Abstract | ||||
In the present work dialysis process was examined using two types of easily available low cost membranes; nylon and polyethylene. The mass transfer through the membranes was affected by the flow rate of solutions passing by the membrane in parallel flow but with no consistent pattern. The overall mass transfer coefficient of the membranes was less by 10 times than that published by other authors for commonly used membranes in dialysis processes. A correlation was developed to predict the mass transfer coefficient and when compared with experimental data showed acceptable agreement. | ||||
