ABSTRACT

Xe is only produced by cryogenic distillation of air, and its availability is limited by the extremely low abundance. Therefore, Xe recovery after usage is the only way to guarantee sufficient supply and broad application. Herein we demonstrate DD3R zeolite as a benchmark membrane material for CO2 /Xe separation. The CO2 permeance after an optimized membrane synthesis is one order magnitude higher than for conventional membranes and is less susceptible to water vapour. The overall membrane performance is dominated by diffusivity selectivity of CO2 over Xe in DD3R zeolite membranes, whereby rigidity of the zeolite structure plays a key role. For relevant anaesthetic composition (<5 % CO2 ) and condition (humid), CO2 permeance and CO2 /Xe selectivity stabilized at 2.0×10-8  mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 and 67, respectively, during long-term operation (>320 h). This endows DD3R zeolite membranes great potential for on-stream CO2 removal from the Xe-based closed-circuit anesthesia system. The large cost reduction of up to 4 orders of magnitude by membrane Xe-recycling (>99+%) allows the use of the precious Xe as anaesthetics gas a viable general option in surgery.

ABSTRACT

The article describes data concerning the separation performances of polymeric hollow-fiber membranes. The data were obtained using a model for simulating gas separation, described in the research article entitled "Interplay of inlet temperature and humidity on energy penalty for CO2 post-combustion capture: rigorous analysis and simulation of a single stage gas permeation process" (L. Giordano, D. Roizard, R. Bounaceur, E. Favre, 2016) [1]. The data were used to validate the model by comparison with literature results. Considering a membrane system based on feed compression only, data from the model proposed and that from literature were compared with respect to the molar composition of permeate stream, the membrane area and specific energy requirement, varying the feed pressure and the CO2 separation degree.

ABSTRACT

Con la hipótesis de que la disfunción endotelial primaria representa un factor de riesgo manejable para patologías asociadas a defectos de placentación, como el aborto recurrente y la preeclampsia, se estudiaron 13 mujeres con abortos recurrentes, 16 mujeres con antecedentes de preeclampsia severa precoz, y se compararon con 12 mujeres que cursaron embarazos normales. El 39 por ciento de las mujeres con abortos recurrentes y el 44 por ciento de las mujeres con preeclampsia previa presentó disfunción endotelial severa, comparado con el 0 por ciento en mujeres controles (Chi2). La suplementación oral de L-Arginina (0.1 g/kg/día), por 2 semanas a 10 mujeres que mantuvieron resistencia de arterias uterinas elevada en gestaciones tempranas en dos evaluaciones utrasonográficas se asoció a una normalización en el índice de resistencia (0,89 ñ 0,02 a 0,79 ñ 0,03, p < 0,05), mientras que las mujeres que recibieron placebo mantuvieron un índice de resistencia elevado (0,93 ñ 0,01 a 0,86 ñ 0,02, n.s.). El suplemento de L-Arginina administrado a partir de la décima semana de gestación a 12 mujeres con desórdenes previos relacionados con la placentación se asoció a un buen resultados reproductivo. Estos apoyan la hipótesis que la disfución endotelial severa es una condición de base prevalente en pacientes que presentan preeclampsia severa previa o abortos recurrentes. Además, sugiere que en estas pacientes un aumento en la vía L-Arginina-NO a través del suplemento de L-Arginina en gestaciones precoces, podría mejorar la función endotelial, la resistencia vascular de arterias uterinas y el resultado perinatal
