Abstract
A chemical processing cell includes an upstream membrane and a downstream membrane. The upstream membrane generates a first reaction product. The downstream membrane converts the first reaction product to a second reaction product.
Claims20
A chemical processing cell, comprising:
- an upstream membrane generating hydrogen peroxide from a starting material, wherein said upstream membrane is a layer-by-layer assembly of glucose oxidase in a regenerated cellulose membrane;
- and
- a downstream membrane decomposing said hydrogen peroxide generated by said upstream membrane, wherein said downstream membrane is a poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane with poly(acrylic acid) functionalized pores containing immobilized metal, iron, metal ion, iron ion, iron oxide nanoparticles, iron oxyhydroxide nanoparticles, ferrihydrite nanoparticles and mixtures thereof.
