U.S.-Taiwan Cooperation: Analyte Extractions Using ion Exchange Membranes with Immobilized Surfactants

OISE 0553369 Conte该奖项涉及在固相萃取领域拥有专业知识的化学教师之间为期三年的合作安排，重点是为他们的学生提供国际研究经验。来自西肯塔基大学的Eric Conte教授将与台湾台中国立中兴大学的孙成义教授分享学生研究经验。PI和他的学生将把他们在固体颗粒相上使用表面活性剂的工作与孙教授和她的学生在膜萃取方面的工作结合起来，研究表面活性剂在膜上萃取的使用。与PIS实验室中使用的颗粒相比，膜提供了不同的提取安排和潜在的不同的吸着剂特性。与填充颗粒不同，膜不会受到沟道、壁面效应和死体积效应的影响。此外，与填充颗粒相比，膜可以在较低的背压和较高的流过体积下运行。每所院校的两名学生将参观外国同行的校园，进行为期八周的暑期研究体验。美国学生每年将包括一名本科生和一名硕士研究生。

OISE 0553369Conte This award involves a three-year collaborative arrangement between chemistry faculty with expertise in the area of solid phase extractions that focuses on international research experiences for their students. Professor Eric Conte, from Western Kentucky University, will engage in shared student research experiences with Professor Shing-Yi Suen of National Chung Hsing University in Taichung, Taiwan. The PI and his students will incorporate their work using surfactants on a solid particle phase with the work of Professor Suen and her students on membrane extractions to study the use of surfactants on membranes for extractions. Membranes offer the possibility of different extraction arrangements and potentially different sorbent properties compared to particles being used in the PIs laboratory. Membranes, unlike packed particles, do not suffer from channeling, wall effects, and dead volume effects. Also, compared with packed particles, membranes can operate under lower backpressures and higher flow through volumes. Two students from each institution will visit the campus of the foreign counterpart for eight-week summer research experiences. The US students will include one undergraduate and one Masters degree student each year.
