Abstract:Polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) have gained significant attention in the field of metal separation and recovery due to their high selectivity, long service life, high stability, flexible design and low cost. Over the past 10 years, interest around PIMs has increased considerably; hence, the number of research papers has grown exponentially. This review provides the preparation methods and composition of PIMs, presents an overview of studies on PIMs reported since 2012, and discusses the relationship between… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
