Carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. Due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. Because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a ground breaking membrane based technology to purify water by separating the dissolved solids from feed stream resulting in permeate and reject stream for a wide arena of applications in domestic , industrial and wide array of applications. Reverse osmosis or other membrane separation processes has an innovative vision which is extremely targeted towards environmental p...

membrane technology is used to separate water or solvents from salts or pollutants. this technique could be used for water treatment. for using of polyether sulfone (pes) hollow fiber membranes in water treatment processes, the pes hollow fiber membranes were prepared by dry-wet spinning method and heated in an oven at: 120°c, 150°c and 180°c. the effect of heating on performance of membranes w...

traditional systems for olefin/paraffin separation, like low-temperature distillation, are expensive and very energy consuming, and therefore, alternative separation methods are desired. facilitated transport membranes are new tools for this separation to be substituted in large scale separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures. to design a membrane process for olefin-paraffin separation, equilibriu...

Water supply and sanitation demands are foreseen to face enormous challenges over the coming decades to meet the fast growing needs in a global perspective. Significant growth in the industry is predicted and membrane separation technologies have been identified as one of the possible solutions to meet future demands. Application and implementation of membrane technology is expected both in pro...

Separation of milk into well-defined fractions will lead to a more optimal use of milk components (milk fat, casein, serum proteins) and their functional properties. In principle, membrane separation technology is well capable of large-scale fractionation of milk. Membrane processes for the isolation of serum proteins from whey, and the reduction of bacteria and spores in skimmed milk have alre...

Gas separation only became a major industrial application of membrane technology in the past 30 years, but the study of gas permeation through membranes has a long history. Systematic studies began with Thomas Graham who, over a period of 20 years, measured the permeation rates of all the gases then known, through every diaphragm available to him [1]. This was no small task because his experime...

Mechanical engineer Shreya Dave never planned to start a company. As a graduate student in materials scientist Jeffrey Grossman’s lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dave set out to develop a separation membrane for use in water desalinationwith the ultimate goal of creating freshwater from the sea. She succeeded in creating a graphene-oxide-based membrane that could filter molecules...

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, cry...
