Stabilizing Of Liquid Membranes For Separation Processes Without Sacrificing Permeability By Non-newtonian Conversion Of The Membrane

Abstract

A method and a liquid membrane is disclosed, in a liquid membrane separation process, for enhancing the stability of the membrane without any significant loss in solute permeability rate through the membrane, by converting the membrane liquid to suitable non-Newtonian form by the addition of a high molecular weight polymer.
