This paper reports on preparation of polyamide membrane with addition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs act as antibacterial agents that are less susceptible to membrane’s biofouling by interfacial polymerization (IP) method. AgNPs was synthesized via green route which has been reported previously. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Field emiss...

Poly (phenylene-ether-ether) sulfone membrane was fabricated and characterized by efficient glycerol/biodiesel separation produced from waste cooking oils trans-esterification. The membrane preparation was processed by phase inversion technique. The morphology, Physico-chemical properties and separation behavior of membranes were studied at various PPEES concentration. A uniform surface was...

The preparation from Percoll-purified cucumber (Cucumis sativus)etiochloroplasts of a subplastidic membrane fraction that is capable of high rates of Mg insertion into protoporphyrin IX is described. The plastid stroma was inactive when used either alone or in combination with the membrane fraction. Successful preparation of the subplastidic membrane fraction required that Mg-protoporphyrin che...

A brief review is given of membrane extraction techniques that are seen as suitable for the extraction of various chemicals in water samples. Membrane-based extraction methods have now gained popularity as methods of choice in the extraction of both ionisable and non-ionisable molecules from different samples. The main attractive features for these techniques include the use of minimal organic ...

A bulk fraction enriched with respect to neuronal cell bodies was used as starting material for the isolation of neuronal plasma membrane The cells were gently homogenized in isotonic sucrose and a crude membrane containing fraction sedimented at 3000 g. Subsequently, the membrane fraction was purified on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient between 35% and 25 5% sucrose (w/w). Enzymatic an...

Polymer-based membranes have advanced or novel functions in the various membrane separation processes for liquid and gaseous mixtures, such as gas separation, pervaporation (PV), reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), microfiltration (MF), other critical applications of water purification, solvent concentration, recovery [...]
