Modification and application of cellulose fibers for the transport of carbonate ions

The chemical modification of cellulose fiber with tartaric acid, 1,10-phenanthroline and magnesium salt has been done. The metal organic frame work chemically attached to polymer fiber is used to explore the transport of carbonate ions. The different parameters such as loading effect of tartaric acid, magnesium metal ion and 1,10- phenanthroline (0–2.5 mmol/g range) over cellulose fiber was studied for the transport of carbonate ions. The transport of carbonate, sulfate and nitrate ions through modified cellulose fibers (fiber-supported solid membrane) was investigated in the molar concentration. In order to check the adsorptive reactive transport of CO2, the transport of carbonate ions with/without bubbling of CO2 (0–10 mL/min) in the source phase was explored in the receiving phase.
