abstract

mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on porous α-alumina substrates, using secondary growth of nano-seeded layers. the resulting membranes were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffractometry (xrd), and pervaporation performance tests for separation of benzene, toluene and xylene (btx) mixture from contaminated water. the morphology, thickness, homogeneity, crystal preferential orientation and permeation properties of these membranes have been studied in relation to the seed layers. successful separation of btx mixture from water was performed by using the manufactured mfi zeolite membrane. the influence of temperature, feed concentration on the membrane separation efficiency systematically investigated. the total permeation fluxes were found to increase with increase in temperature and feed concentration. the separation factors increased with increasing feed concentration and decreased with increasing in temperature.

Removal of Pharmaceutical Compounds from Hospital Wastewaters Using Nanomaterials: A Review

Over the past few years, residual pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antipyretics drugs, hormones) have begun to be considered as emerging environmental pollutants due to their continuous input and persistence to aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. Therefore, the development of efficient, cost-effective, and stable methods and materials for the wastewaters treatment have g...

Controlled Crystallization of LTA Zeolitic Nanoparticles from a Clear Solution Using Organic Template

LTA Zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. The as-synthesized LTA zeolite particles were characterized by powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy, </e...

Removal of Emulsified and Dissolved Traces of Organic Compounds from Industrial Wastewaters Using Natural and Synthesized (NaA and NaM) Zeolites

The main object of this study was to compare the natural and synthetic( NaA and NaM) zeolites as absorbents in removing emulsified and dissolved traces of organic compounds, which appear in the wastewater of  power plants, refinery and petrochemical complexes.  The specific objectives of the work was: a) to select the best species that have the highest amount of absorption; b) to measure th...
