Membrane reactor GAM II

continuouslaboratoryprocess

The Gas Addition Module II (GAM II) provides a safe and efficient means of performing gas-liquid reactions under continuous flow-through conditions and permits gas to be introduced “on demand” by diffusion through gas-permeable membrane tubing. This quickly creates a gas saturated solvent stream in typically less than 10 seconds. The Gas Addition Module is compatible with a wide range of reactive gases (e.g. CO, CO2, H2, D2, ethene, ethyne, SO2) and organic solvents (e.g. THF, MeCN, MeOH, PrOH) and is designed to be connected in-line with any FlowSyn continuous flow reactor. Its primary purpose is to provide a solvent feed stream pre-saturated with gas, but it can also be used at ambient temperature as a reactor in its own right. A length of gas-permeable DuPont AF2400 membrane tubing runs inside the full length of the coil reactor tubing containing the liquid phase in a ‘tube-in-tube’ arrangement. The gas and liquid phases cannot come into direct contact with each other at any point in the process. As the gas dissolved in the flowing liquid phase is consumed, more gas rapidly diffuses though the AF2400 tubing to replace it.
