Bio adsorbents have received tremendous attention due to their eco-friendly, cheap and non-toxic nature. Recently, bio-adsorbent-based membranes been frequently employed for water treatment. The work reports the preparation of a novel adsorbent membrane from hierarchical zeolite, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose agar. fabricated was characterized spectroscopically microscopically with...

Polyethersulfone-sulfonated polyethersulfone (PES-SPES)/NaY zeolite/nylon sandwich structure membranes were prepared and used to adsorb Cu2+ from water. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm, dynamic experiment, reusability discussed. experimental data showed that the Langmuir isotherm model, Dubinin–Radushkevich (D-R) pseudo-first-order kinetic model can well represent of on membrane, indicating a...

Introduction Much effort has been directed towards the development of advanced membrane-based separation technologies to facilitate the deployment of sustainability into industrial production processes. By supporting sustainable development through knowledge and creation of dissemination, innovation goals can be revisited and new targets can be set. Currently, an integrated approach towards sus...

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average...

In this work, low-cost and high permeation NaA zeolite membrane was successfully prepared on kaolinite support by in-situ crystallization using secondary growth method. The effect of synthesis conditions including temperature time crystallization, water ratio studied aiming to improve the quality performance membrane. thoroughly characterized many techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning ...

In the Introduction section of this Research Article, description on membrane geometry was incorrect. The first sentence fourth paragraph in section, “Herein we prepared high-silica CHA zeolite membranes ceramic hollow fiber substrates for Kr/Xe separation.” should be revised to read disk This change does not affect interpretation data and conclusions, but guarantees a consistent with other sec...

Novel nanocomposites consisting of a water-soluble acrylamide-based photopolymer and colloidal zeolite nanoparticles of zeolite Beta and zeolite A were prepared. The interactions between the photopolymer components and zeolite nanoparticles in the photopolymerizable nanocomposites were characterized for the first time by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance and visible spectroscopy. It was found th...

UNLABELLED The influence of natural zeolite on biogenic amines (BAs) and ammonia (AMN) production by eight common gram negative and positive foodborne pathogens (FBP) were investigated in histidine decarboxylase broth (HDB). Presence of 1% zeolite in the HDB resulted in significantly higher AMN production. Histamine (HIS) production by gram positive bacteria was as low as 0.5 mg/L, whereas Esch...

A preferentially oriented mordenite membrane was successfully prepared on a seeded porous a-alumina support. Characterization results of XRD (X-ray diffractometer) and FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscope) revealed that evolutionary selection might predominantly contribute to the formation of the sharply oriented mordenite membrane. The necessary conditions under which evolutiona...
