Abstract :
This work aims the simulation and the assembling of a pack of nanofiber membranes and testing them for sample pretreatment in environmental samples. Fibers were electrospun using PAN and several distinct particles in order to form a pack of membranes with different purposes. This pack was tested in two different setups. It was observed behaviors of microreactor, preconcentrator, separator, etc. CFD simulations show good agreement with the obtained results.
