one of the barriers during whey filtration using uf membrane is the fouling phenomenon of the membrane, which is caused by whey proteins. in this work, the uf membranes were prepared using polysufone (psf), dimethyl formamide (dmf), 1 wt.% poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) and different concentrations of licl via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation. the prepared membranes were charact...

in this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. for the time integration of the problem, the runge–kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. the runge–kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

a pvc membrane cr(iii) ion selective electrode has been constructed using 2h-1,4-benzothioazine-2,3(4h)dione dioxime (btd) as membrane carrier. the influence of membrane composition on the electroderesponse was studied. the electrode exhibits a nernstian response over a cr(iii) concentration range of 1.0 x10 6 to 1.0>< 10-1 m (r = 0.99) with a slope of 19.5 ± 0.5 mv per decade of concentration,...

this paper deals with the extraction of l-theanine containing aliquat 336 as a carrier and cyclohexane as solvent across bulk liquid membrane. the optimum operation condition are as follows: extraction time of 150 min, initial concentration of theanine in the feed phase is 1.8 g/l, the carrier concentration is 0.5 m, the ion of the receiving phase is 0.2 m nacl of na2hpo4-nah2po4 buffer solutio...

The proton exchange membrane (PEMFC) fuel cell represents the energy of the future, in parallel with hydrogen. However, this technology must meet many technical challenges related to performance and durability before being sold on a large scale. It is well known that these challenges are closely linked to water management. This paper develops and implements a model of PEM fuel for simulation to...

Background: Tissue engineering has been investigated as a potential method for healing traumatized tissues. Biomaterials are material devices or implants used to repair or replace native body tissues and organs. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of decontamination methods on biological/mechanical properties and degradation/adhesion test of the platelet‑-rich fibrin (PRF) m...

Excessive nutrient contents in water bodies renders eutrophication and causes undesired structural changes to the environment. One of the most straightforward strategies to address eutrophication issue is through the removal of nutrients such as phosphate ions from the water sources. A combination of membrane fltration and adsorption process is an attractive alternative...
