Outline of Research at the Start

Monovalent cations (A+) are abundant and are difficult species to get rid of in any aqueous system. Therefore, a high efficiency separation of A+ from the IWW and seawater is the most awaited breakthrough for tackling the global drinking water crisis. PBA are the well known A+ adsorbents. PAFis a relatively newer group of organic polymers that are seen as a hope for fabricating ion selective membranes. So, these two types of porous coordination polymers will be fabricated and optimized to develop a high efficiency electro-dialytic desalination system.
