The surface structure and properties of a membrane largely determine its in-service performance during filtration process. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hydrophobic is widely used in the separation oily wastewater because mechanical strength, but susceptible to oil fouling, whereas hydrophilic membranes are easily damaged water due their wettability resistant oil. advantages two then combined ...

Abstract To address the poor oil–water separation efficiency and bactericidal properties of existing membranes for treatment industrial oily wastewater discharge, this study designed an in-and-out coating material modifying inner site outer surface porous activated carbon fabric (ACF) using urethane reactions. end, fluorinated polyurethane (F-PU) materials were synthesized perfluoroalkyl alcoho...

We are reporting, what we believe, is the first case of biopsy proven exogenous lipoid pneumonia in an Omani infant. Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is caused by aspiration of oily products .One reason is the traditional practice of giving infants oily products (Ghee) as in our patient.

RATIONALE Higher pulse wave velocity (PWV) reflects increased arterial stiffness and is an established cardiovascular risk marker associated with lower long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake in adults. Experimentally, maternal fatty acid intake in pregnancy has lasting effects on offspring arterial stiffness. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between maternal consumption of oily ...

Rhizoremediation involves the use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to remove organic pollutants from terrestrial environment. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of rhizoremediation through inoculation of hydrocarbon degrading bacterial strains with and without nutrients in the rhizosphere sporadically become contaminated with oily sludge. Bacterial str...

Oily wastewater is an urgent issue that threatens the ecosystem and human health. Superhydrophobic porous materials are widely concerned as promising candidates for effective oil/water separation oil adsorption. However, superhydrophobic still confronted with frustrations such complex preparation processes secondary pollution to environment. biodegradability a relatively simple process more att...

Oil exploration generates produced water that is characterized as hazardous and toxic waste. Produced contains a mixture of various pollutants, including monoaromatic hydrocarbons BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene), compounds are carcinogenic even in small concentrations. In this study, tannin iron complex (TA-FeIII), blended into polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was evaluated for the...

Tranilast (TL) oily gels containing UV-absorbing agents (UV absorber) were prepared, and the effect of the agents against photodegradation of TL was investigated. When 0.1% TL oily gel without UV absorber was exposed to light, TL was photochemically decomposed to the extent of 74.1% of its initial content at the end of the first hour. Although there were differences in the preventive effect on ...
