Forward osmosis (FO) plays an increasingly important role in membrane processes because of its advantages compared to traditional pressure-driven processes. There are different types water-selective FO membranes. In this study, a biomimetic hollow fiber module comprising active layer polyamide thin film composite (TFC) with integrated aquaporin proteins and effective area 0.6 m2 is used study t...

In the Introduction section of this Research Article, description on membrane geometry was incorrect. The first sentence fourth paragraph in section, “Herein we prepared high-silica CHA zeolite membranes ceramic hollow fiber substrates for Kr/Xe separation.” should be revised to read disk This change does not affect interpretation data and conclusions, but guarantees a consistent with other sec...

one of the most important concerns in tehran municipal landfill is the production of leachate and its potential for water resources pollution, this study was undertaken to examine feasibility of biological and physico/chemical treating of high-strength landfill leachate that was collected from tehran municipal landfill. average cod of the leachate in aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor is 680...

Matrimid®5218 hollow fiber membranes were prepared using the dry-wet spinning process. The transport properties were measured with pure gases (H2, CO2, N2, CH4 and O2) and with a mixture (30% CO2 and 70% N2) in dry and wet conditions at 25 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 75 °C and up to 600 kPa. Interesting values of single gas selectivity up to 60 °C (between 31 and 28 for CO2/N2 and between 33 and 30 fo...

Integrally-skinned asymmetric Polyetherimide/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PEI/PVA) hollow fber membranes for pervaporation dehydration were fabricated by non-solvent induced phase inversion. PVA inside the PEI matrix could be crosslinked to provide membrane performance stability during long term operation. The effects of different PEI/PVA blend ratio, external coagulant type and...

background: leachatecontaining high levels of organic pollution with ammonia, halogenatedhydrocarbons, heavy metals and inorganic salts. among the various methods fortreating leachate, has been developed membrane processes so that a morebiological process of membrane processes is used for separation of solid -liquid. the aimof this study was to evaluate the efficiency of membrane bioreactor eff...

The preparation of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) hollow fiber (HF) membranes has been carried out by dry-jet wet spinning. PAN HF membranes were coated with chitosan biopolymers 2 wt% by dip coating and further crosslinked by chemical reagents (Tri sodium polyphosphate). PAN HF (Virgin) and PAN/chitosan coated membrane were characterized by SEM and tested for water flux. Proteins Pepsin, Albumin, and...
