Nanocomposite Electrospun Nanofiber Membranes for Environmental Remediation
Rapid worldwide industrialization and population growth is going to lead to an extensive environmental pollution. Therefore, so many people are currently suffering from the water shortage induced by the respective pollution, as well as poor air quality and a huge fund is wasted in the world each year due to the relevant problems. Environmental remediation necessitates implementation of novel ma...
متن کاملFabrication of Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes for Membrane Distillation Application
Nanofibrous membranes of matrimide were successfully fabricated using electrospinning technique under optimized conditions. Nanofibrous membranes were found to be highly hydrophobic with high water contact angle of 130°. FESEM and pore size distribution analysis revealed the big pore size structure of electrospun membranes even greater than 2μm and the pore size distribution is found to be narr...
متن کاملSurface modification of nanostructured ceramic membranes for direct contact membrane distillation
The objective of this research was to evaluate a select number of promising surface treatments for making ceramic membranes hydrophobic and suitable for application in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Alumina anodiscTM membranes were made hydrophobic through surface treatments that utilized perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, trimethylchlorosilane, or trichloromethylsilane. The effective...
متن کاملImproving Nanofiber Membrane Characteristics and Membrane Distillation Performance of Heat-Pressed Membranes via Annealing Post-Treatment
Electrospun membranes are gaining interest for use in membrane distillation (MD) due to their high porosity and interconnected pore structure; however, they are still susceptible to wetting during MD operation because of their relatively low liquid entry pressure (LEP). In this study, post-treatment had been applied to improve the LEP, as well as its permeation and salt rejection efficiency. Th...
متن کاملNanoparticle Separation Using Direct Contact Membrane Distillation and Its Fouling Study
Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. DCMD is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...
