This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project involves development of fully inorganic nanofiltration (NF) membrane modules that combine the attributes of low cost, excellent chemical resistance in aggressive organic and aqueous media, high thermal stability, and high mechanical strength. The key objectives will be to develop NF membrane modules based on low-cost multi-channel honeycomb supports with 220 square cetimeter membrane area and to demonstrate they have NF retention capability, high productivity (flux rates), and resistance to aggressive organic and aqueous media. Preliminary work to fabricate analogous modules with 1200 square centimeter membrane area will be performed. The modules, when ultimately commercialized to very large size, will be especially suitable for in-process recycling of solvents used in a wide variety of applications and could replace distillation as a cost-effective purification method for solvents such as hexane and acetone that are used in very large quantities in edible oil processing. In addition, the products would have wide application in the chemical manufacturing, petrochemical, petroleum production, pharmaceutical, food processing, and water treatment industries.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目涉及开发全无机纳滤(NF)膜模块，该模块结合了低成本、在侵蚀性有机和水介质中具有优异的耐化学性、高热稳定性和高机械强度的属性。关键目标将是开发基于低成本多通道蜂窝支撑件的纳滤膜模块，该支撑件具有220平方天文计膜面积，并证明它们具有纳滤膜保留能力、高生产率(通量速率)以及对侵蚀性有机和水介质的抵抗力。将进行制造1200平方厘米薄膜面积的模拟模块的初步工作。当这些组件最终商业化到非常大的尺寸时，将特别适合于在各种应用中使用的溶剂的过程中回收，并可以取代蒸馏，成为一种具有成本效益的溶剂净化方法，例如在食用油加工中大量使用的己烷和丙酮。此外，该产品还将在化工制造、石化、石油生产、制药、食品加工、水处理等行业有广泛的应用。
