membrane technology is used to separate water or solvents from salts or pollutants. this technique could be used for water treatment. for using of polyether sulfone (pes) hollow fiber membranes in water treatment processes, the pes hollow fiber membranes were prepared by dry-wet spinning method and heated in an oven at: 120°c, 150°c and 180°c. the effect of heating on performance of membranes w...

In this work, ceramic hollow fiber supported polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite membranes were developed by dip-coating PDMS layer on the surface of macroporous ceramic hollow fiber support. By controlling the properties of polymer solution and ceramic hollow fiber, high-quality ceramic hollow fiber supported PDMS composite membranes were fabricated for pervaporation (PV) recovery of biobuta...

Pervaporation membrane technology plays an important role in production of renewable bio-fuels. To improve the separation performance of polymeric membranes, an effective approach is development of mixed-matrix membranes containing high-performing fillers such as metal-organic frameworks. Towards practical application, hollow fiber could be an ideal substrate for mixed-matrix composite membrane...

In this study, a time-dependent 2D axisymmetric model of a multilayer hollow fiber composite membrane for gas separation is proposed. In spite of the common multilayer membranes, which a dense layer coated on a porous support layer and subjected into the feed stream, here, the porous support is exposed to the feed gas. In this regard, the governing equations of species transport are developed f...

a membrane bioreactor (mbr) system based on a dead-end immersed hollow fiber membrane and filamentous fungus aspergillus oryzae were used for treatment of baker’s yeast wastewater. the fungus was adapted to the wastewater in the bioreactor for two weeks before starting the continuous process. average organic loading rate of 4.2 kg cod/m3.d was entered the bioreactor. mbr system was able to redu...

In this work, poly (ether-block-amide) (PEBA)/ceramic hollow fiber (HF) composite membranes with high flux were prepared by dip-coating the ceramic hollow fiber with PEBA polymer solution for pervaporation (PV). The membrane fabrication was optimized by finely tailoring the coating parameters such as the viscosity and concentration of PEBA coating solution, which made the pervaporation flux as ...
