membrane assisted liquid extraction(male) technologies are gaining an important role as an extraction /separation technique for actinides and are being deployed as a  promising tool for remediation of nuclear waste generated in the reprocessing plant and other radioactive wastes containing a trace level of radionuclides. the present contribution outlines the classification of membrane assisted ...

in this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (nmp) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. the morphology of fabricated membranes...

When a liquid is confined in a narrow gap (as near a cell membrane, in a lubricated contact between solids, or in a porous medium), new dynamic behavior emerges. The effective shear viscosity is enhanced compared to the bulk, relaxation times are prolonged, and nonlinear responses set in at lower shear rates. These effects are more prominent, the thinner the liquid film. They appear to be the m...

In the liquid liquid extraction (LLE) the extraction of rhodamine B (RB) from aqueous solutions by using 0.8M phenol in xylene was studied. The influencing parameters such as the effect of pH of the aqueous phase, the effect of extractant concentration, the effect of diluents and the stripping reagents has been investigated. The maximum extraction efficiency was obtained at pH 1±0.1 and the max...

Porous surface modified polyvinylidene ï‌‚uoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes are fabricated through a dry-wet phased inversion process. Surface modifying macromolecules (SMM) (1 wt. %) are used as additives in the spinning dope. The performance of the surface modified membrane in contactor application for CO2 stripping from water is assessed through the fabricated gas–liquid membrane contacto...
