Separation of organic vapors from the air

This area of research is focused on the study of the transport and separation properties of polymer and composite membranes for the capture of organic vapors from the air. We investigate the properties of the membranes under different inlet conditions, while the membranes are studied in long-term contact with organic substances since long-term stability is a key factor in the selection of a suitable material. Experiments are carried out on our own unique and fully automatic permeation apparatus, while our research covers the entire range of structurally different organic substances, which allows us to investigate different physicochemical models for describing the solubility of vapors, their transport, and interactions with polymers.
