[ 1 ] - Performance of Chemically Modified TiO2-poly (vinylidene fluoride) DCMD for Nutrient Isolation and Its Antifouling Properties
The surface properties of TiO2-PVDF nanocomposite membranes were investigated by incorporating different chemically modified TiO2 nanoparticles into the poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix. The nanocomposite membranes were prepared via dual coagulation bath diffusion and the induced phase inversion method. The membrane surface morphologies were investigated by using SEM and AFM and related...
[ 2 ] - Nanoparticle Separation Using Direct Contact Membrane Distillation and Its Fouling Study
Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. DCMD is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...
[ 3 ] - Fluorosilaned-TiO2/PVDF Membrane Distillation with Improved Wetting Resistance for Water Recovery from High Solid Loading Wastewater
Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as an important technology for applications in industries such as seawater desalination and wastewater treatment due to its low energy requirement and theoretically low fouling propensity. However, the main obstacle to obtain high separating efciency in MD lies on the availability of porous hydrophobic membrane that can withstand p...
[ 4 ] - Membrane Distillation for Water Recovery and Its Fouling Phenomena
The total volume of water on Earth is circa 300 million cubic miles, with close to 98.0% being salt water and the remaining 2.0% fresh water. It has been increasingly more challenging to harvest fresh water from surface water, seawater and even from wastewater due to the combination of factors, viz. burgeoning population growth, rapid industrialization and climate change. Recently, membrane dis...
