Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are
limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer …

Recent interest in developing high performance polymeric membranes has evolved the
molecular transport performance in gas separation and pervaporation. The synthesis of …

Chitin and chitosan are considerably versatile and promising biomaterials. The deacetylated
chitin derivative chitosan is a useful and interesting bioactive polymer. Despite its …

Membrane-based systems clearly give a proper solution to the ever-increasing demand for
clean water and energy. Polymeric membranes are still employed in energy, filtration, and a …

A majority of the papers on pervaporation published in the Journal of Membrane Science
(JMS) report results as raw data; that is, as fluxes (Ji) and separation factors (βij). These …

The Handbook of Membrane Separations: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnological
Applications provides detailed information on membrane separation technologies as they …

This review aims at summarizing the main research carried out up to 2007 in hydrophilic
pervaporation. Both polymeric and inorganic membranes are examined and the dehydration …

Two kinds of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (two-dimensional ZIF-L nanosheets and zero-
dimensional ZIF-8 nanoparticles) with the same building blocks were synthesized. Both the …

The esterification reaction is reversible and has low yield. In order to increase the yield of
reaction, it is required to simultaneously remove the product of reaction. For this membranes …

In this study, highly water-selective hybrid membranes with superior water/ethanol
separation performance were fabricated by incorporating gC 3 N 4 nanosheets (CNs) into …
