| Abstract: | In this study, we proposed in-situ complex(ISC) membrane as a new type of PIC. We adapted simple acid/base reaction to invent the ISC membrane and applied to the dehydration of pyridine aqueous solution. ISC forms from the interaction of pyridine in feed and acid moiety in membrane and enhances the water transport through the membrane because of its hydrophilic nature. We compared the separation results by using ISC concept with those of non-ISC membranes and investigated the effect of the concentration of acid moiety in the membrane on the dehydration of pyridine/water mixture. |
