    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper describes the facilitated transport of Cr(VI) through a novel Activated Composite Membrane (ACM) containing Cyanex 923 as a carrier. The ACM was prepared by immobilization of the Cyanex 923 on a polysulfone support by means of Interfacial Polymerisation. The prepared ACM was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques and contact angle measurements. The effect of feed phase composition, carrier concentration of the casting solution and stripping phase composition on the transport of Cr(VI) was investigated. When the feed phase contained 1 × 10 −3  M Cr(VI) at pH 1.0, 99% of Cr(VI) was transported through the ACM (prepared with 3% carrier solution) by using 1 M NaOH as a stripping phase. Furthermore, Cr(VI) was preferably transported in the presence of various metal ions (i.e., Cr(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), etc.) and sulphate and nitrate ions had no negative effect on the transport of Cr(VI). The results also showed that transport efficiency of the ACM was reproducible and it could be efficiently used in the long-term separation processes instead of supported liquid membrane (SLM).

  • facilitated transport of cr iii through activated composite membrane containing di 2 ethylhexyl phosphoric acid dehpa as carrier agent
    Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2009
    Co-Authors: Gulsin Arslan, Yunus Cengeloglu, Mustafa Ersoz
    Abstract:

    Abstract The facilitated transport of chromium(III) through activated composite membrane (ACM) containing di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) was investigated. DEHPA was immobilised by Interfacial Polymerisation on polysulfone layer which was deposited on non-woven fabric by using spin coater. Then, ACM was characterised by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Initially, batch experiments of liquid–liquid distribution of Cr(III) and the extractant (DEHPA) were carried out to determine the appropriate pH of the feed phase and the results showed that maximum extraction of Cr(III) was achieved at a pH of 4. It was also found that Cr(III) and DEHPA reacted in 1/1 molar ratio. The effects of Cr(III) (in feed phase), HCl (in stripping phase) and DEHPA (in ACM) concentrations were investigated. DEHPA concentration varies from 0.1 to 1.0 M and it was determined that the transport of Cr(III) increased with the carrier concentration up to 0.8 M. It was also observed that the transport of Cr(III) through the ACM tended to increase with Cr(III) and HCl concentrations. The stability of ACM was also confirmed with replicate experiments.

  • thin film composite membrane on a compacted woven backing fabric for pressure assisted osmosis
    Desalination, 2017
    Co-Authors: Soleyman Sahebi, Sherub Phuntsho, Leonard D Tijing, Ahmed Abdelwahab, Ho Kyong Shon
    Abstract:

    Abstract The water flux in forward osmosis (FO) process declines substantially when the draw solution (DS) concentration reaches closer to the point of osmotic equilibrium with the feed solution (FS). Using external hydraulic pressure alongside the osmotic driving force in the pressure assisted osmosis (PAO) has been found effective in terms of enhancing water flux and even potentially diluting the DS beyond osmotic equilibrium. The net gain in water flux due to the applied pressure in the PAO process closely depends on the permeability of the FO membrane. The commercial flat sheet cellulose triacetate (CTA) FO membrane has low water permeability and hence the effective gain in water flux in the PAO process is low. In this study, a high performance thin film composite membrane was developed especially for the PAO process through casting polyethersulfone (PES) polymer solution on a compacted woven fabric mesh support followed by Interfacial Polymerisation for polyamide active layer. This PAO membrane possesses a water flux of 37 L m2 h− 1 using 0.5 M NaCl as DS and deionised water as the feed at an applied hydraulic pressure of 10 bar. Besides, the membrane was able to endure the external hydraulic pressure required for the PAO process owing to the embedded backing fabric support. While the membranes with low structural parameters are essential for higher water flux, this study shows that for PAO process, polymeric membranes with larger structural parameters may not be suitable for PAO. They generally resulted in compaction and poor mechanical strength to withstand hydraulic pressure.
