Abstract
A process involving mass transfer between two fluid cavities through the nnels of a microchannel plate (MCP). The mass transfer process may involve separation of organic chemicals like petrochemicals, vegetable oils, inorganic chemicals like steam stripping of bromine from aqueouspotassium chloride/potassium bromide, corrosive as well as sepration of hazardous gases. The MCP structures may have an electric field or electromagnetic field across the MCP to create synergestic mass transfer separation potential either to increase or decrease separations. Blood filtering as well as other biomedical separations are possible by this synergestic mass transfer. Catalytic depositions within the channels of the MCPs, either as wall coatings with the channels open or as solid porous catalytic material that has osmosis action thereacross further enhances chemical reactions during the separation process or during passage through the channels. This procedure can also be used for gas clean-up, such as combustor discharges.
