BACKGROUND The separation performance of seven polymer membranes for the nanofiltration of sodium lactate in fermentation broth was investigated. Each module was introduced into the test stand, and the system curve was obtained by recording the permeate flow velocity at different pump head levels. Performance benchmarks were good permeate quality, as determined by high permeate flow velocity, h...

In this study, a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Vietnam receiving high-strength with COD of about 30,000 mg/L and various heavy metals from industries was treated by different RO membrane modules order to meet the stringent national discharge standard recover for reuse. The Fenton coagulation pre-treatments were employed based on optimal conditions, which experimentally pre-determined. Fo...

Wound management represents a major clinical challenge on what concerns healing enhancement and pain control. The selection of an appropriate dressing plays an important role in both recovery and esthetic appearance of the regenerated tissue. Despite the wide range of available dressings, the progress in the wound care market relies on the increasing interest in using natural-based biomedical p...

Modern sealing components are used in a wide range of industrial processes. The recent global attention for reducing emission environmentally harmful substances motivates gasket manufacturers to quantify the performance gaskets. We investigate use fiber Bragg grating sensors measuring seating stress on spiral wound gasket. fiber-optic integrated gasket, following particular instrumentation stra...

Synthetic juice clarification was done through spiral wound ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module. Synthetic juice was clarified at two different operating conditions, such as, with and without permeates recycle at turbulent flow regime. The performance of spiral wound ultrafiltration membrane was analyzed during clarification of synthetic juice. Synthetic juice was the mixture of deionized wate...

STUDIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEXTRAN BASED BIONANOCOMPOSITE MEMBRANES FOR WOUND CARE Surabhi Singh Wound repair is a complex process involving systemic and balanced functioning of inflammatory, connective, vascular tissue and epithelial cells. Effective management of wound infection requires prolonged prevention from microbial contamination along with accelerated wound healing and aesthetic cl...

Membrane filtration is employed for water treatment and wastewater reclamation purposes, but membranes alone are unable to remove pollutant molecules and certain pathogens. Photocatalytically active N-doped TiO2 coatings have been deposited by solegel onto 200 nm pore size alumina membranes for water treatment applications using two different methods, via pipette droplets or spiral bar applicat...
