Chitin, which is obtained mainly from the cuticle of a marine crustacean, has recently aroused great interest in its industrial and biomedical applications. Chitosan, deacetylated form of chitin, appears to be more useful for biomedical application and dehydration of aqueous solutions than chitin, since it has both hydroxyl and amino groups that can be modified easily. Amino groups on chitosan reacts with dialdehyde to form a Schiff base and then crosslinked, and can be easily neutralized with sulfuric acid and metal ions. Polyfunctional metal ions can form a metal-polyelectrolyte complexes with chitosan. Membranes used in modules so far working in industrial pervaporation plants are generally of composite type. This composite membrane was prepared by coating a porous polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane support of definite structure with a thin, dense layer of permselective chitosan. To apply industrial scale pervaporation process for dehydration of aqueous ethanol and isopropanol, chitosan composite membranes were prepared and tested at various conditions.

The transport phenomena of alkali metal chlorides through poly(2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel membrane have been studied using electrodialysis. The hydrogel membranes were prepared by the polymerization of 2-hydroxvethyl methacrylate in the presence of 45%(V/V) H2O and ethyleneglycodimethacrylate. The initiator used in the polymerization was azobismethylisobutyrate (AMIB) prepared from azobisiobtyronitrile (AIBN) using Mortimer method. The permeability of alkali metal chlorides such LiCl, NaCl and KCI at 50 voltage was obtained. The permeability of NaCl was also observed at 30, 40, 50, and 60 voltages respectively. The concentration of solutes permeated through the membrane was measurer by flame photometry. The experimental results have been discussed with the comparison of apparent solute molecular size, the self-diffusion coefficient of solutes, the transport number of cations in aqueous solution. These indic aloes that poly(2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogel membrane shows a specific selectivity for sodium ion.

In this study, the intermediate layer in Pd-based hydrogen separation membrane was synthesized to minimize the surface roughness and defects using powder-type and sol-type metal oxides. The surface properties and gas permeation characteristics were analysed by SEM and $N_2$ gas permeation test. The coating layer composed of sol type metal oxides has smooth surface, especially the layer coated by $TiO_2$ sol has little pin holes, cracks and defects. The binary layer composed of powder type and sol type metal oxides has similar flux characteristics to a single sol type layer. The Pd-based composite membrane improved by the binary intermediate layer exhibited $0.32mol/m^2s$ of the hydrogen permeation flux with a selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of ~10,890 at 672 K and a pressure difference of 1 bar.

The thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of metal ions with dibenzo-16-crown-5 and its derivatives have been determined by solution calorimetry in methanol at 25$^{\circ}C$. Thermodynamic properties of log K, ${\Delta}H$, and $T{\Delta}S$ have been determined for the complexation of metal cations by dibenzo-16-crown-5 and its derivatives. Dibenzo-16-crown-5 and its derivatives have been studied as metal cations carrier in bulk liquid membrane (BLM) and supported liquid membrane (SLM) system. $Ag^+$ has been much more transported using dibenzo-16-crown-5 derivatives as carriers and several other metal cations have been small transported using carrier in BLM and SLM system. Ligand structure, the length of side arm, donor atom, stability constant, and carrier concentration are also important parameters in the transport of cations.

A new type of piexoelectric membrane traveling wave motor has been designed and forbricated. The small motor is composed by the stator which is the combination of annular/circular membrane and metal elastic base using as the common electrode at some time and the rotor which is placed on the metal elastic body. Thus the motor structure is simple and easy to fabricate. The material of a piezoelectric membrane is fabricated by sol-gel method or wear-down method. A piezoelectric traveling wave motor has been fabricated with the stator diameter 8mm The total thickness of the stator is 350$\mu$m. Under the alternative excitation voltage 10-12V the revolving speed of the rotor is more than 100RPM.

A sectional analysis of sheet metal forming process with an arbitrary tool shape is proposed in the present work. To improve the numerical convergence in the conventional membrane sectional analysis, the Bending Energy Augmented Membrane (BEAM) elements had been developed. The BEAM elements particularly improve the stability and convergence of the finite element method for the case of deep drawing. In this work, the FERGUBON spline (C$^2$-continuous) was used to fit the deformed mesh to smooth the given curves and calculate the local curvature of the deformed sheet. The fittings of the deformed sheet and tool surface profile ensure the stability and the convergence of the finite element analysis of highly nonlinear stamping processes. A center floor section and front fender section are analyzed to show the accuracy and robustness of the approach. The results obtained by the proposed approach are compared with the available experimental data.

Heavy metal contamination has attracted considerable attention during recent decades due to the potential risk brought about for human beings and the environment. Several adsorbent materials are utilized for the purification of contaminated water resources among which chitosan is considered as an appropriate alternative. Copper is a heavy metal contaminants found in several industrial wastewaters and its adsorption on porous and macroporous chitosan membranes is investigated in this study. Membranes are prepared by phase inversion and particulate leaching method and their morphology is characterized using SEM analysis. Batch adsorption experiments are performed and it is found that copper adsorption on macroporous chitosan membrane is higher than porous membrane. The iso-steric heat of adsorption was determined by analyzing the variations of temperature to investigate its effect on adsorption characteristics of macroporous chitosan membranes. Furthermore, desorption experiments were studied using NaCl and EDTA as eluants. The mechanism of copper adsorption was also investigated using XPS spectroscopy which confirms simultaneous occurrence of chelation and electrostatic adsorption mechanisms.
