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...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of fullerene on chemical properties of naphazoline drug in   water by density functional theory (dft) methods.   materials and methods: naphazoline belongs to the imidazoline class of sympathomimetics.   the present study on naphazoline drug and its fullerene connected form were carried out using   computerized calculations of gaussian program in b3lyp/6-31g leve...

Cocurrent spontaneous imbibition (COCSI) of an aqueous phase into matrix blocks arising from capillary forces is an important mechanism for petroleum recovery from fractured petroleum reservoirs. In this work, the modeling of countercurrent imbibition is used to develop the appropriate scaling equations. Considering the imbibition process and the water and oil movement respectively as the wet p...

chitosan/polyethersulfone (cs/pes) composite membrane was prepared from casting chitosan solution on polyethersulfone substrate membrane. the substrate membrane was prepared by phase inversion technique using polyethersulfone (pes) and dimethylacetamide (dmac) as solvent with and without the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp) as pore-forming agent. the effects of the composition of the c...

A series of vanadium-substituted Dawson-structure POM-type ionic liquids, [TEAPS]7P2W17VO62 and [TEAPS]9P2W15V3O62, bearing sulfo-group grafted ammonium (TEAPS) cations and Dawson-type polyoxoanions have been formed which are reversible-thermal-response type gels. These gel-type compounds exhibit a phase transition from a quasi-solid gel phase to an isotropic sol phase. What's more, this series...

crown ethers 12-crown-4 (12c4), benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), 18-crown-6 (18c6), nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (nb18c6) dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db18c6) and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (dc18c6), dissolved in dichloromethane, are able to form oxonium-ion complexes in contact with aqueous sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions. this ability allows the transfer of cr(vi) oxanions from the acid media, through an orga...

Chitosan/polyethersulfone (CS/PES) composite membrane was prepared from casting chitosan solution on polyethersulfone substrate membrane. The Substrate membrane was prepared by phase inversion technique using polyethersulfone (PES) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent with and without the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as pore-forming agent. The effects of the composition of the c...

We report a simple and convenient method for fabricating ordered porous structure in a polymeric thin film. A temporarily stabilized water-in-oil emulsion, where aqueous droplets were dispersed in the medium of polymer-organic solvent solution, was utilized for the preparation of porous structure. The water-in-oil emulsion was simply prepared by sonicating the mixture of water and polymer-organ...

In this study, selenium was recovered from an industrial dust. After the purification process, the researchers were able to prepare selenium micro powder. The objective of this study was to prepare selenium nano particles by water solution phase method from the micro powders. The results showed that selenium micronized powder and nano particles had high purity. The obtained nanoparticles were t...
