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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...
