Physicho and electrochemical characterization of PVC incorporated ZP composite membrane and their important parameters through applying TMS equation
Journal Title: Materials Science: Advanced Composite Materials - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The synthetic organic-inorganic composite membranes have enormous applications in the field of filtration and purification processes. The newly synthesized PVC (polyvinyl chloride) incorporated ZP (zinc phosphate) composite membrane is used as a barrier for the transportation of some strong electrolyte solutions like KCl, NaCl and LiCl. The composite material which used to make the membrane was qualitatively synthesized by sol-gel method of material synthesis. To characterize the structural and thermal properties of membrane there are different techniques like FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA, SEM-EDX, LCR have been used. By characterizations it is clear that the material has crystalline nature, thermally stable and no breakages or cracks are found on membrane the surface. The electrochemical observation was done by potentiometer, which shows that the membrane is cation selective. To determine the charge density of membrane Teorell-Meyer-Sievers method is used. The observed potential and charge density of the incubated membrane follows KCl<NaCl<LiCl and KCl>NaCl>LiCl order respectively. The other important parameters like transport number, mobility ratio, charge effectiveness are also calculated by observed potential values.
