The direct utilisation of side streams from membrane processing and evaporation is great potential interest for dairies to reduce water consumption. In an analytical screening 89 industrially obtained streams, samples varied in pH conductivity broad ranges 4.22 7.56 0.001 0.949 Siemens per meter, respectively. Detailed compositional data the enabled assessment their applicability as diafiltrati...

Giant lipid vesicles (GVs) are emerging models for investigating the properties and reactivity of cell-like microcompartments, providing useful information about plausible protocellular structures in primitive times, as well as for the modern synthetic biology goal of constructing the first artificial cell from its reconstituted and partly modified components. Here we explore a novel methodolog...

Due to climate change and anthropogenic pressure, freshwater availability is declining in areas where it has not been noticeable so far. As a result, the demands for alternative sources of safe drinking water effective methods purification are growing. A solution worth considering treatment rainwater by microfiltration. This study presents results selected analyses runoff, collected from roof s...

Materials Polypropylene microfiltration membranes were obtained from Membrana GmbH (Germany) and Beijing Normal University (China), respectively. One was prepared by thermally induced phase separation with mean pore size of 0.2 μm and porosity of 75%, another was prepared by biaxially orientation with mean pore size of 0.20.02 μm and porosity of 45%. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) microfiltr...

The clean water treatment process changes the physical, chemical, and biological properties of so that it meets requirements for use as drinking or daily needs. purpose this research is to analyze performance ceramic membranes in processing from Kelekar River into using an environmentally friendly microfiltration–adsorption–ceramic membrane integrated process. was carried out January April 2022...

Membrane parameters characteristic for the study of electrolyte solutions across microporous membranes such as salt permeability, ion transport numbers and membrane electrical resistance have been determined for a ceramic microfiltration membrane by measuring salt diffusion, membrane potential and impedance spectroscopy (IS), respectively. In order to see the effect of ion charge and concentrat...

This article presents an experimental investigation of OPW treatment for oil removal by integration of two processes: coalescer bed and microfiltration membranes (MF). The main goal is to reach an effluent quality good enough for injection, discharge or reuse in surface activities. The objective of processes combination is to overcome operational problems and limitations that both processes pre...

We investigated effects of microfiltration (MF) on heat transfer fouling tendencies of thin stillage. A stainless steel MF membrane (0.1 micron pore size) was used to remove solids from thin stillage. At filtration conditions of 690kPa, the MF process effectively recovered total solids from thin stillage. Thin stillage was concentrated from 7.0% to 22.4% solids with average permeate flux rates ...
