Selectivity

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have to be efficiently controlled due to environmental, economic and social demands. An interesting approach for SO2 and CO2 separation/concentration is the use of supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs). Ionic liquids (ILs) are very interesti

The aim of the present work is to establish a systematic approach in the range of characterization of commercial nanofiltration (NF) and low pressure reverse osmosis (LPRO) membranes materials for a better help to the users. We developed two sorts of characterizations: (i) first physico-chemicals in

Zeolites are known for their uniform pore size and are therefore suitable as membrane materials for the separation of different kind of molecules. The selectivity of these zeolite membranes is determined by the size of these molecules and by the diffusion and adsorption processes. These processes ar

In this study, experiments were carried out to estimate sorptivity of chitosan beads and their selectivity towards Cu2+ (copper sulfate), Zn2+ (zinc sulfate) and Cr6+ (potassium dichromate) ions. Studies were performed in the concentration range from 20 to 500 mg/dm3 for single ions and their binary

The organic ion exchangers (Dowex HCR-S, Dowex 50WX-2) and inorganic ion exchangers with phosphate functional groups (zirconium phosphates ZrP-1, ZrP-2) were studied as transport media for ion-exchange-assisted electrodialysis of diluted solutions containing Cu (II) ions. The ion-exchange and electr

Ion-size recognition of three trivalent metal ions (Fe(III), Al(III), Cr(III)) with 3-phenyl-4-acyl-5-isoxazolones derivatives has been studied by the liquid-liquid extraction method. The diffusion of the corresponding complexes with Fe(III) in supported liquid membrane (SLM) system has been evaluat

Apart from their stability in various operating conditions, the two main properties of ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) are the conductivity and selectivity, but both are difficult to obtain simultaneously at high values. This presentation deals with different ways of measurements, including specific c

In this work, a series of fluorine-containing aromatic polyamide membranes were prepared by direct polycondensation of 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene-dibenzoic acid with various aromatic diamines, and the associated gas transport and sorption properties were investigated. The properties of the prepar

Well-equilibrated molecular packing models have been produced for seven different polyimides. For all packings the transport properties (solubility and diffusion coefficient) have been calculated for nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide using the Gusev-Suter method. Comparison with experimental data
