Membrane Assisted Solvent Extraction For Rare Earth Element Recovery

Specifically, the material properties may be different in one or more of the three orthogonal directions in a rectangular coordinate system. See the paragraph “Controlling the Orientation of Membrane Elements” below for details on setting up the material axes. In order to use this material model, the parts must have identical material properties in all directions.

A membrane element is usually located in a three-dimensional space, so its orientation may be in any directions. For convenience, the membrane element is commonly studied in the local Cartesian coordinate system represented by and located on the membrane element. Once a quantity is formed in the local system, it can be transformed to the global coordinate system. Our innovative printed spacers can optimize flow patterns and turbulence through the membrane element, minimizing the entrapment of particulates and organic fouling. This optimization leads to better cleaning and longer element life, as opposed to traditional membrane spacers that trap particles and biofilm within the spacer mesh thereby obstructing flow. Synder can create custom spiral wound elements and provide membrane development services for specific application processes upon request.

JIUWU ceramic membrane element is tubular composite membranes on an open porous carrier tube made of high purity α-alumina oxide and titanium oxide . The ceramic membrane element is optimized for maximum water permeability and high mechanical stability. Housing is designed with standard connectors to attach with incoming and outgoing piping.

7a are seals for each membrane at the core tube to prevent lateral mixing of permeate and feed-concentrate. 6 is a diagrammatic representation of a conventional spiral element of the prior art in an exaggerated “unwound” state intended to illustrate the flow direction of the feed-concentrate and permeate in such elements. Channels a and c are feed-concentrate channels with b the permeate channel.

It is also possible to replace a polymer filtration membrane by reutilizing the thermoplastic resin plate in breakage or deterioration of the microporous filtration membrane. In the invention , it is possible to obtain a membrane element that can maintain the strength of the nonwoven fabric with a better condition. In the invention , it is possible to obtain various membrane elements that can produce the above advantages.

According to the analogy between the wrinkling strain and the elasto-plastic strain, a wrinkling potential surface is assumed to exist and its normal direction defines the direction of the wrinkling strain tensor by virtue of the flow rule. Based on the consistent condition of the wrinkling potential surface, a modified constitutive tensor is obtained. To avoid the switching of the wrinkling state in the numerical solution, a new wrinkling criterion is proposed, in which the predominant influence of the previous state is included. Besides, a new approach to determine the wrinkling orientation is given to improve the efficiency of convergence in the slack region. The objectivity of the wrinkling coordinate frame is also demonstrated as an accompanying set of results.
