Using liquid membrane and, in particular, supported liquid membrane (SLM) is a novel method of separation in comparison to other methods such as adsorption, extraction and ion exchange. SLM is a combination of simultaneous extraction and disposal whose high efciency and capability is proven by many studies. So far, many researchers have utilized SLM in various scientifc...

Inorganic fouling is one of the critical operational issues in reverse osmosis membrane. Few researches investigated effects of membrane surface characteristics on inorganic fouling and on anti-scaling techniques although the fouling occurs on the membrane surface. The objective of this paper was to examine whether different characteristics of deposition of calcium carbonate solids would occur ...

proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfcs) are electrochemical devices that show the highest power densities compared to the other type of fuel cell. in this work, nanocomposite membranes used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells as poly(vinyl alcohol)/la2ce2o7 (pva-lc) with the aim of increasing the water uptake and proton conductivity. glutaraldehyde (ga) was used as cross linking agent ...

The desalination of seawater using reverse osmosis membranes is an attractive solution to global freshwater scarcity. However, membrane performance reduced by (bio)fouling. Membrane autopsies are essential for identifying the type fouling material, and applying corrective measures minimize fouling. Information from full-scale guiding improved plant operations scant in formal literature. In this...

A new method is developed to enhance the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by interior modification of an inorganic nano-porous particle. Ship-in-a-bottle (SIB), as a novel synthesis strategy, is considered to encapsulate a polyaza macrocyclic Ag-ligand complex into the zeolite Y, which is resulted in a new host-guest nano-composite. It is consequently incorporated into...

an iodide ion-selective pvc membrane sensor based on copper (π)-bis-nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mv per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol l-1,...

a novel potentiometric ion-selective pvc membrane sensor for analysis of atorvastatin (at) in pharmaceutical preparations based on atorvastatin-(tetraphenyl borate), (at-(tpb)2) as sensing element, tetraphenyl borate as additive and tris-2-ethyl-hexyl phosphate (top) as plasticizer solvent was prepared. the electrode shows a good nernestian response over the concentration range of 0.09–5586 µg ...

Membrane-permeable and impermeable inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase have been used to assess the roles of extracellular and intracellular carbonic anhydrase on the inorganic carbon concentrating system in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Acetazolamide, ethoxzolamide, and a membrane-impermeable, dextran-bound sulfonamide were potent inhibitors of extracellular carbonic anhydrase measured with intact c...

background: leachatecontaining high levels of organic pollution with ammonia, halogenatedhydrocarbons, heavy metals and inorganic salts. among the various methods fortreating leachate, has been developed membrane processes so that a morebiological process of membrane processes is used for separation of solid -liquid. the aimof this study was to evaluate the efficiency of membrane bioreactor eff...
