Filtration via membranes is one of the simplest and therefore most widely used separation techniques in real world applications. In addition to simply understanding the largest pore size present (known as the bubble point), controlling the pore sizedistribution of the through pores allows for more specific design of transport properties. The use of analytical instruments like acapillary expulsion porometer will describe the ultimate sizes of the “through pores” in membranes to understand particulate rejectionperformance
. A sense of the pore volume, typically characterized with the use of a three-dimensional technique such as mercury intrusion, is also important to the structural integrity and mechanical properties of the final membrane. Understanding these characteristics is crucial in the development of systems intended to remove particulate materials of specified size ranges. This webinar will provide an introductoryoverview of the role that pore size plays in the filtration process and how capillary expulsion porometry and mercury intrusion techniques are used to describe the pore structure of membranes.
