The kinetics of Cu(II) transport through a bulk liquid membrane with different membrane materials was investigated in this work. Three types of membrane materials were used: fresh cooking oil, waste cooking oil and kerosene, each of which was mixed with di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid (carrier) and tributylphosphate (modifier). Kinetic models derived from the kinetic laws of two consecutive irre...

Membrane technology has emerged as an attractive approach for water purification, while mitigation of fouling is key to lower membrane operating costs. This article reviews various materials with antifouling properties that can be coated or grafted onto the membrane surface to improve the antifouling properties of the membranes and thus, retain high water permeance. These materials can be separ...

Dyes are an essential group of organic pollutants with a long history harming aquatic life and humans. Prior to disposal, polluted dye wastewater must be adequately treated prevent adverse impacts on persons the environment. Although there several techniques for removal, most them share similar drawback: they generate secondary pollution Membrane separation is highlighted in this article becaus...
