A membrane distillation (MD) system consisting of a membrane module and carbon nanotube immobilized membrane for organic solvent separation is disclosed. The MD module includes a feed inlet and outlet, a sweep gas inlet, and a sweep gas outlet. Thermostats are positioned at the feed inlet and outlet to measure the change in temperature. Preferential sorption of the organic on carbon nanotube immobilized membrane contributes to enhanced solvent removal of the MD system. A pervaporation (PV) system consisting of a membrane module and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) mixed matrix membranes with graphene oxide (GO)—carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for enhanced purification of the alcohol solution after membrane distillation to remove trace amount of water is disclosed.
A membrane distillation and pervaporation system, comprising (i) a membrane distillation system comprising a sweep gap membrane distillation module and a microwave unit, and (ii) a pervaporation system in fluid communication with the membrane distillation system, the pervaporation system comprising a membrane module and a liquid nitrogen trap.
A membrane distillation and pervaporation system, comprising:
A method for downstream recovery of a fermentation product, the method comprising the steps of:
