Nanocomposite Membranes with Pd and Ag Nanoparticles. A New Material for Catalytic Membranes Development

New Polymer Catalytic Membranes for Nitrite Reduction: Experimental Assessment

In this work we report the experimental assessment of the performance of a new catalytic hollow fiber reactor with supported Pd catalyst for nitrite removal from polluted waters. The reactor configuration facilitates working at low flowrate and hydrogen concentrations in order to improve the selectivity of the reduction reaction towards nitrogen, thus, inhibiting the formation of ammonia. Pd ca...

Nanocomposite Membranes with Magnesium, Titanium, Iron and Silver Nanoparticles - A Review

Nanocomposite membrane comprising of both organic and inorganic material qualities have become a prime focus for the next generation membranes. Nanocomposite may consist of hard permeable or impermeable inorganic particles, such as zeolites, carbon molecular sieves and, silica and carbon nanotubes, metal oxide blended with continuous polymeric matrix presents an attract...

The Potential of Nanoparticles for Upgrading Thin Film Nanocomposite Membranes – A Review

Over the past decade, many applications were intended for filtration by membrane technology especially the thin film composite (TFC) membranes. In advanced developments of thin film membranes, an attempt was made to spread a new generation of membranes called thin film nano composite (TFN) membranes. However, in the last generation of TFNs, an ultrathin selective film of nanoparticles is coated...
