Reproducible Measurement Results in Organic Solvent Nanofiltration with Ceramic Membranes

Abstract

Ceramic membranes are still quite innovative to organic solvent nanofiltration. Nevertheless, flux and rejection results obtained in filtration measurements seem to depend largely on the experimental procedure, membrane production batch and setup. Therefore, an experimental approach is described, which proved to provide reproducible and reliable results that may be used as data set to derive parameters in model development.

Capturing unmodelled phenomena: A hybrid approach for the prediction of the transport through ceramic membranes in organic solvent nanofiltration

“…In order to expand the experimental space available to train and test the models, additional data was obtained from the literature (see table 2 and supplementary information). While the experimental methods used in the chosen publications are similar to the ones being described here, the reader is referred to the original references for additional details[3,7,15,19,73,74]. Summary of the membranes used in this work.…”
