Abstract
Gas–liquid membrane contactor, which integrates the absorption process with membranes, is an emerging membrane technology that is of particular interest for acid gas absorption. Authors revies the recent development of membrane contactor technology.
They analyze key challenges being addressed for membrane contactor development, and discuss the state-of-the-art of highly hydrophobic microporous membranes, novel liquid absorbents and membrane module design and process simulation. They also summarize future opportunities for achieving breakthrough in membrane contactor that can lead to large-scale practical applications.
