“…Due to the higher CTA content of these membranes, the peak at ~399.5 eV is clearly observed even in dry samples, with the water-equilibrated samples contributing more nitrogen. Consequently, the XPS analysis performed with water-equilibrated samples of different PIMs demonstrates a certain loss of the ILs used for membrane fabrication, in agreement with reported results obtained from weight loss measurements [35,36], but also the modifications of the PIMs associated with water contact, which depend on both the IL and the polymer.…”

“…Possible PIM modifications depending on the type of IL, the concentration, and the contact with water were investigated using SEM. It is significant to note the importance of IL content on the mechanical stability and manageability of PIMs, since brittle samples are obtained when low IL content is used (less than 20%, approximately), but the plasticity Consequently, the XPS analysis performed with water-equilibrated samples of different PIMs demonstrates a certain loss of the ILs used for membrane fabrication, in agreement with reported results obtained from weight loss measurements [35,36], but also the modifications of the PIMs associated with water contact, which depend on both the IL and the polymer.…”

Surface characterization of polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) using the polymers cellulose triacetate and polyvinyl chloride, containing different ionic liquids (ILs) as carriers, has been performed. Three different ILs have been tested: commercial trioctyl methylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336–AlqCl−) and two derivatives bearing the counter anion NO3− or SCN− (AlqNO3 and AlqSCN, respectively). Surface analysis was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for both dry membranes and PIMs immersed for 4 days in ultrapure water to investigate the effect of the interaction of water with the membrane’s morphology and composition. XPS analysis of the PIMs revealed that immersion in ultrapure water causes a decrease in the atomic concentration percentage (A.C.%) of the specific IL atoms (Cl, S, and N) when compared with dry samples. Moreover, SEM images of the PIMs containing the IL AlqNO3 showed an alteration in the morphology of the membrane due to water contact at surface level, whereas no changes were observed at a bulk level. These changes in the surface composition of the water equilibrated PIMs may be associated with the solubilization of the IL in the water solution, which, therefore, may affect the reactivity of the membrane’s surface. To better understand this effect, PIMs containing both AlqCl and AlqNO3 as carriers were used for arsenic (V) transport. It was found that AlqCl was the most effective IL and that the effectivity of the PIM on As(V) removal was not affected after five cycles of the membrane’s reuse.

“…It is important to bear in mind that PIMs can lose part of the IL incorporated in the polymeric network when membranes are immersed in distilled water or aqueous electrolyte solutions [22,23]. This mass loss is associated with both the nature of the IL and the polymer.…”

Electrochemical Characterization of a Polymer Inclusion Membrane Made of Cellulose Triacetate and Aliquat 336 and Its Application to Sulfonamides Separation

An electrochemical characterization of a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) fabricated with the ionic liquid (IL) Aliquat 336 (26%) and the polymer cellulose triacetate (CTA) (76%) is presented. Considering the use of PIMs in separation systems to remove pollutants from water, the characterization was performed with NaCl solutions by measuring membrane potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and salt diffusion and results were compared with those obtained from dry membranes. Results showed a significant reduction in the membrane diffusive permeability and electrical conductivity as well as the transport number of cation Na + across the PIM when compared with solution values, which could be mainly related to the dense character of the membrane. Membrane application in the separation of different sulfonamides (sulfathiazole, sulfapyridine, sulfamethazine, and sulfamethoxazole) from water, with 1 M NaCl solution as striping phase, was also considered. These results indicated that the different chemical characteristics of the compounds, as well as the compact structure of the PIM, limited the transport of the organic molecules though it.

“…It should also be considered that the permeability values depend on the method used for the immobilization of the ionic liquid on the supporting material. SILMs usually allow high permeability values, however, their stability is lower compared with polymer inclusion membranes, where the ionic liquids are trapped in the polymer matrix, as in this case [23]. The stability of the membranes is usually a critical factor for large-scale applications of membrane technology.…”

On the Selective Transport of Nutrients through Polymer Inclusion Membranes Based on Ionic Liquids

In the last few years, the use of ionic liquid-based membranes has gained importance in a wide variety of separation processes due to the unique properties of ionic liquids. The aim of this work is to analyze the transport of nutrients through polymer inclusion membranes based on different concentrations of methyltrioctylammonium chloride, in order to broaden the application range of these kinds of membranes. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) and sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4) nutrients were used at the concentration of 1 g·L−1 in the feeding phase. The evolution of the concentration in the receiving phase over time (168 h) was monitored and the experimental data fitted to a diffusion-solution transport model. The results show very low permeation values for CaCl2. By contrast, in the case of Na2HPO4 the permeation values were higher and increase as the amount of ionic liquid in the membrane also increases. The surface of the membranes was characterized before and after being used in the separation process by scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) and elemental mapping analysis. The SEM–EDX images show that the polymer inclusion membranes studied are stable to aqueous solution contacting phases and therefore, they might be used for the selective transport of nutrients in separation processes.
