This research work investigates the effect of polyurethane polymer on the separation of CO2, CH4 and C3H8 through a zeolite/polyurethane mixed matrix membrane. A methodology based on the modification of porous ceramic inorganic support with the aim t... Read More about Novel zeolite-polyurethane membrane for environmental applications and gas separations..

Resin characterization and tubular membrane transport with single gases for ethyl lactate separations for industrial purposes. (2015)
Journal Article
OKON, E., SHEHU, H., NWOGU, N., KAJAMA, M., ORAKWE, I. and GOBINA, E. 2015. Resin characterization and tubular membrane transport with single gases for ethyl lactate separations for industrial purposes. Journal of materials science and chemical engineering [online], 3(9), pages 8-14. Available from: https://doi.org/10.4236/msce.2015.39002

The dip-coating method has been used to prepare silica membrane. The gas flow rate relationship with the gauge pressure showed a Knudsen type of mechanism of gas transport. The flux was found to decrease with respect to temperature indicating non-act...
