Studies on cellulose acetate poly ether imide and sulfonated poly ether imide blend ultrafiltration membranes

Abstract

Membrane filtration is an attractive separation process as it is newlineusually performed under gentle conditions Membrane processes have been newlineapplied in various types of industries such as the separation concentration and newlinepurification in food technology biotechnology and petrochemical processes newlineas well as water and wastewater treatment Membrane based separation newlineprocesses offer many advantages over conventional separation processes such newlineas low operating cost due to less energy intensive ease of operation under newlineambient temperature no phase change is involved Membrane separation newlinetechnology in its modern incarnation is energy efficient and highly adaptive newlinefor a wide range of applications starting from the development of new newlinepolymers or modifications of the existing polymers as membrane material newline newline
