Integration of negatively charged MWCNT-fGO self-assembled nanomaterials into PLA polymeric membranes for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Khalil H., Nassar L., Wadi V., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The integration of nanomaterials in membrane’s matrix aims to improve the membrane’s hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability and water flux, which are vital membrane properties needed to active efficient removal of contaminants. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and...Read more
Novel super-hydrophobic carbon nanotube-based nanomaterial for membrane distillation
Ouda M., Wadi V., Hai A., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Desalination
Membrane distillation (MD) is a low-grade heat-based emerging technology found viable for seawater desalination. Membrane properties such as high hydrophobicity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability are crucial in assessing the compatibility of a membrane for use in this application. In this...Read more

CO2 absorption into 4-diethylamino-2-butanol solution in a membrane contactor under wetting or non-wetting conditions
Li L., Pan Z., Baena-Moreno F., Borhani T., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Natural gas produces a large amount of carbon emissions in the process of mining and processing, on the one hand from the energy use of processing facilities, on the other hand from the way that natural gas is extracted. The adoption of appropriate carbon capture technology is of urgency. The...Read more
Incorporation of negatively charged MWCNT-fGO self-assembled nanomaterials into PLA polymeric membranes for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Khalil H., Nassar L., Wadi V., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The incorporation of nanomaterials in membrane’s matrix aims mainly to improve the properties of the membranes such as hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, water flux. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and functionalized graphene oxide (fGO) have recently attracted attention...Read more
Wetting study of PVDF - carbon nanodiscs membranes for water treatment applications via membrane distillation
(Corresponding) Tournis I., Panagiotaki K., Sideratou Z., Kouvelos E., (Corresponding) Sapalidis A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Since 80’s, membrane distillation has been identified as a promising water treatment process in various wastewater treatments, such as desalination brine, textile, radioactive and oily wastewater.[1] The demand for membranes with stable flux and prolonged lifespan especially in challenging...Read more
