Egg Shell Membranes for Chiral Separation.

Chitin Nanofiber Membranes for Chiral Separation

Nanofiber membranes for chiral separation were prepared from chitin, which is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide. The membrane showed chiral separation ability by adopting concentration gradient as a driving force for membrane transport. In other words, the chitin nanofiber membrane selectively transported the D-isomer of glutamic acid (Glu), phenylalanine (Phe), and lysine (Lys) fr...

Chiral Separation in Preparative Scale: A Brief Overview of Membranes as Tools for Enantiomeric Separation

Given the importance of chirality in the biological response, regulators, industries and researchers require chiral compounds in their enantiomeric pure form. Therefore, the approach to separate enantiomers in preparative scale needs to be fast, easy to operate, low cost and allow obtaining the enantiomers at high level of optical purity. A variety of methodologies to separate enantiomers in pr...

Development of Palladium-Alloy Membranes for Hydrogen Separation and Purification

This paper summarizes R&D activities and progress at NORAM Engineering and the University of British Columbia (UBC) on preparation and testing of thin palladium-based membranes and their applications. Most of these activities were carried out internally at NORAM, some jointly with UBC and their spin-off company, Membrane Reactor Technology (MRT) through a wide range of projects. Key results out...

Poincaré charges for chiral membranes

Using basic ideas of simplectic geometry, we find the covariant canonically conjugate variables, the commutation relations and the Poincaré charges for chiral superconducting membranes (with null currents ), as well as, we find the stress tensor for the theory under study.
