A Review on the Use and Stability of Supported Liquid Membranes in the Pervaporation Process

When plasmonics meets membrane technology

“…Pervaporation represents one of the most exciting areas in membrane science and technology [77][78][79][80]. In pervaporation, permeation through the membrane from a liquid feed mixture into a vapor phase is combined with evaporation [81,82]. To establish a partial pressure gradient across the membrane, usu ally vacuum or inert sweep gas is applied at the permeate side; additionally, a temperature difference between the liquid phase and the permeate is generally established to enhance the vapor pressure p v , according to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:…”

Ionic liquids supported by isoporous membranes for CO2/N2 gas separation applications

“…Amines suffer from a number of drawbacks such as their sensitivity towards oxidative degradation ("poisoning"), the tendency to form nitrous amines and very importantly their volatility leading to material losses [8]. Oftentimes the membrane lifetime is compromised by the liquid amine being squeezed out of the pore or washed out by liquefied penetrants [9,10].…”

“…dye sensitized solar cells. Of particular interest is their application in membrane processes for efficient separation of solid, liquid or gaseous substances [9,11,12]. An outstanding CO 2 solubility relative to nitrogen [13][14][15] can be achieved by optimal choice of the counterion containing nitrogen, phosphorus or boron as central atom.…”

Synthesis of the novel symmetric buckypaper supported ionic liquid membrane for the dehydration of ethylene glycol by pervaporation

“…The emergence of using SLMs is attractive due to the lower mass transfer resistances demonstrated in the liquid membrane [7]. Briefly, SLM consists of a liquid membrane that is immobilised into a porous support.…”
