Reverse Osmosis Separation of Surfactants

A Novel Photovoltaic Powered Reverse Osmosis with Improved Productivity of Reverse Osmosis and Photovoltaic Panel

With the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. Domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. The novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...

Reverse Osmosis Field Study

Reverse Osmosis and Ultrafiltration

Membrane processes have been successfully employed for treatment of a large number of industrial effluents. Reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) are versatile separation and purification tools for the process industries. Both of these techniques are based on the ability of pressure-driven filtration membranes to separate multi-component fluids based on molecular size, shape, and chemic...

Effect of Organoclay on the Performance of Reverse Osmosis Membrane

This study investigated the effect of Cloisite15A (C15A) organoclay in the substrate layer on the performance of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The substrate of the RO membranes was modified using different loading of C15A (ranging from 0.3 - 0.7 wt%) within polysulfone (PSf) substrate and the polyamide (PA) selective layer was formed on the top. Effect of the modified substrate layer on the w...

The Elimination of Toluenediamine from Aqueous Solution by Reverse Osmosis

Toluene diamine (TDA) is a main carcinogenic aromatic pollutant in some industrial wastewater. In this study, the reverse osmosis with DSS-HR98PP as the membrane was employed for the removal of TDA in an aqueous environment. The Box–Behnken Design (BBD) of the experimentwas used to consider the effect of operational variables such as pressure, pH and the feed volu...
