Question
- The Prism gas permeation process developed by the Monsanto Company is selective for hydrogen when using hollow-fiber membranes made of silicone-coated polysulphone. A gas at 16.7 MPa and 40 °C, and containing in kmol/h: 42.4 H2, 7.0 CH4, and 0.5 N2 is separated into a nonpermeate gas at 16.2 MPa and a permeate gas at 4.56 MPa.
- If the membrane is nonpermeable to nitrogen, the Prism membrane separation factor (SP), on a mole basis for hydrogen relative to methane, is 34.13; and the split fraction (SF) for hydrogen to the permeate gas is 0.6038, calculate the flow of each component and the total flow of non-permeate and permeate gas.
- Calculate the purity of hydrogen in the permeate gas.
