Water contamination by micropollutants is increasing, including steroid hormones. Indiscriminate use, incorrect disposal, inefficient treatment of water and effluents, less restrictive legislation promote the effluents water, with harmful consequences for environment human health. In this work, it was evaluated use reverse osmosis in removal ethinylestradiol levonorgestrel, synthetic steroids t...

We systematically assess the efficiency of chemical cleaning and report a simple but elegant approach to control scaling during membrane distillation (MD) of brine from reverse osmosis (RO) treatment of coal seam gas (CSG) produced water. Results reported here show that increased feed water salinity and the permeation of CO2 from the feed solution resulted in only a small and gradual decrease i...

Fruit juices are traditionally processed thermally to avoid microorganisms’ growth and increase their shelf-life. The concentration of by thermal evaporation is carried out reduce volume consequently the storage transportation costs. However, many studies revealed that high-temperature operation destroys valuable nutrients aroma juice. Currently, membrane technology has emerged as an alternativ...

Modelling of coupled thermal (T), hydro (H), mechanical (M) and chemical (C) processes in geomaterials has attracted attention the past decades due to many significant contemporary engineering applications such as nuclear waste disposal, carbon capture storage etc. However, very-low permeability membrane geomaterials, couplings between osmosis their consequent influence on temperature, water tr...

Abstract To solve the problems of unstable chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity and suspended solid (SS) removal for electrocatalytic process operation subsequent ultrafiltration membrane–reverse osmosis membrane in a centralised fracturing wastewater treatment plant Inner Mongolia, integrated dissolved ozone flotation (DOF) was proposed to replace original process. Multiple processes, such ...
