The production of olive oil generates wastewater with a high organic load and toxicity due to the concentration phenolic compounds. In recent years, study on treatments these waters has been intensified together search for process recover compounds their great antioxidant potential. All this aim implementing concept circular economy. study, four different ultrafiltration membranes were evaluate...

Describing the pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) behavior of polymers is often hindered due to limitations models and theories. In this work, we propose logistic function derive a phenomenological equation state (EOS) that overcomes these limitations. Without dividing temperature domain into several intervals, continuous EOS describes PVT amorphous in equilibrium state, vitreous at glass transi...

Biorelevant dissolution is an indispensable tool utilized during formulation development and optimization for the prediction of in vivo bioavailability of pharmaceutical agents. Within that framework, membrane-permeation dissolution methodologies are widely used to model drug absorption. The current work evaluates polymer membrane surface modifications for production of biomimetic membranes to ...

BACKGROUND In heroin injectors, there have been a number of outbreaks caused by spore-forming bacteria, causing serious infections such as anthrax or botulism. These are, most likely, caused by injecting contaminated heroin, and our aim was to develop a filter that efficiently removes these bacteria and is also likely to be acceptable for use by people who inject drugs (i.e. quick, simple and n...

The utilisation of plant-derived nanoscale cellulosic materials (cellulose nanofibrils, CNF) in tailoring water purification membranes is constantly gaining interest the context green-functionalised membrane solutions. However, most existing approaches based on renewable and biobased suffer from lack efficient scalable processing strategies. Here, we introduce a roll-to-roll modification approa...

• A hybrid process coupling nanofiltration and ozonation was assessed. pre-ozonated solution mixed to the water treat doped with H 2 O . Two pharmaceuticals were efficiently removed in both retentate permeate. Membrane fouling decreased by a factor two using river sample. Organic membranes not degraded oxidants water. This study assesses feasibility of designing / membrane that can simultaneous...
