In this paper, a method of Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration (MEUF) with Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is proposed to remove phosphate ions from treated domestic wastewaters from the reclamation station of University Campus of Toledo (Spain). This technique is able to reach phosphate rejection coefficients higher than 99% (a phosphate concentration in permeate of 1 mg/L if feed conc...

Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in industrial effluent is one of the most serious environmental problems in India and also in other countries. Micellar-Enhanced Ultrafiltration (MEUF) of the chromate anions from aqueous solutions has been studied at room temperature (28±2°C) using cationic surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), micelles of which adso...

This paper presents the development of a model for evaluating adsorbable organic halogens’ (AOX) removal efficiency during wastewater treatment by using the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) technique. Surfactants can form larger aggregates (micelles) were prepared into which AOXs dissolve and are then retained by the membrane. Synthetic wastewater samples containing certain concentratio...

Seaweeds are primitive non flowering aquatic plants, which have been a source of food, feed and medicine since ancient times. The selected green seaweed U. fasciata collected from Gulf of Mannar is a unique marine habitat that belongs to the diverse class of seaweeds. Hence the present study was conducted with the specific objectives to explore the anticancer activity of green seaweed, Ulva fas...
