The present investigation focuses on the separation of phenanthrene (a polyaromatic hydrocarbon) from n ‐tetradecane (model diesel composition) via pervaporation using a fabricated aromatic polyimide membrane. experiments demonstrate preferential permeation for all films within studied experimental range. influence operating temperature, membrane pretreatment time, composition, and thickness pervaporative performance were investigated. Statistical software Design Expert 7.1.4 was used to...
Pyrolysis gasoline (Py gas) is used as an octane enhancer of it rich in aromatics. However, removal carcinogenic benzene from Py gas before blending with important to meet the fuel specifications. The main focus this present study determine sorption kinetics and isotherm a fabricated insitu nano silver/polyvinyl alcohol (insitu Ag/PVA) membrane for pervaporative separation model [mixture (aromatic) 1-octene (aliphatic)]. thickness, surface morphological structure (Atomic Force Microscopy)...
To meet stringent fuel specifications, separation of aromatics from aliphatics is an everyday challenge for a refiner. In the present investigation, aromatic polyimide membrane fabricated and explored polyaromatic hydrocarbon (phenanthrene) model diesel composition (n-tetradecane) via pervaporation. The pervaporative prepared by casting solution polyamic acid, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), phenanthrene using simple low-cost procedure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform...
Removal of polyaromatics from diesel is important to meet automobile emission specifications. According Worldwide Fuel Charter, the maximum allowable concentration polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in automotive should be less than 2% vol (max). An aromatic polyimide membrane was fabricated by solution casting a mixture polyamic acid, N,N ‐dimethylacetamide and phenanthrene. This utilized for separation multicomponent consisting acenaphthene 2‐methyl naphthalene toluene n ‐tetradecane, chosen...
