Methods of Green Chemistry in Environmental Technology Exercises I Eveliina Repo
Osmotic pressure • Osmotic pressure arises when two solutions of different concentrations, or a pure solvent and a solution, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. Molecules such as solvent molecules that can pass through the membrane will migrate from the side of higher concentration to the side of lower concentration in a process known as osmosis. • The pressure required to stop osmosis is called the osmotic pressure. • In dilute solutions, osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the molarity of the solution and its temperature in Kelvin
Osmotic pressure • Calculate the osmotic pressure exhibited • by a 0.42M KOH solution at 30oC • by a 0.35M Na2SO4 solution at 25oC
Osmotic pressure R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 = 0.0821 L atmK-1 mol-1 T = 303 K C (K+) = 0.42 mol/L C (OH-) = 0.42 mol/L C (solute) = 0.84 mol/L
Osmotic pressure R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 = 0.0821 L atmK-1 mol-1 T = 298 K C (Na+) = 0.7 mol/L C (SO4) = 0.35 mol/L C (solute) = 1.05 mol/L
Osmoticpressure • A solution of 20.0 g of polyisobutylene in 1.00 dm3 of benzene was placed in an osmometer, at 25°C. After equilibrium had been obtained, the height h was found to be 24.45 mm of benzene. Find the average molar mass of the polymer. The density of the solution is 0.879 g cm–3 h solvent solution membrane
Osmotic pressure • For 1 dm3 solution: • Mass of polyisobutylene was 20 g when its molar mass is:
Water (solution) flux Water diffusion can be expressed by a classical solution-diffusion model Dw = diffusivity in membrane, cm2/s or m2/s Cw = average water conc. in membrane, g/cm3 (~ 0.2) Vw = partial molar volume of water, cm3/g ΔP = pressure difference R = gas constant T = temperature Δπ = osmotic pressure difference z = membrane thickness Aw = permeability constant (at particular temperature)
Salt (solute) flux Salt flux in given as: Ds = diffusivity of solute in membrane, cm2/sor m2/s Ks = distribution coefficient C1 and C2 = feed side and permeate side solute concentration g /L z = membrane thickness As = solute permeability constant , m/s
Water / salt flux • A reverse osmosis unit is to deminerialize 750 000 L/day effluent. Pertinent data are: permeability coefficient: 0.2 L/(m2 day kPa) at 25 oC, pressure difference between the feed and product water: 2500 kPa, osmotic pressure difference between the feed and product water: 300 kPa. Determine the membrane area required if the lowest operation temperature is 10 oC. • Membrane area correction (AT/A25) should be considered as the following: For 10 oC,1.58; 15oC, 1.34; 20oC, 1.15; 25oC, 1.00; 30oC, 0.84

(a) What is the maximum water flux through this membrane at a pressure DP = 27.2 atm and 25 oC. The membrane is approximately 40 mm thick? (b) How much membrane area would be required to produce a liter of water in 1 hour? Vw = 18 cm3/mol.
Water / salt flux Desired amount of water: 1 L/h = 1000 cm3 / 3600 s = 0.27778 cm3/s Volume flux through 1 m2 of membrane: 0.0109 cm3/s m2

The flux in membrane element is 610 L/m2 4-2-1–system: Stage 1: 4 pressure vessels, Stage 2: 2 pressure vessels, Stage 3: 1 pressure vessel. There are seven elements in one pressure vessel and the area of one element is 33 m2. Yield of permeate is 75%. Concentrate Permeate
