Process efficiency of casein separation from milk using polymeric spiral-wound microfiltration membranes

Mechanistic Modeling of Organic Compounds Separation from Water via Polymeric Membranes

A mathematical model considering mass and momentum transfer was developed for simulation of ethanol dewatering via pervaporation process. The process involves removal of water from a water/ethanol liquid mixture using a dense polymeric membrane. The model domain was divided into two compartments including feed and membrane. For a description of water transport in ...

Polymeric Gas Separation Membranes: What Makes them Industrially more Attractive?

Backwash of RO spiral wound membranes

Osmotic backwash experiments were conducted and analytical model was developed in attempt to describe the backwash mechanism. A single unit of a spiral wound RO membrane was used in the experiments. The RO membrane was fed by salted water solution. Permeate flux characteristics of the membrane were determined through steadystate RO experiments. Then the system was shiRed immediately to a backwa...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Removal of industrial cutting oil from oil emulsions by polymeric ultra- and microfiltration membranes.

The utilization of micro- and ultrafiltration with polymeric membranes for treatment of industrial cutting oil emulsion was investigated. The performance of 14 different membranes with pore sizes in the range of 1-800 nm, representing 8 different materials and varying hydrophobicity, was determined experimentally. Membrane permeances between 1.6 and 939 L m 2 h(-1) bar(-1) have been observed fo...
