbles (16) which seal the pores (V) to create a low pressure region within each pore (V) which is filled with vapor of the non-wetting liquid. The invention may be used to transport volatiles such as ethanol across a membrane and to transfer heat across a membrane.
