Accurate permeability estimation has always been a concern in determining flow units, assigning appropriate capillary pressure andrelative permeability curves to reservoir rock types, geological modeling, and dynamic simulation.Acoustic method can be used as analternative and effective tool for permeability determination. In this study, a four-step approach is proposed for permeability estimati...

in this paper, the removal of phenol by using aqueous solution in a low pressure reverse osmosis membrane was investigated. the effect of feed pressure, feed concentration, feed flow rate and feed ph on phenol rejection was investigated. the results showed that feed ph is the most affective parameter on the phenol rejection. rejection of phenol increased with increasing ph from 2 to 10 under th...

Abstract Polyamide composite reverse osmosis (RO) membranes occupy an important position in water treatment. However, membrane fouling, especially biofouling, can lead to a significant decrease permeability. Therefore, reducing biological contamination is and property of RO membrane. In this article, hypothesis on the development new kind for antibacterial purposes was prepared by modification ...

Incorporation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles has played an important role on the improvement unique membrane characterization and performance, most notably hydrophilic modification for higher pure water permeability. Additionally, permeability can be improved via introduction braid support by reducing thickness separation layer. Moreover, braided hollow fiber (BHFM) is able to perform under ...

3D-printing is an emerging method for manufacturing polyamide (PA) reserve osmosis (RO) membranes water treatment and desalination, which can precisely control membrane structural properties, such as thickness, roughness, resolution. However, the synthesis-structure (i.e., degree of cross-linking (DC), m-phenylenediamine/trimesoyl chloride (MPD/TMC) ratio, thickness) to property (permeability w...

reservoir permeability is a critical parameter for characterization of the hydrocarbon reservoirs. in fact, determination of permeability is a crucial task in reserve estimation, production and development. traditional methods for permeability prediction are well log and core data analysis which are very expensive and time-consuming. well log data is an alternative approach for prediction of pe...

purpose: to investigate the efficacy of topical cyclosporine a 2% in treating and preventing recurrent graft rejection episodes after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in patients with history of previous rejection episodes. methods: in this clinical trial, eligible pkp patients were randomly given topical cyclosporine a 2% or placebo in addition to a standard corticosteroid regimen for an episode...

Porous low-pressure membranes have been used as active in water treatment and support for thin-film composite desalination gas separation applications. In this article, microfiltration polysulfone (PSf)mixed-matrix (MMM) containing amine-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-NH2) were fabricated via a phase inversion process characterized using XPS, SEM, AFM, DMA, XRD, contact angle measurements. T...

Charge mosaic membranes, which possess distinct cationic and anionic domains that traverse the membrane thickness, are capable of selectively separating dissolved salts from similarly sized neutral solutes. Here, the generation of charge mosaic membranes using facile layer-by-layer assembly methodologies is reported. Polymeric nanotubes with pore walls lined by positively charged polyethylenimi...

Polyethylene terephthalate mesh (PET) enhanced cellulose acetate membranes were fabricated via a phase inversion process. The membrane fabrication parameters that may affect the membrane performance were systematically evaluated including the concentration and temperature of the casting polymer solution and the temperature and time of the evaporation, coagulation and annealing processes. The wa...
