Enhanced Emulsion Liquid Membranes for Extraction of Pollutants From Industrial Wastewater and Water

Described herein are novel emulsion liquid membranes useful for extracting pollutants from industrial wastewater and water. The emulsion liquid membranes include, in various phases, at least one of nanoparticles, an ionic liquid, and combinations of nanoparticles and ionic liquids. Use of the present emulsion liquid membranes enhances the sepa ration and the stability of the ELM method for pollutant extraction and recovery from wastewater and water.
