Bond-graph description and simulation of membrane processes: hybrid membrane extraction

Abstract

The bond-graph method was applied to study the hybrid membrane extraction, which occurs in the system with an ion-exchange polymer membrane placed between an aqueous and organic liquid phase. The numerical calculations were carried out to describe the time evolution of the transport systems as dependent on initial conditions for pH and the aqueous solution concentration as well as the carrier concentration in a liquid membrane. The results of the numerical calculations were compared with the experimental results.
