In the 1980s and 1990s, the development of oxygen ion conductors for solid electrolytes, as well as mixed oxygen–electron conductors as electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells, brought scientists to envision a possibility of mixed-conducting oxygenpermeable ceramic membranes. Today this field is well established, and ceramic membranes are close to implementation in processes for oxygen extraction...

in the current research, polyvinylchloride based mixed matrix heterogeneous anion exchange membranes were prepared by a solution casting technique. titanium dioxide nanoparticles were also utilized as inorganic filler additive in the membrane fabrication. the effect of tio2 nanoparticles concentration in the casting solution on the membrane physico-chemical properties was studied. membrane wate...

traditional systems for olefin/paraffin separation, like low-temperature distillation, are expensive and very energy consuming, and therefore, alternative separation methods are desired. facilitated transport membranes are new tools for this separation to be substituted in large scale separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures. to design a membrane process for olefin-paraffin separation, equilibriu...

Polyvinylchloride (PVC) based heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. The effect of super activated carbon nanoparticles concentration as filler additive in membrane matrix on ionic transfer behaviors of the membrane was studied. SOM images showed uniform particles distribution and relatively uniform surfaces for the membranes. The membrane water...

Unprecedented perovskite oxyfluoride membranes, a new generation of mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes, feature extraordinary performance for low-temperature oxygen permeation, which transcend the performance of state-of-the-art MIEC membranes and fulfil commercial requirements. These results provide important progress for MIEC membranes and will potentially open the door to exp...

Recent research trends in the development of ion exchange membranes and their use in separation processes with chemical reactions are reviewed. Emphasis in research on the ion exchange membrane is trending toward analysis of micro-structure of the membranes and to development of new functionalized ion exchange membranes in response to industrial requirements. Separation processes with chemical ...
