Sustainable mining and mineral processing is of paramount importance for producing metals needed our society development. Membrane processes are able to contribute the comprehensive extraction from mined ores, while at same time decrease amounts used water reagents ensure discharge environment wastewater meeting legislation requirements. Membranebased technologies still underused in obtaining a...

in this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (nmp) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. the morphology of fabricated membranes...

in this work, novel thin film composite membranes (tfcs) of poly (ether-6-block amide) (pebax-1657) on a polyvinyl chloride (pvc) ultrafiltration membrane as support were prepared using inclined coating method for co2 separation. investigating the effects of top selective layer thickness formed by controlling the coating angle (15-60°) and polymer solution concentration (5-10 wt.%), and also, t...
