“…The structure property of a membrane reactor can be of various kinds, so a membrane can be organized inside the device in the form of tubes (Aran et al, 2012), disks (Cao et al, 2012), hollow fibers (García-García, Torrente-Murciano, Chadwick, Liu, Liu, Wang, Gao, & Chen, 2012), or monoliths (Ameur, LuminiţaGîjiu, Belleville, Sanchez, & Paolucci-Jeanjean, 2014;Michelsen, Wilhelmsen, Zhao, & Åsen, 2013).…”

Membrane microreactors (MMRs) combine the advantages of membrane separation and microreactors such as high area/volume ratio, enhanced mass and/or heat transfer, improved catalytic efficiency without equilibrium limitation, good operational safety and design flexibility. This article presents a short review of recent developments in MMRs and in particular highlights their applications in catalytic processing. The structure and fabrication of MMRs, the incorporation of catalysts with membranes, the flow characteristics as well as their applications in a variety of catalytic processes are presented. The prospects and challenges of MMRs in catalytic processing are also presented and discussed. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Some approaches to enhance membrane performance using Dean vortices or Taylor flows have been reported, 14 and micro patterning has been used to increase the contact area and improve the separation performance in microfluidic membrane devices. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] However, SHM geometries have been neglected for membrane technology to date, as the underlying technology is not adaptable for large scale manufacturing. By contrast, membrane technology is gaining importance in microfluidic setups with application in pointof-care diagnostics and treatment, as well as in microfluidic portable devices such as blood sugar sensors and oxygenators.…”

Efficient gas–liquid contact using microfluidic membrane devices with staggered herringbone mixers

We describe a novel membrane based gas-liquid-contacting device with increased mass transport and reduced pressure loss by combining a membrane with a staggered herringbone static mixer. Herringbone structures are imposed on the microfluidic channel geometry via soft lithography, acting as mixers which introduce secondary flows at the membrane interface. Such flows include Dean vortices and Taylor flows generating effective mixing while improving mass transport and preventing concentration polarization in microfluidic channels. Furthermore, our static herringbone mixer membranes effectively reduce pressure losses leading to devices with enhanced transfer properties for microfluidic gas-liquid contact. We investigate the red blood cell distribution to tailor our devices towards miniaturised extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and improved comfort of patients with lung insufficiencies.
