Carbon dioxide was absorbed into water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion composed of aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) droplets as a dispersed phase and benzene solutions of polybutene and polyisobutylene as a continuous phase in a flat-stirred vessel to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian rheological behavior on the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$, where the reaction between $CO_2$ and AMP in the aqueous phase was assumed to be a pseudo-first-order reaction. It was expressed that PIB with elastic property made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerated by comparison of mass transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ in the non-Newtonian liquid with that in the Newtonian liquid.

Membranes which selectively transport specific metals on an industrial scale is much useful in a number of applications, such as aqueous stream purification, catalyst and recycling of the reactants, the applications in metal ion sensing and so forth. Numerous studies have been already made to use liquid, supported liquid and, emulsion liquid membranes (LM) for selective carriers for metal ion transport. (omitted)

We investigated the separation of nitrogen heterocyclic compound (NHC) contained in a model coal tar fraction comprising four kinds of NHC [indole (In), quinoline (Q), iso-quinoline (iQ), quinaldine (Qu)], three kinds of bicyclic aromatic compound (BAC) [1-methylnaphthalene (1MN), 2-methylnaphthalene (2MN), dimethylnaphthalene (DMN) mixture with ten structural isomers (DMNs; regarded as one component)], biphenyl (Bp) and phenyl ether (Pe) by liquid membrane permeation (LMP). A batch-stirred tank was used as the permeation unit. An aqueous solution of saponin and n-hexane were used as the liquid membrane and the outer oil phase, respectively. Yield and selectivity of individual NHC was much larger than that of BAC, Bp and Pe. Increasing the initial mass fraction of the saponin to the membrane solution ($C_{sap,0}$) and the initial volume fraction of O/W emulsion to total liquid in a stirred tank (${\phi}_{OW,0}$) resulted in deteriorating the yield of individual NHC, but increasing the stirring speed (N) resulted in improving the yield of each NHC. With increasing $C_{sap,0}$, the selectivity of each NHC based on DMNs increased. Increasing ${\phi}_{OW,0}$ and N resulted in decreasing the selectivity of individual NHC based on DMNs. At an experimental condition fixed, the sequence of the yield and selectivity in reference to DMNs for each NHC was Q > Qu = iQ > In. Furthermore, we compared LPM method with methanol extraction method in view of the separation efficiency (yield, selectivity) of NHC.

In this study we investigate a laboratory scale vacuum membrane distillation system to produce pure water from model oil in water emulsion. Experimental determination of liquid entry pressure (LEP) of a commercial Durapore$^{TM}$ GVPH flat sheet membrane using model emulsions in various oil concentrations has been carried out. Two different methods of liquid entry pressure determination - a frequently used, so-called static and a novel dynamic method - have been investigated. In case of static method, LEP value was found to be 2.3 bar. No significant effect of oil content on LEP was detected up to 3200 ppm. In contrast, LEP values determined with dynamic method showed strong dependence on the oil concentration of the feed and decreased from 2.0 bar to a spontaneous wetting at 0.2 bar in the range 0-250 ppm, respectively. Vacuum membrane distillation tests were also performed. The separation performance is evaluated in terms of flux behavior, total organic carbon removal and droplet size distribution of the feed and final retentate. No significant effect of oil content on the flux was found ($5.05{\pm}0.31kgm^{-2}h^{-1}$) up to 250 ppm, where a spontaneous wetting occurred. High separation performance was achieved along with the increasing oil concentration between 93.4-97.0%.

본 연구는 수용상에 포함된 중금속이온중 에멀젼 액막법(Emulsion Liquid Membranes, ELM)을 이용하여 납이온을 제거시키기 위한 연구이다. 지금까지 수용액상의 중금속 이온의 제거는 전통적으로 이온 침전법을 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 이 방법은 스럿지 처리문제가 남아 있고 식수로 이용되는 수처리에는 식수기준 만족도 때문데 적합하지 않았다. ELM법에 의한 금속이온 제거처리는 전기도금에 의하여 중금속이온을 회수할 수 있고 고도의 수처리를 가능케하여 최근 많은 관심을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 납 이온 추출제로서 D2EPHA와 Alamine336의 이온교환제를 사용하여, 이 씨스테므이 추출 평형자료를 구하고 pH, 추출제의 농도, 교반속도, 에멀젼비율등에 의한 추출효과등을 검토하였다. 또한 2단계 추출 방법을 사용하여 금속이온추출에서 가장 큰 문제점인 유기상 용액의 leakage를 해결하고자 하였다.

Hemicellulosic hydrolysates contain not only sugars but also several kinds of ethanol fermentation inhibitory substances such as carboxylic acids, furans and phenolic compounds. In this work, emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) was chosen as a separation technology to remove the inhibitors. A basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate was composed of xylose as sugar, dilute sulfuric acid solution as solvent, and acetic acid as carboxylic acid, and furfural as furan derivative or p-hydroxybenzoic acid(HBA) as phenolic compound was added to the hydrolysate when necessary. Acetic acid and HBA as weak acid could be selectively removed from the hydrolysates in all the ELM systems considered here, but furfural as aldehyde was quite hard to remove. Also, when HBA was added to the basic simulated hemicellulosic hydrolysate, both of acetic acid and HBA in the feed phase could be selectively removed up to 99% in an ELM system with tributyl phosphate as extractant.

This study is concerned with the treatment of landfill leachate by carrier meditated emulsion. Using the batch operation, the optimum conditions for the removal of anionic and cationic materials were obtained. The landfill leachate from the plant was experimented under these conditions. The experimental variables were surfactant (Arlacel80) concentration and carrier(Aiquat336, DEHPA) concentration in membrane phase and counter ion concentration in internal phase. More than 80%(COD) of landfill leachate component could be removed within 12 minutes. The most crucial experimental variable for the removal efficiency was carrier concentration in membrane phase. In the other variables, the reaction time was more effected than the removal efficiency.

The transport of chromium(VI) ion from waste water through the liquid surfactant membrane containing tri-n-octylamine as a carrier, was analyzed by a slab model and was investigated through experiments. For the experiment of membrane stability, concentrations of surfactant and liquid paraffin oil were analyzed. Extraction experiments were carried out to observe the effect of system variables, such as concentrations of carrier, and initial chromium(VI) ion in external aqueous phase at $25^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that the most stable formation of liquid membrane emulsion was obtained when surfactant concentration is above 3 wt.% and liquid paraffin oil concentration is 50 vol.%. The theoretical equation on the transport of chromium(VI) ion agreed well with the experimental results.

The preferential transport phenomena of neutral cation-anion moieties in neutral macrocycle-facilitated emulsion liquid membrane were described in this study. Emulsion membrane systems consisting of (1) aqueous source phase containing 0.001M $M(NO_3)_2$ (M = $Mn^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$) (2) a toluene membrane containing 0.02M ligand (DB$N_3O_2$, DB18C6) and the surfactant span 80 (sorbitan mono oleate) (3% v/v) and (3) aqueous receiving phase containing $Na_2S_2O_3$ or $NaNO_3$ were studied with respect to the disappearence of metal ions from the source phase as a function of time. Cation transport rates for various two component equimolar mixture of metal ions were determinded. $Cd^{2+}$ was transported higher rates than the other $M^{2+}$ in the mixture solution.

In this study, dimethyl silicone oil and liquid paraffin were combined and subsequently emulsified; the resulting mixture was innovatively incorporated into desulfurized gypsum to resolve its drawback of a poor water resistance. The waterproof mechanism of the composite emulsion and liquid paraffin emulsion with mass fractions of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4% were investigated. The effect of the desulfurized gypsum on the waterproof performance and basic mechanical properties were also investigated. The configuration of the composite waterproofing agent was characterized by FTIR and ¹HNMR. The results showed that, compared with the traditional liquid paraffin emulsion-based waterproofing agent, the softening coefficient of the silicone oil paraffin composite emulsion-based water-repellent agent was increased by 60% and attained a value of 0.89. Combined with the waterproof mechanism and microscope morphology analysis of gypsum hydration products, the improvement in the water resistance of water resistance was primarily attributed to the formation of a silicone hydrophobic membrane between the crystals of the gypsum block; this ensured that water could not penetrate the crystal.
