The Isolation of Organic Compounds using Organophilic Pervaporation Membranes
Organophilic membranes provide a method of recovering organic compounds by pervaporation, which exploits the selective transport of the organic phase. The main application is in the extraction of bio-alcohols from aqueous solution. The effect of membrane composition on performance in transporting alcohols and not water at improved rates is the focus of this review. In th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Vapor Deposition Techniques for Membrane Pore Size Modification
The suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. A feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), naturally, form asymmetric na...
متن کاملUndulating Charged Fluid Membranes and their Bending Constants
We consider harmonically undulating ionic surfactant membranes, calculating a general expression for the bending modulus valid for all salt and surfactant concentrations, and surface charge densities. This is achieved through a perturbative expansion of the meanfield electrostatic potential and free energy about a planar reference state, consisting of two parallel planar membranes with interven...
متن کاملPolyester/SiO2 Nanocomposites: Gas Permeation, Mechanical, Thermal and Morphological Study of Membranes
Using of nanocomposite membranes composed of polymer and inorganic nanoparticles is a novel method to enhance gas separation performance. In this study, membranes were fabricated from polyester (PE) containing silica (SiO2) nanoparticles and gas permeation properties of the resulting membranes were investigated. Morphology of the membranes, SiO2 distribution a...
متن کاملWater Absorption of Chitosan, Collagen and Chitosan/Collagen Blend Membranes Exposed to Gamma-ray Irradiation
TThis study investigated the water absorption of chitosan, collagen, and chitosan/collagen blend membranes exposed to gamma-ray irradiation. These membranes were produced via the solvent evaporation method. All membranes then underwent irradiation at 15 or 25 kGy gamma-ray doses, while membranes without irradiation were used as controls. After immersing the membranes in distilled water for up t...
متن کاملNovel PVA/La2Ce2O7 hybrid nanocomposite membranes for application in proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are electrochemical devices that show the highest power densities compared to the other type of fuel cell. In this work, nanocomposite membranes used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells as poly(vinyl alcohol)/La2Ce2O7 (PVA-LC) with the aim of increasing the water uptake and proton conductivity. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as cross linking agent ...
