Q: Is a membrane a selective barrier? ¶
A: Yes, it allows some things to pass through but stops others.
Q: Is a membrane a? ¶
A: Yes, It consists of working at sustainable flux which can be defined as the flux for which the TMP increases gradually at an acceptable rate, such that chemical cleaning is not necessary.
Q: Are membranes responsible for the interest in using them as additional unit operation for separation processes in fluid processes? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are membranes made by humans for use in laboratories and industry? ¶
A: Yes, The influent of an artificial membrane is known as the feed-stream, the liquid that passes through the membrane is known as the permeate, and the liquid containing the retained constituents is the retentate or concentrate.
Q: Are membranes typically built-into a submerged vacuum driven filtration systems which consist of stacks of modules each with a number of sheets? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are membranes used with pressure as the driving processes in membrane filtration of solutes and in reverse osmosis? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Are membranes placed inside a support porous tubes? ¶
A: Yes, and these tubes are placed together in a cylindrical shell to form the unit module.
Q: Were membranes not widely exploited? ¶
A: Yes.
