Studies on Pervaporation Separation of Ethanol/Water Mixtures with Membranes of Polypropylene Sulfonate Salts

Sulfonated polypropylene membranes loaded with different kinds of counter-ions were prepared by heterogeneous chiorosulfonation reaction of polypropylene membrane followed by hydrolysis and ion-exchange reaction. The membranes obtained were used for selective separation of ethanol/water mixtures by pervaporation. The effects of counter-ion species, ion-exchange capacity, solution composition, thickness of membrane and temperature on the separation behavior of the membranes were investigated. Microstructure and morphology of the membranes were examined by X-ray and SEM as well.     

Metal counterion transport in donnan dialysis

A series of crosslinked cation-exchange membranes having graded levels of ion-exchange capacity were prepared by irradiation-induced grafting on polyethylene substrates. A kinetic model was proposed for the transport of metal counterions across the membrane in Donnan dialysis. The transport was found to be adequately described by an equation in which the rate is proportional to the metal concentration. Sulfonated styrene-grafted membranes were more effective than acrylic acid-grafted membranes in Donnan dialysis separation applications. The metal transport rate increased with increasing ion-exchange capacity of the membrane. The metal removal rates were essentially the same with sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, or sulfuric acid as the strip agent; however, the use of chelating trisodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate brought about higher rates of metal removal. The rate of metal transport across a membrane of low ion-exchange capacity and gel water content decreased with increasing size and valence of the metal cation. However, negligible effect was observed concerning the size and valence of a metal cation on the metal's transport across a membrane of high ion-exchange capacity and gel water content.     

Synthesis of polymer nanocomposite ion-exchange membranes from sulfonated polystyrene and study of their properties

Methods for the preparation of composite ion-exchange membranes from polymer (polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), and polypropylene (PP)) matrices were considered. Polystyrene (PS) was introduced in the matrices by thermal polymerization of the monomer followed by sulfonation of the implant. The fundamentals of membrane synthesis from industrial polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon F-4) films by thermal polymerization of styrene in a film stretched in a monomer solution followed by sulfonation of incorporated PS were described. The literature on radiation- chemical synthesis of composite ion-exchange membranes based on polymer matrices with embedded polystyrene and its subsequent sulfonation was analyzed. Some problems of the kinetics and mechanism of thermal implantation of PS into various polymer matrices under different conditions were discussed. The physicochemical characteristics, structure, and transport properties of the membranes synthesized by thermal implantation of PS were reported. The obtained membranes were tested in low-temperature fuel cells.     

Characterization of non-uniformly charged ion-exchange membranes prepared by plasma-induced graft polymerization

Cation-exchange membranes were prepared by plasma-induced grafting of sulfonated glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and porous polypropylene (PP) membranes. The chemical and physical structures of the prepared membranes were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and electron-probe micro-analyzing (EPMA). The membranes were also characterized in terms of their electrochemical properties. A non-uniform distribution of fixed charges across the membrane matrix was detected by EPMA analysis. This non-uniform distribution of the fixed charges is the result of using water as solvent for the monomer which led to a fast reaction on the membrane surface and a slow diffusion of the monomer into the pores of the membrane. The prepared membranes exhibited moderate ion-exchange capacities (2.53–3.30 mmol/g dry membrane) and electrical resistances (0.349–0.589 Ω cm²) and an ion permselectivity comparable to that of the commercial membrane CM-1 (Tokuyama Corp.), while the water content of the membranes was significantly higher than that of the commercial membrane. The higher water content of the membranes is the result of water occupying the pores in the bulk of the support membrane after the dense layers with fixed charges are formed on the membrane surfaces by the grafting reaction. The relatively high ion permselectivity in spite of the high water sorption of the membranes is the result of the high fixed charge density in the layers on the membrane surfaces. Current versus voltage curves and the chronopotentiometric measurements revealed that the sulfonated GMA-g-PP membranes can be operated effectively at high current density.     

Preparation and characterization of mono-valent ion selective polypyrrole composite ion-exchange membranes

Polypyrrole composite cation- and anion-exchange membranes (CEM and AEM), in which polypyrrole (PPY) coated on one surface of the membrane as a thin layer, were prepared by chemical polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of high oxidant concentration (Na₂S₂O₈). Existence of polypyrrole layer on the both types of ion-exchange membranes were confirmed by recording their coating density, SEM images and conductivity. These membranes were extensively characterized by recording their properties such as water uptake, ion-exchange capacity, contact angle, permselectivity and membrane conductivity as a function of polymerization time such as. It was observed that due to coating of PPY for 2 h, membrane permselectivity of CEM for NaCl (0.907) was reduced to 0.873, while it was increased from 0.747 to 0.889 in the case of AEM. Similar behaviors were also obtained for bi-valent electrolytes. Electrodialysis experiments were also conducted with polypyrrole composite ion-exchange membranes using mixed electrolytic systems. Relative dialytic rates for NaCl with respect to other bi-valent electrolyte were varied in between 5 and 8 (depending on bi-valent electrolyte), which suggested the feasible and efficient separation of mono-valent from bi-valent electrolyte. Slower electro-migration of bi-valent electrolyte (CaCl₂, MgCl₂ and CuCl₂) in comparison to NaCl was explained on the basis of synergetic effect of sieving of bulkier bi-valent cations by tight and rigid polypyrrole layer and the difference in electrostatic and hydrophobic–hydrophilic repulsion force between bi-valent cations and mono-valent cation. It was concluded that these composite membranes are suitable for the efficient separation of same type of charged ions by electro-driven separation techniques.     

Recent developments on ion-exchange membranes and electro-membrane processes

Rapid growth of chemical and biotechnology in diversified areas fuels the demand for the need of reliable green technologies for the down stream processes, which include separation, purification and isolation of the molecules. Ion-exchange membrane technologies are non-hazardous in nature and being widely used not only for separation and purification but their application also extended towards energy conversion devices, storage batteries and sensors etc. Now there is a quite demand for the ion-exchange membrane with better selectivities, less electrical resistance, high chemical, mechanical and thermal stability as well as good durability. A lot of work has been done for the development of these types of ion-exchange membranes during the past twenty-five years. Herein we have reviewed the preparation of various types of ion-exchange membranes, their characterization and applications for different electro-membrane processes. Primary attention has been given to the chemical route used for the membrane preparation. Several general reactions used for the preparation of ion-exchange membranes were described. Methodologies used for the characterization of these membranes and their applications were also reviewed for the benefit of readers, so that they can get all information about the ion-exchange membranes at one platform. Although there are large number of reports available regarding preparations and applications of ion-exchange membranes more emphasis were predicted for the usefulness of these membranes or processes for solving certain type of industrial or social problems. More efforts are needed to bring many products or processes to pilot scale and extent their applications.     

Novel ion-exchange spacer for improving electrodialysis II. Coated spacer

Ion-conducting spacers were prepared by applying an ion-exchange coating to commercially available polypropylene netting. Homogeneous and heterogeneous types of coating were used. Homogeneous anion-exchange coating consisted of bromomethylated and aminated polysulfone, homogeneous cation-exchange coating of sulfonated polysulfone. All heterogeneous coatings consisted of ground ion-exchange resin, embedded in crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol). All the coated spacers increased the rate of desalting of sodium chloride solutions, at concentrations of 20 mM or less. The effect increased with the ion-exchange capacity of the spacer per unit area. The spacers suppress polarization, leading to increased current efficiency and decreased cell resistance. As expected, largest decrease of cell resistance is obtained in dilute solutions, <3 mM. The clearest effect on efficiency was observed in ED with heterogeneous ion-exchange membranes, which are by themselves highly polarizing. Most experiments were carried out with anion-exchange spacers, minimizing the water splitting which takes place at the surface of the ion-exchange membrane. Introduction of an anion-exchange spacer near the heterogeneous anion-exchange membrane and a cation-exchange spacer near the heterogeneous cation-exchange membrane led to a dramatic increase in current efficiency.     

Comparative studies on electrochemical characterization of homogeneous and heterogeneous type of ion-exchange membranes

Interpolymer films of poly-ethylene and styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer were subjected to chlorosulfonation or chloromethylation then amination for the preparation of homogeneous type of cation- or anion-exchange membranes, respectively. Heterogeneous types of ion-exchange membranes were prepared from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as binder and ion-exchange resin powder in tetrahydrofuran solvent. Membrane potential and conductance measurements have been carried out in NaCl(aq), CuCl₂(aq) and AlCl₃(aq) solutions at different concentrations to investigate the relationship between concentration of fixed charges and electrochemical properties of these membranes. On the basis of the micro-heterogeneous model, describing the micro-structure of the membrane material, the counter-ion diffusion coefficients were estimated. Membrane conductance data, along with values of concentration of fixed ionic site in the membrane, were used for the estimation of the tortuosity factor and salt permeability employing non-equilibrium thermodynamic principles. It was concluded that electrochemical transport properties of homogeneous type of ion-exchange membranes are superior to those for heterogeneous type of ion-exchange membranes. However, both types of membranes are suitable for electrodriven separation of mono-, bi- and tri-valent electrolytes.     

Reformulating the permselectivity-conductivity tradeoff relation in ion-exchange membranes

Polymer membranes used in separation applications exhibit a tradeoff between permeability and selectivity. That is, membranes that are highly permeable tend to have low selectivity and vice versa. For ion-exchange membranes used in applications such as electrodialysis and reverse electrodialysis, this tradeoff is expressed in terms of membrane permselectivity (i.e., ability to selectively permeate counter-ions over co-ions) and ionic conductivity (i.e., ability to transport ions in the presence of an electric field). The use of membrane permselectivity and ionic conductivity to illustrate a tradeoff between counter-ion throughput and counter-ion/co-ion selectivity in ion-exchange membranes complicates the analysis since permselectivity depends on the properties of the external solution and ionic conductivity depends on the transport of all mobile ions within a membrane. Furthermore, the use of these parameters restricts the analysis to ion-exchange membranes used in applications in which counter-ion/co-ion selectivity is required. In this study, the permselectivity-conductivity tradeoff relation for ion-exchange membranes is reformulated in terms of ion concentrations and diffusion coefficients in the membrane. The reformulated framework enables a direct comparison between counter-ion throughput and counter-ion/co-ion selectivity and is general. The generalizability of the reformulated tradeoff relation is demonstrated for cation-exchange membranes used in vanadium redox flow batteries.     

Particle-loaded hollow-fiber membrane adsorbers for lysozyme separation

The separation of lysozyme (LZ), a valuable enzyme naturally present in chicken egg white, was carried out using a new type of ion exchange hollow-fiber membranes. Functionalities were incorporated into the polymeric membranes by dispersing ion-exchange resins (IERs) in a microporous structure formed by phase inversion. The obtained hollow-fibers were composed of ion-exchange particles surrounded by a polymeric matrix and possessed both high static and dynamic adsorption capacities of more than 60 mg/ml membrane. The hollow-fiber membrane adsorbers were connected in series with different numbers of fibers thereby increasing the effective thickness and the protein residence time within the module. By choosing appropriate operation conditions, the membranes adsorbed solely LZ from fresh chicken egg white (eventually also the minor component avidin), whereas the adsorption of ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, and other low isoelectric point proteins was negligible. An average separation factor for LZ of about 150 was calculated by numerical integration of the protein concentrations in the elution curve during the filtration run. The effect of the filtration flow rate, protein concentration and ionic strength on the membrane's performance was investigated to determine the optimum operation parameters.
