Development of tuneable polyamine top layer for nanofiltration with high stability in bleach and at extreme pHs KU Leuven
State-of-the-art membranes for nanofiltration are thin film composite membranes, comprising of a thin top layer on top of a porous support. Many separation processes in organic chemistry involve extreme conditions, e.g. aggressive solvents, solvent-water mixtures or extreme pH, e.g. in acid mine drainage or in Cleaningin-Place cycles. However, the most commonly used thin film composite membranes are polyamides, typically prepared by reaction of ...

Stability of Filled PDMS Pervaporation Membranes in Bio-Ethanol Recovery from a Real Fermentation Broth KU Leuven
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have shown great potential in pervaporation (PV). As for many novel membrane materials however, lab-scale testing often involves synthetic feed solutions composed of mixed pure components, overlooking the possibly complex interactions and effects caused by the numerous other components in a real PV feed. This work studies the performance of MMMs with two different types of fillers, a core-shell material consisting ...
