Prototypes
Laboratory set-up for O2/O3 separation using membranes.
Description: The gas separation laboratory set-up consist of the following components: i) oxygen cylinder; ii) mass flow controller to regulate the flow of oxygen that is fed into the system; iii) corona discharge ozone generator; iv) diaphragm pump to compress the ozone stream up to 5 bar abs; v) membrane module made of stainless steel, incorporating the synthesized membranes (useful area of 2 cm2 or 28 cm2); vi) helium cylinder, where helium can be used as a carrier gas to decrease O3 concentration and therefore increase the partial pressure difference (driving force in a gas separation system); vii) pressure gauge to measure the pressure in the retentate stream up to 10 bar; viii) mass flow meter to measure the permeate stream flow; ix) ozone analyzer, capable of measuring ozone concentration in the feed, permeate and retentate streams; x) catalytic O3 destruction unit and O3 destroyer bottle (containing a 2% KI solution) to ensure total ozone destruction.
