Separation process using synthetic membranes.

Interaction with Synthetic Membranes

The major carotenoid pigment of a psychrotrophic Micrococcus roseus strain was purified to homogeneity from methanol extracts of dried cells by reverse-phase liquid chromatography and was designated P-3. On the basis of the UV-visible, infrared, mass, and 'H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of P-3, it was identified as bisdehydro-,-carotene-2-carboxylic acid. The pigment interacted with synth...

Purified and Functionalized MWCNTs: Application In CO2/CH4 Separation Using Mixed Matrix Membranes

   To fabricate a defect free and high performance mixed matrix membrane (MMM), one approach is the functionalization of inorganic nanofillers (as dispersed phase) in the organic polymer matrix (as continuous phase) to modify the interactions between two phases.  For this purpose,, raw multi-walled carbon nanotubes (rMWCNTs) were purified by acid mixture (HNO3/H2SO<sub...

Separation and Reaction Using Porous and Palladium Membranes

Separation Based on Molecular Level Using Zeolitic Membranes

Introduction Much effort has been directed towards the development of advanced membrane-based separation technologies to facilitate the deployment of sustainability into industrial production processes. By supporting sustainable development through knowledge and creation of dissemination, innovation goals can be revisited and new targets can be set. Currently, an integrated approach towards sus...

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...
