Pellet reactor pretreatment: A feasible method to reduce scaling in bipolar membrane electrodialysis
(Elsevier Inc., 2013-07)
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a pellet reactor in reducing the scaling potential in electrodialysis with bipolar membranes for water containing a high concentration of calcium by adding sodium carbonate ...
P-recovery as calcium phosphate from wastewater using an integrated selectrodialysis/crystallization process
(Elsevier, 2014)
A promising and sustainable renewable source of phosphate was obtained through crystallization of calcium phosphate from wastewater. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of an integrated ...
A biologically inspired hydrophobic membrane for application in pervaporation
(American Chemical Society, 2013-02)
An artificial polydimethylsiloxane/polyphenylsulfone (PDMS/PPSU) membrane, which emulates the hydrophobic behavior of natural membranes, was synthesized. Hydrophobicity was achieved by coating the membrane surface sublayer ...
Nano-WS2 embedded PES membrane with improved fouling and permselectivity
(Elsevier Inc., 2013)
The application of nanoparticles as additives in membrane synthesis for improving the resistance of membranes against fouling has triggered recent interest in new membrane types. However, most nanoparticle-enhanced membranes ...
Effect of impurities in the recovery of 1-(5-bromo-fur-2-il)-2-bromo-2-nitroethane using nanofiltration
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-08)
The recovery of the active pharmaceutical ingredient 1-(5-bromo-fur-2-il)-2-bromo-2-nitroethane (denoted as G-1) from residual ethanol produced during the purification of G-1 was studied by using solvent resistant ...
Potential innovations in separation technology by nature-inspired membranes: Beneath and beyond the Earth's crust
(Society of Chemical Industry/Wiley, 2014-04)
The understanding of complex bio-mechanisms in nature is explored in this perspective as a way to effectively enable scientific advancements in membrane technology. The mechanisms of nature-inspired technological improvements ...
A cascaded pervaporation process for dehydration of acetic acid
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
Pervaporation is advantageous in separating close-boiling point mixtures, azeotropes, thermally sensitive compounds and purification of chemicals. However, one pervaporation unit may not be economically feasible to ...
Membrane crystallization for the recovery of a pharmaceutical compound from waste streams
(Elsevier, 2014-02)
The recovery of the active pharmaceutical compound 1-(5-bromo-fur-2-il)-2-bromo-2-nitroethane (denoted as G-1) in a crystalline form from waste aqueous solutions using membrane crystallization is addressed in this work. ...
A Green Approach to Modify Surface Properties of Polyurethane Foam for Enhanced Oil Absorption
(MDPI AG, 2020-08)
The non-selective property of conventional polyurethane (PU) foam tends to lower its oil absorption efficiency. To address this issue, we modified the surface properties of PU foam using a rapid solvent-free surface ...
