in this work a new resistance model has been presented based on that of henis-tripodi which can be used for interpretation of gas permeation data in composite and asymmetric membranes. in contrast to the previous works, in this model the fraction of the support layer surface that includes the pores filled with coating material has been taken into account. the influences of the filled pores on s...

Integrally-skinned asymmetric Polyetherimide/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PEI/PVA) hollow fber membranes for pervaporation dehydration were fabricated by non-solvent induced phase inversion. PVA inside the PEI matrix could be crosslinked to provide membrane performance stability during long term operation. The effects of different PEI/PVA blend ratio, external coagulant type and...

it is several decades that the application of membrane processes for gas separation has become a great concern within industries. among them, the polymeric membranes of different structures have played the most important role. such application has been widely extended to gas separation and due to the necessity of both; prediction of the behavior of these processes and recognition of the effecti...

   In this study, effect of asymmetric functionalized graphene oxide (Janus GO) on Young′s modulus and glass transition temperature of Polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration membranes was investigated. The membranes were prepared via phase inversion method and GO nanosheets were dispersed in casting solution by sonication. Results showed that the Normalized Young’s modulus (on the basis of neat ...

This study is focused on fabrication and characterization of mixed matrix poly ether sulfone based nanofiltration membrane by phase inversion method. The effect of different amounts of Ilmenite (FeTiO3) particles as inorganic filler additive in the casting solution on physic-chemical characteristics of membranes was studied. Scanning electron microscopy, surface analysis, water content, contact...
