In this paper, a system for efficient removal of carbon dioxide by hollow fiber membranes is proposed. The system is compact, and it is very useful for application in the offshore energy industries. In particular, it is used to removing CO2 from the exhaust of power generation facilities on offshore platforms.The proposed dual membrane contactor contains two types of membranes (polypropylene me...

this is a comprehensive review of the recent progresses made in the field of zeolite membranes. it describes zeolitic materials and methods of membrane fabrication, followed by a summary of applications for gas separation, pervaporation and separation of liquid mixtures. special attention is called to polymer mixed matrix membranes (mmms) and membranes based on metal organic frame works (mofs)....

the efficiency of diazinon (as insecticides) and nitrate (related to nitrogen fertilizer) removal from contaminated water is investigated through nf membrane technique. the effects of nitrate concentration (40-160 mg/l), diazinon concentration (10-1000 µg/l) and ph (5-9) on the efficiency of a commercial polyamide nanofilter membrane at a constant pressure of (800 kpa) are investigated. the res...

plasma membrane h+-atpase is a major integral membrane protein with a role in various physiological processes including abiotic stress response. to study the effect of nacl on the expression pattern of a gene encoding the plasma membrane h+-atpase, an experiment was carried out in a completely random design with three replications. a pair of specific primers was designed based on the sequence o...

This paper presents the design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the deflection of the membrane with measuring the strain in the membrane with emb...
