Funded Activity Summary

Development of ultrastable high flux hydrophobic pervaporation membranes for organic separations. Perfluorinated glassy polymers (Teflons AF) as membrane materials are endowed with unique fluxes and excellent stability when in contact with various liquid organic mixtures. However, they have never been explored as membrane materials for pervaporation. The aims of this project are therefore to evaluate the applicability of composite membranes based on amorphous Teflons AF to the separation of organic mixtures and the removal of organic pollutants from water. The outcomes of this project will be the development of novel environmentally friendly processes in the petrochemical and biotechnology industries as well as ecologically efficient methods of waste water treatment.
