The textile industry is an important contributor to the growth of global economy. However, a huge quantity wastewater generated as by-product during manufacturing, which hinders ongoing development in terms environmental sustainability. Membrane distillation (MD), driven by thermal-induced vapor pressure difference, being considered emerging economically viable technology treat for water reuse....

The R410A refrigerant blend (GWP = 2088), a near azeotropic and equimass mixture of difluoromethane (R32, GWP 675) pentafluoroethane (R125, 3500), has been included in the HFC phase down road map established worldwide. In this context, recovery value-added R32 from using membrane technology would be breakthrough refrigeration air conditioning sector, given that conventional distillation cannot ...

The separation of air (O 2 /N ) via a polymeric membrane has recently piqued the interest academic researcher as well industrial sector. Because its remarkable characteristics, emerged one innovative and fast growing technology. However, two major problems faced by technology, which hinder growth in commercial sector are, 1): trade-off between permeability selectivity. 2): Maintaining physical ...

It is still a great challenge to prepare high performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) because of the difficulty in finely tuning the compatibility between filler and organic phases. In this work, ZIF-8 nanoparticles hydrophobically functionalized by 5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMBIM) via shell ligand exchange (SLE) reaction were incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix to fabricat...
