Imperial university: ultra-thin polyamide breakthrough discovery of nanometer 'membrane' imperial university: ultra-thin polyamide breakthrough discovery of nanometer 'membrane'

livingston group ( 利文斯顿) Researchers published the new insights of membrane technology, research and development for the future and paved the way for industrial applications.
ultra-thin polyamide nanometer filter, also known as a film, is a kind of very thin filter, supported by polyamide membrane and the layer of two parts.
nanoscale filters is an important part of the process of water purification, such as desalination, filter material and manufacture of clean drinking water. Although has been used for decades in the industry, but few people study their properties and functions. At imperial college London livingston group recently published in the journal of Advanced Materials, Advanced Materials, published an article focuses on the problem.


to improve industrial water desalination process based on BP international centre for advanced materials ( 英国石油公司, ICAM) Funding ( Paid for $100 million) New research, its are studying the basis of membrane science, to improve the efficiency of the nearshore area water desalination process, reduce energy use in the oil and to improve the efficiency of the whole process.
usually, oil and gas industry in the offshore drilling platform using nanometer filter to remove salt from seawater, so can be low salinity water is pumped into the reservoir to extract oil reserves. Studies show that compared with saline, use of low salinity water can increase output, and oil and gas industry also began to improve desalination process.
bp ( 英国石油公司(BP) Senior process engineer, Dale Williams explained: 'for our upstream business, we need to use a lot of water to ensure that the oil and gas production. Usually used in the water is the water of the sea, so must to deal with water to the injection Wells. If the joint to remove most of the salt solution, which can wash away from the rock surface more oil. '
BP - , deputy director of ICAM Sheetal Handa added: 'this film gives us a chance to get the water of the sea and get the need of low salinity water, can not only recycle more oil, also can maximize our operating efficiency. But the premise is that we must truly understand the basic composition and working principle of polyamide membrane, currently professor of BP - livingston group ICAM research is in order to solve this problem, and timely send the information to the BP.
