Membrane Condenser (MC) is a novel membrane contactor operation recently investigated for the valorization of industrial waste gaseous streams. In particular, until now, it was applied for water recovery from flue gas, cooling tower plumes, etc. More recently, its effectiveness and flexibility in contaminants (such as, NH3 , HF, SO2 ) removal and control from waste gaseous streams was also prov...

Two novel hollow-fibre liquid–liquid membrane contactor (HF-LLMC) modules, containing S-type (skin layer with low porosity) and Q-type higher fibres, have been evaluated. Both asymmetric, porous, hydrophobic membranes, made from poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP), were used as efficient technology for ammonia recovery to produce liquid fertilisers. The ammonia-rich stream was fed into the shell sid...

this paper deals with the extraction of l-theanine containing aliquat 336 as a carrier and cyclohexane as solvent across bulk liquid membrane. the optimum operation condition are as follows: extraction time of 150 min, initial concentration of theanine in the feed phase is 1.8 g/l, the carrier concentration is 0.5 m, the ion of the receiving phase is 0.2 m nacl of na2hpo4-nah2po4 buffer solutio...

the kinetics of the potassium thiocyanate transport mediated by dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (l) through a bulk liquid membrane is studied experimentally and theoretically. the proposed model is based on the assumption of a pure diffusion of the complex salt [k·l]+scn¯ through the liquid membrane stagnant films at the interfaces. it illustrates the connection between liquid-liquid extraction equilib...

Laterally asymmetric vibrotactile stimuli produce anisotropic or direction-dependent friction force that function as a friction display system [1]. In this study, we showed that laterally symmetric vibrotactile stimuli increase friction perception by a similar principle. We measured the frictional forces between a sliding finger pad and a contactor laterally vibrating at 3 or 5 H. We found that...

The carrier facilitated transport of lithium picrate was studied using a series of non-cyclic polyethers containing different end groups and chain lengths through Bulk Liquid Membrane (BLM) and Supported Liquid Membrane (SLM) systems. The various membrane supports used are viz. PTFE, cellulose nitrate, and dialysis membrane and onion membrane. The amount of Li+ transported depends upon the stru...
