Adsorptive removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution by novel PES/HMO ultrafiltration mixed matrix membrane

Synthesis of robust flexible polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes supported on non-woven fabrics for separation of NOM from water

“…This correlated with the large pores (shown by SEM images) observed for these membranes which allowed water to flow with ease across the membranes. The increase in flux was due to the improvement in membrane porosity and hydrophilicity (Jamshidi Gohari et al, 2013). The membrane flux trend was consistent with the viscosity of the casting solution, since the formation of the membrane is related to the viscosity of the original polymer solution (Zinadini et al, 2014).…”

Design and performance study of hybrid photocatalytic reactor-PVDF/MWCNT nanocomposite membrane system for treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater

“…To date, many scientists have been trying to overcome these issues via a number of approaches such as surface modification, membrane coating, and membrane grafting. Among various approaches, fabrication of nanocomposite membranes seems to be one of the most promising approaches to encounter the membrane fouling issue [22,23], and to enable high selectivity and high flux [24].…”

Retention of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions by filtration through polymer-modified membranes

“…So they can cause severe problems to public health and to the environment. Therefore several technologies have been developed, and are commonly applied to the decontamination of wastewater, including chemical precipitation [1], ion-exchange [2], coagulation-flocculation [3], flotation [4], electrochemical treatments [5], adsorption [6,7] and membrane filtration [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Amongst these technologies, membrane filtration is one of the most promising due to its easiness, low-cost, space saving and high efficiency.…”
