Ferrimagnetic Membranes for Separation of Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic Species
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2011
Abstract
For using as separative membranes based on magnetic selectivity, nanoporous ferrimagnetic membranes of maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) and cobalt ferrite (Fe2CoO4) were prepared by the sol-gel route from ferrofluid colloidal solutions. Their magnetic properties were examined by superconductor quantum interference device (SQUID), and their structures and porous textures were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses. O2-N2 adsorption and air separation experiments were carried out in order to evidence magnetic interactions in static and dynamic conditions, respectively. A small effect of an external magnetic field on the selectivity of these membranes was observed.
