Membranes based on non-synthetic (natural) polymers for wastewater treatment

Electrospun membranes: Next generation membranes for desalination and water/wastewater treatment

Natural and Synthetic Biomedical Polymers

Synthetic Non-Biodegradable Polymers:

Synthetic polymers have been widely used in making various medical devices, such as disposable supplies, implants, drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds. The advantages of using polymers, as biomaterials, are their manufacturability. Polymers are easy to fabricate into various sizes and shapes compared to metals and ceramics. They are also light in weight and with a wide range ...

Use of natural coagulants for industrial wastewater treatment

Industrial effluents are a menace to the environment and the fact that their characteristics vary from industry-to-industry only adds to the complex challenge they offer to the engineers and scientists. Resource-efficient and environment-friendly solutions to this hazard are a call of the hour. Coagulation, by synthetic chemicals, has been used as a cost-effective and efficient method for manag...
