Transport of dilute organics through dense membranes: Assessing impact on membrane-solute interactions
Abstract(#br)Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes were synthesised by varying the degree of crosslinking and were characterised in a pervaporation system coupled to a mass spectrometry (MS) for on-line monitoring and collecting data points with an interval of 2\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003es. This monitoring approach allows obtaining very precise information about the impact of solutes’ solubilisation within the membrane and their influence on solvent permeation.
