[ 1 ] - Recent Developments in Fouling Minimization of Membranes Modifed with Silver Nanoparticles

When incorporated in membranes, Ag0 nanoparticles are effective antifouling and antibacterial agents, arising from the presence of Ag+ ions either in solution or adsorbed onto nanoparticles. A vari...

[ 2 ] - The Isolation of Organic Compounds using Organophilic Pervaporation Membranes

Organophilic membranes provide a method of recovering organic compounds by pervaporation, which exploits the selective transport of the organic phase. The main application is in the extraction of bio-alcohols from aqueous solution. The effect of membrane composition on performance in transporting alcohols and not water at improved rates is the focus of this review. In th...

[ 3 ] - Preliminary Evaluation for Vacuum Membrane Distillation (VMD) Energy Requirement

The energy requirement of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) with or without recirculation was modelled using both experimental results and theoretical data. The trends are generally consistent between the theoretical and experimental data. Thermal energy contributes the most to the total energy required for the VMD process. To lower the thermal energy cost, waste heat resource and heat recover...
