Pervaporative desalination is an efficacious method to obtain fresh water from saline sources. High salt rejection and capacity cope with high-salt concentration solutions are important advantages of pervaporation process. To improve pervaporative performance, researches concentrate on novel membrane types. Water stable metal organic frameworks loaded membranes attract substantial attention amo...

We report here a method for enhancing the non-oxygen functionalization of graphene nanosheets. This improvement is taken place by increasing oxygen functional groups as active reaction sites on oxide cold plasma treatment followed substitution octadecylamine (ODA). The FTIR, XPS, XRD, RAMAN, and TGA analyses verified that modification could increase amount 61%. plasma-treated functionalized nan...

A triple-layer composite membrane with porous-dense-porous structure was proposed to develop a high performance membrane reactor. The triple-layer composite membrane consists of a porous Sr0.7Ba0.3Fe0.9Mo0.1O3 δ (SBFM) layer, a dense 0.5 wt% Nb2O5-doped SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3 δ (SCFNb) layer and a porous La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 δ–yttria stabilized zirconia (LSM/YSZ) layer. The porous layers can effectively redu...

The aptitude of a hollow-fiber membrane reactor to determine lipase kinetics was investigated using the hydrolysis of triacetin catalyzed by lipase from Canadida cylindracea as a model system. The binding of the lipase to the membrane appears not to be very specific (surface adsorption), and probably its conformation is hardly altered by immobilization, resulting in an activity comparable to th...

Abstract: Nano pore Mordenite membranes were prepared on the outer surface of ceramic tubular tubes via hydrothermal synthesis and evaluated for dehydration pervaporation of water unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine UDMH mixtures. Highly water-selective mordenite membranes were prepared and the optimum reaction condition was found to be 24 h crystallization time and 170 °C crystallization temperatu...
