Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) is a potential low-cost candidate to replace fluorine-based Nafion membranes in some redox flow batteries (RFBs). In this work, the ionic conductivity of SPEEK increased almost fourfold by conducting well-controlled irreversible swelling membrane. Atomic Force Microscopy images and small-angle X-ray Scattering curves effectively demonstrate that size hydrophilic nanochannels swollen can be precisely tuned simply varying solvent concentration. The...
Porous ion-selective membranes are promising alternatives for the expensive perfluorosulfonic acid in redox flow batteries. In this work, novel non-ionic porous polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene designed iron-lead single-flow The prepared using a multiple template approach, involving simultaneously polyethylene glycol and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as pore-forming templates. Their structure is finely tuned by adjusting ratio of two As result, dual-porous bearing both macro micropores...
An ultrathin and robust organic solvent cation exchange membrane (CEM) was successfully fabricated for the first time using dissolved Kevlar aramid nanofibers as casting solution 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (ABS) negatively charged functional group <italic>via</italic> an amide condensation reaction ion separation.
This work explores the application of Reverse Osmosis (RO) upcycled membranes, as Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) in Donnan Dialysis (DD) and related processes, such Ion Membrane Bioreactor (IEMB), for removal nitrate from contaminated water, to meet drinking water standards. Such membranes might be manufactured at a lower price than commercial AEMs, while their utilization reinforces commitment circular economy transition. In an effort gain better understanding confocal µ-Raman spectroscopy...
The present work shows a methodology for the preparation of membranes with high affinity nitrates. For this purpose, polymeric mixture containing an anion exchange resin was extended on recycled pressure filtration membrane used as mechanical support. Different ion resins were tested. influence in fractionation (i) type resin, (ii) use support and (iii) operating current density during separation process studied. Results revealed that employed could tune up transport numbers anions enhance...
One of the alternative sources to tackle problem water shortage is use reclaimed from wastewater treatment plants for irrigation purposes. However, when has a high conductivity value, it becomes unusable crop and needs more specific treatment. In this work, recycled nanofiltration (rNF) membranes anion-exchange (rAEMs) obtained end-of-life RO were validated evaluate their application capability in saline The may represent an advantage due lower cost reduced environmental impact associated...
