摘要：

Separation of asphaltenes from three types of Iranian crude oils of different asphaltene contents, using asymmetric, ceramic monolith membranes with the pore sizes of 0.2 mu m and 50 nm was investigated. The experiments were conducted in a batch filtration unit at a differential pressure of 200 kPa and a temperature of 120 degrees C. Two important operating parameters including flux of permeate and asphaltene rejection were monitored as a function of time. A decline in the flux of permeate and an increase in the asphaltene rejection occurred as a result of fouling the membrane. The flux of permeate did not exhibit a strong function of pore size and this phenomenon confirmed that fouling of the membrane was according to the formation of gel layer. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
