Optimum Operation Conditions of Direct Capillary Nanofiltration for Wastewater Treatment

Direct Capillary Nanofiltration (Direct CNF) is a new technique used for surface water and wastewater treatment in one step without pre-treatment. The CNF membrane module combines the favourable cleaning properties of capillary ultrafiltration membranes with the favourable separation properties of nanofiltration membranes in terms of removal of DOC, colour, bacteria, viruses and pesticides. Dir...

Optimum conditions for preparative operation of capillary zone electrophoresis

The possibilities to use capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) as a preparative tool have been studied, mostly from a theoretical point of view. The preparative performance of CZE is quantitated by the production rate, the amount of analyte that can be purified per unit of time. The production rate available with CZE is shown to depend in the first place on the chemical characteristics of the an...

Sealing of Rotary Drums for Operation Under Pressurized Conditions

A portable anaerobic microbioreactor reveals optimum growth conditions for the methanogen Methanosaeta concilii.

Conventional studies of the optimum growth conditions for methanogens (methane-producing, obligate anaerobic archaea) are typically conducted with serum bottles or bioreactors. The use of microfluidics to culture methanogens allows direct microscopic observations of the time-integrated response of growth. Here, we developed a microbioreactor (microBR) with approximately 1-microl microchannels t...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
