Patent number: 5207902Abstract: A apparatus for separating water by pervaporation from a liquid mixture comprising isopropanol and water, which comprises (a) heating the liquid mixture, then supplying the heated mixture to a pervaporation membrane module unit using a polyimide-type separating membrane to conduct separation of the liquid mixture, recycling a part or whole of the liquid not permeated through the membrane to a feed liquid mixture, supplying a fresh feed liquid mixture to an optional place in the circulation route, and withdrawing the liquid mixture from an optional place in the circulation route, (b) controlling the amount of the liquid to be recycled among the liquid not permeated through the membrane to a level of at least 10 times by volume the amount of the fresh feed liquid mixture, and (c) controlling the difference between the liquid temperature at the inlet of the membrane module unit and the liquid temperature at the outlet of the membrane module unit to a level of at most 20.degree. C.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1992Date of Patent: May 4, 1993Assignees: Ryoka Techno Engineering & Construction Co., Mitsubishi Kasei CorporationInventor: Furuto Seiryo

Patent number: 5064539Abstract: In a method using a chromatographic separation apparatus consisting of plurality of unit packed beds each having a supply inlet/extraction outlet, wherein the apparatus is effectively divided into four zones; an adsorption zone, a refining zone, a desorption zone, and a concentration zone. A supply and extraction step is performed in which all of the fluid flowing out of the adsorption zone is extracted through the nonadsorbate fluid extraction outlet, and then a recycle step, in which no fluid is supplied to or extracted from the bed, is performed to move the concentration distributions in the bed to a desired position. As a result, the method requires fewer unit beds, and enables extraction of components of higher purity.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1990Date of Patent: November 12, 1991Assignee: Ryoka Techno Engineering & Construction Co.Inventors: Masatake Tanimura, Masao Tamura, Takashi Teshima
