The permeation of gases through asymmetric cellulose acetate membranes.

Synthesis of Calcium Fluoride Ultrafine Particles for the Preparation of Integral Asymmetric Cellulose Acetate/Calcium Fluoride Membranes

The present work reports on the synthesis of cellulose acetate (CA) asymmetric membranes with the incorporation of inorganic fluorides, CaF2 particles. These fillers of polymeric composites can, according to the literature, promote the ordering of the polymer matrix, which can lead to interesting permeation properties. In order to achieve that, fluorite (CaF2 ) fine particles were prepared by a...

The Ultrafiltration Performance of Cellulose Acetate Asymmetric Membranes: A New Perspective on the Correlation with the Infrared Spectra

Integral asymmetric cellulose acetate (CA) membranes were casted by phase-inversion with formamide varying content - 22, 30 and 34% - as pore promoter. These membranes, CA-22, CA-30 and CA-34, were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflection mode (ATR-FTIR) to investigate the porous membrane matrix influence on the polymer/water/solute interactions and the selective ultrafi...

Cellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation

In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via non-solvent phase inversion technique (NIPS). Polymer concentration was varied from 22 to 25 wt% in order to study its effect on the membrane properties. The fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, water content, water p...
