Membrane-Assisted Volatile Organic Compound Removal from Aqueous Acrylic Latex Is Faster Than from Aqueous Solutions

Abstract: Solutes such as butyl ether and acetone, which cause unpleasant smells in latex paint, can be stripped from aqueous solutions using a porous membrane. The different mass transfer coefficients in this stripping are dominated by diffusion in the aqueous solution, and behave as expected from boundary layer theory. These solutes can also be stripped without foaming from latex paints whose viscosities are 20−50 times higher than those of aqueous solutions. For the more hydrophobic solutes such as butyl ether, the m… Show more

“…The created concentration gradient or the partial pressure difference across the membrane is the driving force for the separation process. The advantages of PV, regarding energy requirements and simple process control, allow for competitive applications like separating VOCs from water, aqueous acrylic latex, dehydrating organic solvents, and organic-organic solvent separation [16][17][18][19][20]. The study of VOC pervaporation using microfluidic devices is of particular interest due to the notorious concentration polarisation, or depletion, resulting in severe mass transport limitations.…”
