Membranes in Poland

Membrane Materials and Processes Laboratory

(dr hab. Aleksandra Wolińska-Grabczyk, prof. PAN)

The research is focused on new membrane materials for gas separation, vapor permeation, and pervaporation. The main applications pertain to capture of greenhouse gases (CO₂, SF₆, VOC), removal of VOC from water, and separating azeotropic or close-boiling mixtures. The major areas of the research cover:

• development of pure polymer materials, including systems based on commercially available polymers, as well as newly synthesized or modified polymers,

• development of heterogeneous systems composed of polymer matrix and different fillers (zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, silica),

• determination of structure and physical properties of new materials, and their transport characteristics (measurements using laboratory units for GS, VP, PV),

• development of fundamental knowledge; determination of structure-transport properties relationships.
