✦ Synopsis

The relationship between the diffusion coefficient of asphaltenes and pore size was studied experimentally using track-etched mica membranes. The asphaltenes were extracted from Kuwait atmospheric bottoms using criteria of n-pentane insolubility and tetrahydrofuran solnbility at 25°C. Data were obtained for asphaltene fractions of narrow size range by using gel permeation chromatography to analyze the diffusion samples. The results show a very strong pore size effect on diffusion coefficient in the range 7GSOO A pore radius for asphaltenes whose GPC-equivalent polystyrene molecular weight is 3000 or greater. By properly accounting for the molecular size of the asphaltene fractions, we are able to obtam good agreement between the measured diffusion coefficients and those predicted from a hydrodynamic theory of hindered diffusion.

The hindered diffusion of polystyrene in dilute solutions of ethyl acetate through polyimide ultrafiltration membranes has been investigated. The present system did not show specific membrane-solute interactions; furthermore, polystyrene can be considered as a flexible polymer coil. It is shown that

Membrane distillation is a process in which, for example, water in a heated salt solution, evaporates through a porous membrane. The vapour condenses on a coolant surface on the other side of the membrane. The two liquid streams, the salt solution and the condensate, are separated by a highly porous
