DIFFUSION TRANSPORT MEMBRANES

Diffusion Transport Membranes (DTM) are developed by the University of Twente. They can be used to separate CO₂ only, or both H₂O and water. Within NanoGLOWA, hollow fibres have been developed that have sufficient thermal, mechanical and chemical resistance. Hollow fibres have a very high packing density (m²/m³) which makes them very suitable for CO₂ capturing membrane separation processes. A picture of a hollow fibre (left) and the selective layer (right) can be seen below.

For more detailed information about Diffusion Transport Membranes, please contact Dr. Kity Nijmeijer at the University of Twente.

The Diffusion Transport Membranes have been used in the Parker Module.
