A rotating biological contactor (RBC) offers a low energy footprint but suffers from performance instability, making it less popular for domestic wastewater treatment. This paper presents study on an RBC integrated with membrane technology in which filtration was used as post-treatment step (RBC–ME) to achieve enhanced performance. The and RBC–ME systems were operated under different hydraulic ...

Abstract The experimental qualification of the tritium extraction unit (TEU) from LiPb eutectic alloy (15.7 at. % Li), breeder material water-cooled lithium–lead breeding blanket concept, is one fundamental items for demonstration balance sustainability ITER and DEMO fusion reactors. Several technologies have been proposed as TEU, but selection reference technology can be carried out only after...

In this work, the concentration process of three different tea extracts (medicinal Rosil No. 6, Black, and Forest Fruit teas) using the osmotic evaporation (OE) process, was studied. The effect of the OE process on the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity was evaluated. The concentration process was carried out in a hollow-fibre membrane contactor with an effective surface are...

A membrane-based gas absorption (MGA) process was evaluated for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on C6H6/N2 mixture. The absorption of C6H6 from a C6H6/N2 mixture was investigated using a hydrophobic polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor and the aqueous solution of N-formyl morpholine (NFM) as absorbent. The effects of various factors on the overall mass transfer c...
