The structural characteristics of membrane support directly affect the performance of carrier facilitated transport membrane. A highly porous PolyHIPE impregnated with Aliquat 336 is proposed for Cr(VI) separation. PolyHIPE consisting of poly(styrene-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate) copolymer crosslinked with divinylbenzene has the pore structure characteristic of large pore spaces interconnected with...

Polymeric membrane-based-Styrofoam waste in the form of a thin sheet was successfully prepared by phase-inversion technique different final solidification treatments, namely, immersion and evaporation. This study aims to identify effects processes on membrane properties such as hydrophobicity, pore configuration, porosity, temperature stability. Characterization carried out using contact angle,...
