Nanocomposite pervaporation membrane for desalination

Ultrathin Two-dimensional MXene Membrane for Pervaporation Desalination

As a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials, MXene, with many attractive physicochemical properties, has attracted increasing attentions and been applied for various applications. Here, for the first time, ultrathin MXene membranes with thickness down to several tens of nanometers were developed for pervaporation desalination by stacking synthesized atomic-thin MXene nanosheets. Influence...

Pervaporation: Membrane Separations

G-100 is used for higher molecular mass proteins. The solutions of proteins are prepared in guanidine hydrochloride (10 mg mL ), and cytochromec (10 mg mL ) is used as an internal standard. Descending chromatography is carried out at room temperature under an inclination angle of 253 to the horizontal. After 3 h of development the quotient Rs protein/Rs cytochrome c is calculated for each prote...

Scale-up Strategies for Membrane-Based Desalination Processes: A Review

Membrane-based technologies have increasingly been chosen in desalination processes, which is evidenced by the increase of large-scale plants constructed in recent years. Indeed, several appropriate strategies should be considered to minimize problems faced during the construction, such as membrane system designs, area requirement, energy requirement, operation and maintenance, and environmenta...

Novel Membrane Materials for Reverse Osmosis Desalination

The use of solvents in desalination processes limits the use of certain materials in the construction of the reverse osmosis membranes. Therefore now the research effort has focused on improving new materials. In particular, nanostructured materials will probably form the basis for new reverse osmosis membrane materials. This study makes a review of the new materials used for the construction o...
