【発明の名称】電気透析を含めた膜処理の改良
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11502764
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An integral, monolithic frame-membrane is disclosed, such frame-membrane having a semi-permeable membrane portion and integral therewith a frame portion, the frame portion having one or more cavities, each cavity juxtaposed to the membrane portion, each cavity having at least one fluid entrance conduit communicating with an entrance manifold aperture and at least one fluid exit conduit communicating with an exit manifold aperture. The integral, monolithic frame-membrane may be used in apparatus for carrying out gas-separation; microfiltration; ultrafiltration; nanofiltration; reverse osmosis (i.e. hyperfiltration); diffusion dialysis; Donnan dialysis; electrodialysis (including filled-cell electrodialysis; i.e. electrodeionization); pervaporation; piezodialysis; membrane distillation; osmosis; thermo osmosis; and electrolysis with membranes. Also disclosed are pillows prepared from ion exchanging films or fabrics (which may be porous or non-porous), the pillows filled with ion exchange structures such as beads, fibers, fabrics or rods. The pillows may be used with the integral, monolithic frame-membranes, with separate frames and membranes or with frames only.
