Nanoparticles functionalized ceramic membranes: fabrication, surface modification, and performance

Fabrication and Charge Modification of Ceramic Membranes Using Copper Nanoparticles for Desalination

Ceramic membranes are considered as alternatives for their polymeric counterparts due to highmechanical strength and thermal resistance; thus long lifetime. Usually, asymmetric ceramicmembranes are synthesized including several layers with different pore size distributionswith the top-layer playing the main separation role. Titania has several properties such asphotocatalytic activity and chemi...

FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OFHIGH PERFORMANCE CERAMIC MEMBRANE HAVINGNANOMETRE PORES

Abstract: In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown directly in the pores of micro porous pyrex membranesand consequently ceramic membranes with very fine pores and high porosity were achieved. Our experiment was donein two stages. Initially cobalt powder with different percent was homogeneously mixed with pyrex powder. In order toproduce row membranes, each of these mixtures were compa...

Fabrication, Structure and Properties of Nanostructured Ceramic Membranes

Surface Modification for Microreactor Fabrication

In this paper, methods of surface modification of different supports, i.e. glass and polymeric beads for enzyme immobilisation are described. The developed method of enzyme immobilisation is based on Schiff’s base formation between the amino groups on the enzyme surface and the aldehyde groups on the chemically modified surface of the supports. The surface of silicon modified by APTS and GOPS w...

Electrodialysis Heterogeneous Anion Exchange Membranes Filled with TiO2 Nanoparticles: Membranes' Fabrication and Characterization

In the current research, polyvinylchloride based mixed matrix heterogeneous anion exchange membranes were prepared by a solution casting technique. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles were also utilized as inorganic filler additive in the membrane fabrication. The effect of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration in the casting solution on the membrane physico-chemical properties was studied. Membrane wate...
