results the mean kt/v was 1.27 ± 0.28 in high-flux and 1.10 ± 0.32 in low-flux membrane which, these differences were statistically significant (p = 0.017). the mean of urr was 0.65 ± 0.09 in high-flux and 0.61 ± 0.14 in low-flux membrane, which these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.221). patients and methods forty hemodialysis patients participated in this cross-over clin...

comnode classification within membrane residue curves (m-rcms) currently hinges on lyapunov’s theorem and therefore the computation of mathematically complex eigenvalues. this paper presents an alternative criterion for the classification of nodes within m-rcms based on the total membrane flux at node compositions. this paper demonstrates that for a system exhibiting simple permeation behaviour...

In the current research, ABS-co-PEG nanofiltration membrane was prepared by solution casting technique using N, N dimethyl acetamide as solvent. The effect of PEG concentration as additive in the casting solution on membrane flux, salt rejection, phase inversion time, water content, membrane porosity, membrane tensile strength and fouling was studied. Also the eff...

the role of polymeric additives such as pvp and peg is studied with respect to the morphology of pes porous layer as a sublayer of nanofiltration composite membranes based on pes/pa. results show that by phase inversionprocess of quaternary systems comprised of four components of polymer/solvent/non-solvent/additive and the diffusion of intertwined polymers some changes occur in membrane morpho...

background several studies have been carried out to evaluate the effects of dialysis on o2 saturation. while the dialysis procedure may lead to hypoxia under different circumstances, there are few studies available on the effects of membrane type on o2 saturation in these patients. objectives this study was to appraise the effects of high and low flux membrane on pulse oxymetery in dialysis pat...

Porous surface modified polyvinylidene ï‌‚uoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes are fabricated through a dry-wet phased inversion process. Surface modifying macromolecules (SMM) (1 wt. %) are used as additives in the spinning dope. The performance of the surface modified membrane in contactor application for CO2 stripping from water is assessed through the fabricated gas–liquid membrane contacto...

direct contact membrane distillation (dcmd) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. dcmd is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...

the effect of membrane molecular weight cut off (mwco) at three levels (10, 20 & 50 kd) on dynamic behavior of permeate flux (jp), hydraulic resistances (total hydraulic resistance, rt; reversible fouling resistance, rrf; irreversible fouling resistance, rif and membrane hydraulic resistance, rm) and milk solutes rejection (protein, rp; fat, rf; lactose, rl; minerals, rm and total solids, r...

beer is the most consumed beverage after tea, carbonates, milk and coffee in the world and it continues to be a popular drink. one of the important reason for its popularity is that beer is a drink with a pleasant flavor, an attractive color and also because of its clarity. so, membrane separation technology has become widely used in the food processing industryto attain these characteristics.a...
