Nano membrane extractions

The membrane technology has been tested in microfluidic devices. Normally a membrane is mounted between two chips, which make a microchannel, and fluid is allowed to pass through the membrane channel. Some papers are available on this method, which are discussed here. Hisamoto et al. [61] reviewed the application of capillary assembled microchips on PDMS as an online

Up to now, most efforts have been directed towards the preparation of uniformly sized spherical MIP particles in the micrometre range. This is the obvious consequence of the need for this kind of materials as fillers for high-performance chromatographic columns, capillaries for electrophoresis, cartridges for solid-phase extractions and other applications requiring selective stationary phases. Additionally though, strategies for the preparation of other more sophisticated MIP forms, such as membranes, (nano)monoliths, films, micro- and nanostructured surfaces etc.

The structures of PL membranes are currently being elucidated. Surface analysis results have suggested the presence of networks of nano-sized channels filled with the liquid extractant and diluent. The small size of these channels explains the facts that PL... 

The stability of such aggregates was first pointed out by QELS experiments that reveal the absence of CMC [30]. This was confirmed by dialysis experiments through ultrathin latex membranes used to purify these nano-sized particles before their study by TEM, AFM and tribological experiments. Eor the dialysis experiment a Soxhlet apparatus (Figure 4.8) is used where the dispersion of overbased particles in mineral oil is introduced in a latex socket. Light petroleum is introduced in the boiler of the system as the extraction solvent (boiling point of 36 °C). 

UV-VIS extinction spectra were measitred with a Lambda 35 spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, USA). Particle size distribution, based on hydrodynamic diameter, was evaluated by Nano S (Malvern, UK), a dynamic light scattering analyzer (DLS). Urueacted metal cations, extracted from the sample by a semi-permeable osmotic membrane (Visking tube), were detected by ICP-AES qirantitative analysis (Liberty 200, Varian, Austraha) in order to determine the reaction yield. Suspensiorts were dropped and dried on a copper grid, then observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) (Tecnai F20) and by the STEM mode with microanalysis EDX.
