ABSTRACT
A novel fiber supported solid membrane was
prepared by chemical modification of cellulose fiber
with tartaric acid, 8-hydroxyquinoline and
magnesium carbonate for removal of bicarbonate ion.
Loading effect of tartaric acid, magnesium metal ion
and 8-hydroxyquinoline over cellulose fiber was
studied for removal of carbonate ion. The selective
removal of carbonate, sulfate, phosphate, and nitrate
ions through fiber supported solid membrane was
investigated. The removal of carbonate ion
with/without bubbling of CO2 was determined in
source and receiving phases.
