ABSTRACT

Our recent experiments have proved the effectiveness of non-Newtonian conversion of the membrane in emulsion liquid membrane separation processes, with regard to simultaneously enhanced stability, retained - or improved - permeability, and reduced swelling. These findings for Type 1 (non-carrier) systems are now extended here to two new solutes with a variety of membrane formulations to demonstrate the generality of this approach. There are grounds for optimism in the proposed extension of this new procedure to Type 2 (carrier-containing) membranes, despite their unique stability problems.
