The effects of the operating parameters such as the cross-linking temperature (65–85 °C) and cross-linking time (0.5–2.5 h) were studied on the membranes performances. The results showed that the sulfur selectivity of PDMS/PEG/PES/PAN membranes were improved through increasing temperature and time. In addition, most of the total flux and the lowest amount of sulfur in the back flow is related to composite membranes of PEG + PDMS.}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Industrial Chemistry}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Farsi, Mohsen and Honarvar, Bizhan and Heydarinasab, Amir and Arjmand, Mehdi}, year={2023}, month={Nov.}, keywords={PDMS, PEG, Sulfur content removal, Composite membrane, Cross linking agent, PAN} }
