Hydrophobic coatings development for contactor membranes
EMSL Project ID
1701
Abstract
Porous contactor membranes are being developed for mass transfer of species into and out of aqueous solutions in high temperature corrosive environments encountered in heatpump and other applications. The membranes are required to be hydrophobic to prevent break-through of the water from one side of the membrane to the other while still being porous enough to allow vapor transport of dissolved species in the solution. The purpose of the proposed project is to develop coatings on commercially available microporous material or laser machined contactor membranes made of material that is not inherently hydrophobic. Coatings will be applied using plasma assisted surface activation or polymerization processes and using the vapor deposition capabilities currently existing in the EMSL.
