the possibility of applying membrane distillation to support the fermentation process was investigated. the capillary polypropylene membranes were assembled in the membrane modules. the studies were carried out using the standard solutions containing the compounds frequently occurring in the broths such as ethanol, citric, acetic and lactic acids, glycerol and 1,3-propanediol. the performance o...

direct contact membrane distillation (dcmd) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. dcmd is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...

carbon membrane can be produced using a wide variety of polymer precursor materials via heat treatment process. a general concept route of precursor selection-preparation-modification-performance analysis platform for the carbon membrane has been proposed to promote the development of carbon membrane material for a wide range of application. the current review considers the recent progress of c...

background and objectives: pomegranate juice (pj) contains large particles that stick to evaporator walls causing off flavors in the concentrate due to burning. microfiltration is used to clarify pj. fouling is a limiting phenomenon that can prevent the industrialization of membrane clarification. changes in the geometry of the membrane module such as using baffles are useful to decrease this p...

This study evaluated the histopathologic changes in the round window niche. , and membrane in cases of chronic suppurative otitis media. The pathologic process was found in all subjects. Fibrocystic or fibrous tissue was most commonly seen, while active granulation was less developed. The round window membrane was thicker and inflamed throughout its layers. Inflammatory invasion of the inne...

Membrane technology is one of the few non-pollutant choices when selecting a treatment process. A membrane with suitable pore size can remove almost all pollutants without using any chemicals. In this research, chromium, zinc and lead were removed from synthetic wastewater by a membrane bioreactor. The results showed that by using a membrane bioreactor, the COD removal efficiency was increased ...
