This paper reports the efficiency of polymer membranes without and with small amount of commercial plant extract involved in removal of nickel ions from synthetically wastewater using a mini-electrodialysis cell. The membranes were obtained by phase inversion technique at room temperature. The structure of the resulting membranes was investigated through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy and Environmental Scanning Electron (ESEM) microscopy. FTIR spectra show that the peak at 2325 cm?1 shifted to ...

permanent concern of the researchers regarding the environment protection and the improvement of life quality in order to sustain the society development is orientated to viable solution for reducing the global warming. The main contributor to this negative phenomenon is represented by the carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas results in various processes, such as fossil fuels combustion or as a by-product from bio-hydrogen production. Also, the carbon dioxide is one of the main contaminants of natural gas and usually it...
