Transport abilities of new synthesised membrane materials incorporating tetrapyrazolic tripods

Abstract

The synthesis of new membrane materials was carried out by photopolymerisation of formulation that contain the active tetrapyrazolic tripods monomers spread on a polyacrylonitrile support. The obtained membrane films were applied for their facilitated transport and extraction power towards Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II). We have determined both the diffusion flux F of different cations and the selectivity S of the prepared membranes towards each cations.
