Scamehorn, J F; Christian, S D

Research on ultrafiltration continued. Progress is briefly reported in four basic categories: systematic studies of the phenomenon of solubilization of organics in micelles and the mechanism of removal of organics from aqueous streams, using micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF); systematic studies and the development of theoretical models for the binding of ions by micelles and polyelectrolytes; development and demonstration of four new related separation processes for removing ions from water: ligand-modified micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (LM-MEUF), polyelectrolyte-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF), ion-explusion ultrafiltration (IEUF), and a combined surfactant-polyelectrolyte ultrafiltration process; and investigation of downstream processing of the effluent streams from all five of the UF separation processes.
