[ 1 ] - Enzyme-Mediated Extraction of Limonene, Linalool and Linalyl Acetate from Bergamot Peel Oil by Pervaporation
Bergamot peel oil is highly attractive for food and pharmaceutical industries due to its content of valuable essential oil, which is enriched with high-added valuable compounds, such as limonene, linalool and linalyl acetate. Nevertheless, there are some limitations for the separation of such compounds. In this framework, pervaporation (PV) technology was proposed as a ...
[ 2 ] - Desalination Research and Development in Saudi Arabia: Experience of the Center of Excellence in Desalination Technology at King Abdulaziz University
Membrane technology is growing very fast and it is used in several main applications from desalination, water and wastewater treatment to medical, biotechnology and gas separation field. Different membrane processes are applied depending on the applications from more traditional pressure-driven membrane processes (Microfiltration, MF; Ultrafiltration, UF; Nanofiltration, NF) to more advanced on...
[ 3 ] - Preparation and Characterization of Modifed PEEK-WC: DEHPA Microspheres for Rhodamine B Adsorption. Kinetics Studies
Functionalized polymeric microspheres based on a modifed polyether ether keetone (PEEK-WC) using immersion precipitation techniques were successfully prepared by doping initial polymeric solutions with DEHPA. The viscosity of the doping solution was measured for determining the optimal value for obtaining reproducible capsules. The modifed microspheres were characterize...
[ 4 ] - Cellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation
In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via non-solvent phase inversion technique (NIPS). Polymer concentration was varied from 22 to 25 wt% in order to study its effect on the membrane properties. The fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, water content, water p...
