Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions have been the root cause for anthropogenic climate change. Decarbonisation strategies, particularly carbon capture and storage (CCS) are crucial mitigating risk of global warming. Among all current CO separation technologies, membrane has biggest potential CCS as it is inexpensive, highly efficient, simple to operate. Polymeric membranes preferred choic...

Using combinatorial methods, we synthesized a series of new vinyl amide monomers and graft-polymerized them to light-sensitive poly(ether sulfone) (PES) porous films for protein resistance. To increase the discovery rate and statistical confidence, we developed high throughput surface modification methods (HTP) that allow synthesis, screening and selection of desirable monomers from a large lib...

A nano porous polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is widely used for aspects of nanofiltration, such as purification, fractionation and dialysis. However, the low-blood-compatibility characteristic of PES membrane causes platelets and blood cells to stick to the surface of the membrane and degrades ions diffusion through membrane, which further limits its application for dialysis systems. In this s...

In this study is presented the result obtained for treatment of waste water from medical sector using membrane filtration system. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were Dimethylformamide DMF like solvent, with different concentration to determine rejection variation dyes. Membranes by immersion precipitation method and permeation properties determined dead end technique. The results show that ca...

Hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes were prepared via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) by addition of polymeric additives as a membrane modifying agent. The effect of the addition of hydrophilic surfactant Pluronic F127, Polyivinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and Tetronic 1307 on the performance of the final PES hollow-fiber membrane was investigated. The morphology of fa...

Cellulose acetate (CA) is an attractive membrane polymer for CO2 capture market. However, its low permeability hampers application as part of a most relevant types containing feeds. This work investigates the enhancement CA separation performance by incorporating ionic liquid-like pendants (1-methylimidazol, 1-methylpyrrolidine, and 2-hydroxyethyldimethylamine (HEDMA) on backbone. These CA-base...

Abstract Research has been carried out on hydrophobic membranes based polyethersulfone (PES) polymers using Mg(OH) 2 additives. PES are made by blending additive because structurally bound OH groups play an important role. In addition, is also cheap and easy to obtain non-toxic. This study aims improve the performance of membranes, studying effect adding additives into membrane system which was...

The development of chemically and mechanically stable nanocomposite membranes with high permeability self-cleaning properties is important for various wastewater treatment applications. Two-dimensional MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanomaterials have attracted increasing research interest in applications, including membrane-based separation technologies treatment. Zwitterion functionalization has been widely...

The aim of this work was the fabrication and the characterization of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for arsenic (As) removal from water. Membrane separation was combined with an adsorption process by incorporating the kaolin (KT2) Algerian natural clay in polymeric membranes. The effects of casting solution composition was explored using different amounts of polyethersufone (PES) as a polymer, p...
