Recently, frequent discharge of water-ladened emerging organic pollutants such as Bisphenol A has elicited serious concern due to its pernicious effects on public health and the ecological environment. In this study, hematite nanoparticles (Fe2O3) were synthesized via sol–gel auto-combustion technique incorporated a nanofiller fabricate PVDF-PEG nanocomposite hollow fibre membrane with enhanced...

Membrane filtration performances can be enhanced by the deposition of a selective thin layer on surface porous substrate. Our simulation focus nanometric bicontinuous microemulsions onto hollow-fibre membranes and its polymerisation using UV modules. To that end, laws governing linear liquids have been extended to study microemulsions. highlights difficulty depositing liquid coating fibre witho...

The special channels and intrinsic defects within GO laminates make it a very potential candidate for gas separation in recent years. Herein, the gas separation performance of GO membranes prepared on the surface of ceramic α-Al2O3 hollow fiber were investigated systematically. The microstructures of ceramic hollow fiber supported GO membranes were optimized by adjusting operation conditions. A...

Pervaporation membrane technology plays an important role in production of renewable bio-fuels. To improve the separation performance of polymeric membranes, an effective approach is development of mixed-matrix membranes containing high-performing fillers such as metal-organic frameworks. Towards practical application, hollow fiber could be an ideal substrate for mixed-matrix composite membrane...

in this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (nmp) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. the morphology of fabricated membranes...

Due to increase in the number of goods carrying tricycles, the amount of noise and pollution on our roads has increased. To optimize the control of the engine noise emission for tricycle, different absorptive material liners have been introduced into muffler design. In this study, the performance of Aerogel, Ceramic, Kenaf fibre, Polyester and Rockwool as absorptive material liners on the trans...

Membrane autopsy was performed for a 10 year old polypropylene (PP) hollow fibre microfiltration membrane from Sydney Olympic Park water reclamation plant. The properties of the membrane were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging, contact angle, bubble test, thermogravimetric analysis, tensile strength test and functional group. The old and fouled membrane exhibited a signifi...
