AMIN ENGARNEVIS is an academic who published a paper in 2018 entitled Characterization of Fouling with Hygroscopic and Non-hygroscopic Aerosols in Composite Polymer Membr. AMIN ENGARNEVIS published this work as part of a team: Engarnevis, Amin. Here is a description of this work: Composite membranes using a thin vapor-permeable polymer layer over a structural substrate are used in gas dehydration, food-packaging, and humidity control of indoor spaces. The impact of exposure to air pollution on the water vapor permeability and selectivity is investigated to develop an understating of potential air-side particulate fouling mechanisms and resulted performance degradation during membrane lifetime in the field. Samples of commercial membrane media were loaded with hygroscopic NaCl, and non-hygroscopic spark-generated graphite (SGG) aerosol particles. The effects of particle charge distribution and number concentration, air flowrate, temperature-gradient across membrane (Thermophoresis), and membrane surface on the rate of particle deposition were investigated using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS). It was found that partic.
