Solvent drying is an important process used in many industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food production. It is the method used to remove water or moisture from a solvent. Dry solvents are important because even a small amount of water can affect the results of chemical reactions and product quality.
At i3nanotec, we work on helping industries handle this process in a better and more efficient way. We specialize in advanced membrane technology to support various separation needs, including solvent drying, solvent recovery, and more.
Why Solvent Drying Matters
Solvents like ethanol, methanol, acetone, and others are used in many chemical and industrial processes. These solvents can absorb water from the air, especially if they are stored or used in open spaces. When water is mixed in, the purity of the solvent goes down, which can lead to low-quality products or failed chemical reactions.
That’s why removing this water is so important. This is where solvent drying steps in. It helps in removing the water content and brings back the solvent to its pure form.
How i3nanotec Helps with Solvent Drying
i3nanotec uses advanced membrane technology to carry out solvent drying. One of the key solutions we use is called Pervaporation. This process works by passing a solvent mixture through a special membrane. The membrane allows only certain parts of the mixture, like water, to pass through. The result is a dried solvent that is ready to be reused.
Our membranes, including ZEOLITE MEMBRANE systems, are made with materials that can withstand harsh chemical environments and still give high performance. These membranes are strong, long-lasting, and very good at removing even small amounts of water from solvents.
More Than Just Drying: Other Services at i3nanotec
In addition to solvent drying, we also focus on other important services:
-
Solvent Recovery: After using a solvent, instead of throwing it away, it can be cleaned and used again. Our technology helps recover solvents with high purity, which saves costs and reduces waste.
-
Ethanol Dehydration: Ethanol is widely used in labs, fuel, and hand sanitizers. But pure ethanol is hard to keep since it attracts water easily. We help in removing this water using membrane-based systems.
-
Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN): This method is used to separate and purify organic solvents. It works well with large molecules and is useful in industries like pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
-
Peptide Purification: Peptides are small chains of amino acids used in drug development. We provide support in the purification of peptides through advanced filtration processes, ensuring high-quality end products.
