Poly propylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane with an average pore size of 0.22 μm was used to purify the dusty gas. Effects of operating conditions such as dust concentration
gas flow rate
the filling ratio of membrane module
membrane thickness on the performances of membrane module dust removal were investigated systematically. The results showed that membrane permeability had no obvious change with the concentration of dust in the gas
while rejection coefficient of dust removal increased with an increase in dust concentration
and decreased with an increase in gas flow rate. Both the membrane permeability and rejection coefficient increased with increase in membrane thickness
and decreased with the increase in filling ratio. The rejection coefficient of PP membrane could reach up to 99.9%. When the size of dust is above 0.3 μm
