What is it about?

This study used multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in electro‐membrane extraction (EME) studies under direct constant current for the first time for the electro transport of cypermethrin (CYP) from aqueous to acceptor phase. This study presents a potential solution for the limited use of electro‐membrane extraction at higher current values. Electro‐membrane extraction studies have gained a new perspective and innovation by the use of MWCNTs in electro‐membrane process.

Why is it important?

This study aimed to increase the mechanical stability and electrical conductivity of MWCNT/EME membranes and make new generation of electro membranes available in the near future. Use of MWCNT demonstrated the increasing reproducibility, extraction performance, electrical conductivity, durability and mechanical strength of the electro membrane. EME studies have gained a new perspective and innovation by use of MWCNT in an electro‐membrane process which is the novelty of this study.

Perspectives

I believe this foundation will shed light for further electro‐membrane studies to have a better understanding of the membrane's conductivity effect on the transport process and limited use of EME at higher current values.
