This set of Separation Processes Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Membrane Modules”.
1. What is a membrane module?
a) A membrane module is a representation of the type of pores in a membrane
b) A membrane module is a unit housing the membrane
c) A membrane is representation of an ideal membrane
d) A membrane module is representation of the concentration changes during separation
View Answer
Explanation: A membrane module is a unit housing the membrane and its arrangement.
2. What is the use of cross flow in plate and frame module?
a) Reduces fouling
b) Reduces loss
c) Reduces efficiency
d) Increases efficiency
View Answer
Explanation: Cross flow ensures that there is less fouling.

5. Which membrane module represents a spiral heat exchanger?
a) Plate and frame module
b) Spiral wound module
c) Hollow fibre module
d) No module exists
View Answer
Explanation: A spiral wound module represents a spiral heat exchanger.
6. What is the life spiral-wound module?
a) 2 months
b) 10years
c) 2-3 years
d) 5-9 years
View Answer
Explanation: The life of spiral wound module is 2-3 years.
7. What is the packing density of hollow-fibre module?
a) 200 ft2/ft3
b) 4000 ft2/ft3
c) 5000 ft2/ft3
d) 10000 ft2/ft3
View Answer
Explanation: The hollow fibre module has high packing density of about 10000ft2/ft3.
8. Why is there a chance of fouling in hollow fibre module?
a) Fibres form a bundle and there is little free space
b) High packing density
c) Narrow pores
d) Excessive density of membrane material
View Answer
Explanation: The hollow fibre membranes is sensitive to fouling as fibres form a bundle and there is little free space.

a) Spacers
b) Stop disk
c) Tie rod
d) Channel
View Answer
Explanation: The alternate feed and permeate regions in plate and frame modules are called as spacers.
