Characterization of Ultrafiltration Membranes

Preparation, Characterization and Application Studies of PVDF- PS Ultrafiltration Membranes

Polyvinyledenefluoride–polystyrene (PVDF/PS) blend ultrafiltration membranes were prepared using phase inversion technique. Casting solutions were prepared with different compositions of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polystyrene (PS) both in the presence and absence of the additive, polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) using dimethylacetamide as solvent. The effects of compositions of PS and concentr...

Preparation and characterization of MWCNT-COOH/PVC ultrafiltration membranes to use in water treatment

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes containing pristine and modified multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were prepared and characterized. MWCNT was modified in order to achieve well-dispersion within the membranes. The results of FTIR analysis revealed that MWCNT was successfully carboxylated. The FESEM images indicated that the number of pores on the surface of membranes increased at the presence...

Ultrafiltration through Collodion Membranes

It is obvious that the factors considered in this paper render data obtained by ultrafiltration open to criticism unless they are checked by other methods and precautions are taken for the elimination of the vitiating effects which have been described. As regards the mechanism of ultrafiltration, the view of a sieve-like action as most experimental evidence indicates, is adequate, if all the fa...

Characteristics of Collodion Membranes for Ultrafiltration

An apparatus for the production of graded collodion membranes is described. The theoretical considerations of calibration are discussed in relation to the demonstrable structure and statistical characteristics of the membranes. A new definition of an "end-point" is suggested.
