Accessible Silver-Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as a Nanomaterial for Supported Liquid Membranes.

The present study introduces the process performances of nitrophenols pertraction using new liquid supported membranes under the action of a magnetic field. The membrane system is based on the dispersion of silver-iron oxide nanoparticles in n-alcohols supported on hollow microporous polypropylene fibers. The iron oxide-silver nanoparticles are obtained directly through cyclic voltammetry electrolysis run in the presence of soluble silver complexes ([AgCl]; [Ag(SO)]; [Ag(NH)]) and using pure iron electrodes.

Control of Nanostructured Polysulfone Membrane Preparation by Phase Inversion Method.

The preparation of membranes from polymer solutions by the phase inversion method, the immersion-precipitation technique has proved since the beginning of obtaining technological membranes the most versatile and simple possibility to create polymeric membrane nanostructures. Classically, the phase inversion technique involves four essential steps: Preparation of a polymer solution in the desired solvent, the formation of the polymer solution film on a flat support, the immersion of the film in a coagulation bath containing polymer solvents, and membrane conditioning. All phase inversion stages are important for the prepared membrane's nanostructure and have been studied in detail for more than six decades.
