Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of Copper by Liquid Membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, important variables governing the permeation of copper ion through liquid membranes and their effects on the separation process are described, including membrane viscosity, treatment ratio, complexing agent concentration, internal droplet size, internal phase leakage, and copper concentration in the internal phase.

Liquid membrane process for the separation of aqueous mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, a process for the removal of dissolved species from aqueous solutions, which comprises contacting said aiquous solution with an emulsion, is described, where an ion exchange compound is incorporated in the exterior phase of the emulsion to promote the permeation of said ions through the interior phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separations of organic compounds by liquid membrane processes
Robert P Cahn,Norman N. Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss liquid membrane permeation through unsupported liquid films, especially those present when an emulsion of two liquids is dispersed in the form of relatively coarse drops in a third liquid into which permeation is allowed to occur from within the drops.
Patent
Semi-permeable membrane extraction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the removal of isobutylene from a mixture of C4 alkanes and alkenes using 60-65% sulphuric acid in the barrier and hexane as the re-extractant.
Patent
Thermal energy storage and utilization system
TL;DR: The power output from a nuclear power plant or fossil fuel power plant operating under constant reactor (or furnace) and boiler conditions is varied by regulating the rate of turbine extraction steam and primary high pressure steam used to heat boiler feed water (BFW) as mentioned in this paper.
