[ 1 ] - Feasibility of Polysulfone as Base Polymer in a Polymer Inclusion Membrane: Synthesis and Characterisation

Polysulfone was investigated as an alternative base-polymer for polymer inclusion membranes (PIM’s) that could withstand harsh environmental conditions and have good transport efficiency of metal ions. PIM’s were prepared using polysulfone as a base polymer and Aliquat 336 as a carrier in the absence of a plasticizer. Chromium (VI) was used as standard to study the extraction efficiency of the ...
