in this work, the effect of presence of the sodium tripolyphosphate (stpp), as an inorganic salt, on improving the performance of polyamide (pa) thin layer membranes has been studied. characterization analyses confirmed the presence of the salt on the whole surface structure of the thin layer. different salt loadings resulted in different fluxes and cu (ii) rejections. the thin layer containing...

The recent development in oil and gas industry increases the production and consumption of oil. The enormous amount of oily wastewater produced is urged to be treated to prevent humanity and environment from being threatened. Membrane technology is an appealing alternative for oily wastewater treatment due to its design simplicity, energy efficiency and environmentally benign approach. In this ...

a thin-layer chromatography method has been developed and evaluated for the separation and determination of lysine and methonine in a mixture of amino acids obtained from acid or enzyme hydrolysis of protein. the solvent systems were (a) ethanol-ether, (b) phenol-water, (c) ethyl methyl ketone-pyridine-distilled water-glacial acetic acid. procedures in all the three stages were in the same dime...

in this assay, the evaluation of lipophilicity of four ace-inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide (hctz) with rp-tlc on cellulose layers was described using three binary solvent systems. the selected ace inhibitors had sufficiently different structures which can indicate the method suitability for their lipophilicity evaluation as the model substances in comparison with hctz. in addition, the linea...

many research studies have been performed on forced convection (active) solar dryers for fruit and vegetables. a short survey of these showed that applying the forced convection solar dryer not only significantly reduced the drying time but also resulted in many improvements in the quality of the dried products. active indirect and mixed-mode thin layer solar drying experiments were conducted o...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are commonly used for sea water desalination to produce fresh water. These membranes are usually prepared using interfacial polymerization. Hydrophobic diamine and water-soluble chloride salt precursor are reacted to form a thin polyamide (PA) separation layer on a porous support [1]. The PA cross-linking density has a...
