Solvent Effect (NMP and DCM) on Morphology and C02/CH4 Separation Performance of Asymmetric Polysulfone Membranes.

Performance of a membrane is strongly influenced by the morphology ofthe membrane itself. The choice ofthe solvent used is very critical process. The objectives of this project is to study the effect of solvents which are DCM (dichloromethane) and NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) in membrane preparatio...
