Ion-exchange membrane with ph-dependent imidazole groups for separation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918990B2) discloses a porous ion-exchange membrane with unique properties. The membrane comprises imidazole ion-exchange groups on its surfaces, with charges that are pH-dependent. Specifically, the imidazole ion-exchange groups exhibit a positive charge at a pH below 5.2 and a negative charge at a pH above 5.2. These groups are grafted onto a polymer porous ion-exchange membrane through exposure to ultraviolet radiation, enhancing the membrane's functionality.
Furthermore, the membrane described in the patent has specific characteristics such as a porosity ranging from 20 to 95 percent (volume), a thickness between 5 to 300 microns, and pores with an average size between 0.2 to 10 microns. The polymer porous ion-exchange membrane can be made from various polymers including polyolefin, polypropylene, polysulfone, polyvinylidenefluoride, cellulose acetate, nylon, or polytetrafluoroethylene. Additionally, the membrane can also be composed of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, providing versatility in its applications.
