Removal of Enantiomeric Ibuprofen in a Nanofiltration Membrane Process

Removal of textile dye from aqueous solutions by nanofiltration process

The feasibility of employing nanofiltration (NF) in the decolorization of ionic (direct blue 86) and nonionic (disperse blue 56) dye aqueous solutions was investigated. The effects of feed concentration (60- 180 mg/l), pressure (0.5- 1.1 MPa) and pH (6- 10) were studied. Experiments were performed in a laboratory- scale set up by using a TFC commercial spiral wound polyamide nanofilter. The res...

Cyclophosphamide removal from water by nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane.

The rejection of cyclophosphamide (CP) by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes from ultrapure (Milli-Q) water and membrane bioreactor (MBR) effluent was investigated. Lyophilization-extraction and detection methods were first developed for CP analysis in different water matrices. Experimental results showed that the RO membrane provided excellent rejection (>90%) under all ope...

Nanofiltration (NF) membrane process with pre-ozonation for brine treatment

Incorporated Poly Acrylic Acid-co-Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Mixed Matrix Polyethersulfone based Nanofiltration Membrane in Desalination Process

Polyethersulfone (PES) based nanocomposite nanofiltration membrane was prepared by immersion precipitation method and casting solution technique using  poly (acrylic acid) grafted-iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) as hydrophilic filler additives. For this purpose, iron oxide nanoparticles were modified by in situ polymerization of acrylic acid in aqueous solution by potassium persulfate as initi...

Negatively charged polyethersulfone hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane for the removal of bisphenol A from wastewater

Removal of endocrine disrupting compound (viz., bisphenol A, BPA) by laboratoryfabricated hollow fiber polyethersulfone (PES) nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been investigated. The tailor made charged PES hollow fiber NF membranes have been developed by blending negatively charged surface modifying macromolecule (cSMM). It is resulted more than 90% removal of BPA, mainly due to negatively ch...
