Selective Permeation of CO2 through Amine Bearing Facilitated Transport Membranes

The increase in the concentration of various hazardous gases in the atmosphere results in numerous environmental problems like global warming, greenhouse effect etc. A large number of research studies have been carried out on the process of capturing and storage of CO₂ fromgaseous mixture. Membranes and membrane processes are not a recent invention. The preparation of synthetic membrane and their utilization on a large industrial scale however are a more recent development which has rapidly gained a substantial importance due to the large number of practical application. Now a days; membranes are used to produce potable water from sea to clean industrial effluent and recover valuable constituent, purify or fractionate macromolecular mixture in food and drug industries and to separate gas and vapours.

They are also key component in energy conversion system and in artificial organs and drug delivery devices. Membrane technology is one of the most interestingtechnologies for its applications in various fields including Biologicalapplications. Lin et al.in his research study reported the substrate selectivity of Lysophospholipid Transporter (LplT ) involved in Membrane Phospholipids remodelling in Escherichia coli. Tong et al. Carried out their research study on the structural insight into substrate selection and catalysis of Lipid Phosphate Phosphates in the cell membrane
