Self-cleaning Metal Organic Framework (MOF) based ultra filtration membranes - A solution to bio-fouling in membrane separation processes
Bio-fouling is a serious problem in many membrane-based separation processes for water and wastewater treatment. Current state of the art methods to overcome this are to modify the membranes with either hydrophilic additives or with an antibacterial compound. In this study, we propose and practise a novel concept to prevent bio-fouling by developing a killing and self-cleaning membrane surface ...
متن کاملStudy of Separation and Fouling of Reverse Osmosis Membranes during Model Hydrolysate Solution Filtration
Prehydrolysate, a dilute solution consisting mainly of pentoses, hexoses, and lesser quantities of organic acids, furfural and phenolics, is generated in the Kraft dissolving pulp process. An obstacle facing the valorization of the solution in hemicellulose biorefineries, by conversion of the sugars into bioproducts such as furfural, is the low sugar concentration. Membrane filtration is typica...
متن کاملA homochiral metal-organic framework membrane for enantioselective separation.
For the first time, a homochiral metal-organic framework membrane was prepared for the enantioselective separation of important chiral compounds, especially chiral drug intermediates, which will allow for the potential development of a new, sustainable and highly efficient chiral separation technique.
متن کاملMetal–Organic Framework-Functionalized Alumina Membranes for Vacuum Membrane Distillation
Nature-mimetic hydrophobic membranes with high wetting resistance have been designed for seawater desalination via vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) in this study. This is achieved through molecular engineering of metal–organic framework (MOF)-functionalized alumina surfaces. A two-step synthetic strategy was invented to design the hydrophobic membranes: (1) to intergrow MOF crystals on the al...
متن کاملMetal-organic framework based mixed matrix membranes: a solution for highly efficient CO2 capture?
The field of metal-organic framework based mixed matrix membranes (M(4)s) is critically reviewed, with special emphasis on their application in CO2 capture during energy generation. After introducing the most relevant parameters affecting membrane performance, we define targets in terms of selectivity and productivity based on existing literature on process design for pre- and post-combustion C...
