Membrane Filtration: Removal of Pesticides or De- Salination of salt water Membrane Filtration Membrane filtration is physical separation of a substance by means of a semi-permeable membrane. The presence of a gradient, i.e. a propelling force, across the membrane drives the process. The propelling force can be electrical, chemical or may use pressure. This force pushes the smallest molecules (the substances' "building blocks") in a given solution through the membrane and keeps back the larger molecules.
Applications: De-salination of salt water. Purification of drinking water (e.g. removal of pesticides) The food-processing industry. The electronics industry (production of ultra-pure water). The pharmaceuticals industry. The petrochemical industry. Types of membrane filtration: Membrane filtration is divided into the following four types, depending on the size of the molecules to be filtered: Micro filtration (MF) Ultra filtration (UF Nano-filtration (NF) Reverse Osmosis (RO)
Types of membrane Modules: Membrane filtration modules are available in many designs. The four most important types of module are: Tubular Module Hollow fiber module Spiral wound module Plate & Frame module See at more from here: https://goo.gl/ZMQlx7
