Recycled PET Nanofibers for Water Filtration Applications
Water shortage is an immediate and serious threat to our world population. Inexpensive and scalable methods to clean freshwater and wastewater are in high demand. Nanofiber filtration membranes represent a next generation nonwoven filter media due to their unique properties. Polyethlyene terephthalate (PET) is often used in the packaging of water and other commonly used materials, leading to a ...
متن کاملFabrication of Compound Nanofibers For Antibacterial Applications in Filtration
In the present study, fabrication and characterization of compound composite nanofibers of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with nano silver and Polyamide 6 (PA6) are demonstrated. Compound composite fibers with core-shell structure were made using co-axial electrospinning method. The shell was made up of nano silver (Ag) impregnated PVA while PA6 was the core material. These compound composite nanofibe...
متن کاملThe Quest to Cost Effectively Meet Recycled Water Standards with Preozonation and Biologically Active Filtration
The latest NPDES permit adopted for the Sacramento Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant included a requirement for tertiary treatment, equivalent to the water quality requirements of Title 22, unrestricted use recycled water. Initial cost projections for the required plant upgrades exceeded $2 billion to upgrade the 691 ML/day (181 mgd) facility. To help in the selection process for tertiary tre...
متن کاملCarbon Nanofibers for Environmental Applications
Catalytically grown carbon nanofibers (CNF) are a newly developed type of material produced from the decomposition of selected carbon-containing gases over metal particles. These materials consist of nano-sized graphite platelets separated a distance of at least 0.335 nm and stacked in various orientations with respect to the fiber axis. Such an arrangement results in a unique structure that is...
متن کاملAminated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Nanofibers for the Selective Removal of Pb(II) from Polluted Water
Electrospun nanofibers have been successfully applied to remove toxic and carcinogenic contaminants such as heavy metals from polluted water. In this study, an efficient adsorbent based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanofibers was developed following a cheap, versatile and scalable process. PET nanofibers were first produced by electrospinning, and their surface was chemically functiona...
