Synthetic membranes are currently employed for multiple separation applications in various industries. They may have been prepared from organic or inorganic materials. Present research majorly focuses on polymeric (i.e., organic) because they show better flexibility, pore formation mechanism, and thermal chemical stability, demand less area installation. Dendritic, carbon nanotube, graphene oxi...

Pervaporation is a membrane process that offers high separation performance and has an important potential for the treatment of saline water sources. In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) PVA-SiO2 nanocomposite membranes were prepared by solution-casting method, pervaporative desalination studies carried out synthetic seawater (35 g L-1) at 30, 40 50?C. Effects temperatures incorporation SiO...

Solvent separations present one of the largest opportunities for membrane technologies. Currently, industries use millions tons solvents manufacture drugs, oils and chemicals. Multiple purifications must be conducted in order to purify products from solvents. However, existing separation processes are energy-intensive. Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) or solvent-resistant has emerged as an ...
