The present invention relates to methods and devices for exchanging gas molecules between a gaseous medium and a liquid medium which are particularly suited for applications such as blood oxygenation in heart-lung machines and gas scrubbing.
The method of the invention comprises the following steps:
a) providing a liquid medium having a surface tension in the range of from 0.02 N/m to 0.06 N/m,
b) providing a gaseous medium,
c) providing a membrane on an interface between the liquid
medium and the gaseous medium, wherein the membrane comprises
i) a carrier substrate with through-going openings having a mean diameter in the range from 0.2 µm to 200 µm, and ii) a porous superamphiphobic coating layer with openings having a mean diameter in the range from 0.1 µm to 10 µm, which is provided at least on the substrate surface facing the liquid medium,
wherein either the liquid medium or the gaseous medium, preferably the gaseous medium, comprises at least one target gas to be transferred and said membrane is permeable for the at least one gas to be transferred and not permeable for the liquid medium due to the superamphiphobic properties of the membrane surface facing the liquid medium with respect to said liquid medium,
d) contacting the gaseous medium with the liquid medium via said superamphiphobic layer for a sufficient time to enrich the liquid or gaseous target medium with the at least one gas to be transferred.
本发明涉及在气态介质和液态介质之间交换气体分子的方法和装置,特别适用于心肺机的血液充氧和气体洗涤等应用。
本发明的方法包括以下步骤:
a) 提供表面张力在 0.02 N/m 至 0.06 N/m 之间的液体介质、
b) 提供气体介质、
c) 在液体介质和气体介质之间的界面上提供一层膜
其中膜包括
i) 载体基板,其上的通孔的平均直径在 0.2 微米至 200 微米之间;以及 ii) 多孔超疏涂层层,其上的通孔的平均直径在 0.1 微米至 10 微米之间,该涂层层至少设置在面向液体介质的基板表面上、
其中,液体介质或气体介质(最好是气体介质)包括至少一种待传输的目标气体,由于面向液体介质的膜表面相对于所述液体介质的超疏性能,所述膜对至少一种待传输气体具有渗透性,而对液体介质不具有渗透性、
d) 通过所述超疏层使气体介质与液体介质接触足够长的时间,使液体或气体目标介质富含至少一种待传输气体。
