  • Separation of Water out of Highly Concentrated Electrolyte Solutions Using Multistage Vacuum Membrane Distillation
    Separation of water out of highly concentrated electrolyte solutions using multistage vacuum membrane distillation Bin Jiang Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2013-082MSC EKV967 Division of Heat and Power SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis EGI-2013-082MSC EKV967 Separation of water out of highly concentrated electrolyte solutions using multistage vacuum membrane distillation Bin Jiang Approved Examiner Supervisor 26.09.2013 Andrew Martin Daniel Minilu Woldemariam Commissioner Contact person Abstract Absorption dehumidification requires regeneration system to regenerate diluted desiccant solutions, which are still highly concentrated. A novel multi-stage vacuum membrane distillation system was applied for separating water out of the highly concentrated solution. The performance of this novel membrane distillation system with high concentration solution is studied, as well as the effect of solution concentration, heating temperature and feed flow rate on concentration increase, permeate flux and specific energy consumption was studied. Feed solutions are LiCl solution (22-30 wt%) and CH3COOK solution (50-60 wt%).Other experimental parameters studied were: heating temperature, 70-80 °C, feed flow rate, 1.2-2.0 l/min. Response surface method is applied for model building, in order to provide a better understanding of the interactions between different parameters. Compared with pure water, high concentration solution has lower vapor pressure, which leads to lower permeate flux. The highest concentration the system can reach is 36.5 wt% for LiCl solution and over 70 wt% for CH3COOK solution, when the heating temperature is 80 °C. Lower concentration and higher heating temperature will result in larger increase in concentration, higher permeate flux and also lower specific energy consumption.

  • Introduction Part I. Electrolysis of Lithium Chloride in Pyridine
    DECOMPOSITION CURVES OF LITHIUM CHLORIDE IN PYRIDINE AND IN ACETONE-.'I"E EFFECT OF WATER BY HARRISON EASTMAN PATTEN AND WILLIAM ROY MOTV Introduction Lithium chloride is soluble in a number of organic liquids, and thus affords ready means for studying the effect of change in solvent upon the process of electrolysis. In the deposition of lithium from its chloride in a series of alcohols' we have considered only a simple solvent. This paper takes account of the influence of moisture on the electrolysis of lithium chloride in pyridine and in acetone, starting with the anhy- drous solvents. Part I. Electrolysis of Lithium Chloride in Pyridine During the electrolysis of a pyridine solution of lithium chloride in an open cell,s there is a marked increase in the cell resistance. Thus, in a series of decomposition-curve determinations, polarization values for the total cell ranged from 4.00' volts4 to 2.70 volts, and in sonie instances a rise of ten to a hundred fold was observed in the cell resistance. A preliminary attempt to take anode and cathode curves gave a polarization of 1.6 volts at the anode, and $0.4 volt at the cathode. As these solutions were not strictly anhydrous, it seemed advisable to study the effect of water. So several solutions were made up with great care to exclude moisture, This work was carried out in the laboratories of physical chemistry and of applied electrochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, and the authors wish to express their appreciation of the courtesy extended to them by Professor I,.

Research Institute, Yokohama Vapor-liquid equilibrium data at atmospheric pressure of the system : acetone-methanol-salt are studied. The Salts, Kl, NaCI, MgCI2, CaCI2/ LiCI, and CaBr2 are examined to observe the salt effect on the acetone-methanol system. Effective salts are CaQ2, LiC! and CaBr2, which are more soluble in methanol than Kl, NaCI and MgCh. CaCI2, LiCI and CaBr2 are observed to shift the azeotropic composition from 8O.I to 88.6, 9I-O and 94.O mole /# of acetone, respectively. The salt effect at each infinite dilute concentration of acetone and methanol increases with the increasing solubility of each salt in the rich concentration component. In general, salts shift azeotropic compositions or 2) Experimental method eliminate azeotropes.

  • Experimental Setup for Determining Ammonia-Salt Adsorption And
    Experimental setup for determining ammonia-salt adsorption and desorption behaviour under typical heat pump conditions: a description of the setup and experimental results Michel van der Pal Robert de Boer Jakobert Veldhuis Simon Smeding This paper will be presented at the ISHPC conference 2011, April 5-7 2011, Padua, Italy ECN-M--11-030 MARCH 2011 EXPERIMENTAL SETUP FOR DETERMINING AMMONIA- SALT ADSORPTION AND DESORPTION BEHAVIOR UNDER TYPICAL HEAT PUMP CONDITIONS: A DESCRIPTION OF THE SETUP AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Michel van der Pala, Robert de Boera, Jakobert Veldhuisa, Simon Smedinga a Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), P.O. Box 1, 1755 ZG, Petten, [email protected] ABSTRACT Heat-driven heat pumps based on the principle of chemisorption have been researched worldwide. Such research typically focuses either on fundamental materials properties such as sorption isotherms, thermal conductivity and heat of sorption, or on the development and performance of complete systems. Also at ECN the research shows this typical pattern with publications on the fundamental thermodynamic properties on ammonia reactions of lithium chloride and magnesium chloride (Bevers et al., 2006; Bevers et al., 2007) together with results on complete systems (Haije et al., 2007; van der Pal et al., 2009). However, when trying to connect the material properties to the system’s performance, for example by using model calculations, various uncertainties on heat exchanger/sorption reactor level remain. These uncertainties, such as reaction kinetics, heat and mass transfer limitations for given specific geometries and conditions but also effects due to repeated sorption, pose a considerable problem for further development, improvement and scaling up of the system.

Therefore, the separation of lithium(I) from these solutions by solvent extraction was reviewed in this paper. Lithium ions in brines are concentrated by removing other metal salts by crystallization with solar evaporation. In the case of ores and secondary resources, roasting followed by acid/alkaline leaching is generally employed to dissolve the lithium. Since the compositions of brines, alkaline and acid solutions are different, different commercial extractants are employed to separate and recover lithium. The selective extraction of Li(I) over other metals from brines or alkaline solutions is accomplished using acidic extractants, their mixture with neutral extractants, and neutral extractants mixed with chelating extractants in the presence of ferric chloride (FeCl3). Among these systems, tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP)- methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK)-FeCl3 and tri-n-octyl phosphine oxide (TOPO)- benzoyltrifluoroacetone (HBTA) are considered to be promising for the selective extraction and recovery of Li(I) from brines and alkaline solutions.
