nanoHUB.org online simulations and more The chemical and biomedical fields have a constant demand for solutions of greater purity. Current filtration methods (zeolites) do not offer uniform pore size, and are susceptible to fouling. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have the potential to be custom designed for optimal molecular filtration. The Need for Filtration

nanoHUB.org online simulations and more Summary Ytube1 shows no tendency for filtration. There is evidence of size-based diffusion in the methane systems. Ytube2 shows no similar behavior. The isobutane + methane systems exhibit fouling. This is attributed to the steric interactions of the isobutane molecule with the junction area, and is not due to a potential energy well. Prior to the formation of the block, filtration occurred in ytube2. There is neither fouling nor filtration in the n-butane + methane systems. Once the driving force is sufficient, the n-butane aligns itself to pass easily down both arms.

nanoHUB.org online simulations and more Background Computational Methods System Design Results Conclusions Outline

nanoHUB.org online simulations and more Conclusions Y-shaped carbon nanotubes exhibit promising signs of filtration. However, they tend to clog due to molecular steric interactions. Linear molecules (n-butane) avoid fouling, but prevent filtration. System redesign with these factors in mind is needed.
