Membrane Distillation Treating a Petrochemical Reverse Osmosis Concentrate

(Corresponding) Venzke C., Giacobbo A., Rodrigues M., Bernardes A.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
This study investigated the applicability of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) process for the treatment of a petrochemical industry effluent, intending to recover water from the concentrate produced by reverse osmosis (RO). In DCMD, the experiments were accomplished with a feed and...Read more

Hybrid zero liquid discharge (ZLD) membrane/chemical process for the treatment of oil sands produced water

Mohammadtabar F., (Corresponding) Khorshidi B., Hayatbakhsh A., (Corresponding) Sadrzadeh M.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
In this study, the applicability of a hybrid chemical/membrane process for the treatment of the boiler blow-down (BBD) water from steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operation was explored. For the chemical pre-treatment prior to the membrane filtration, another waste stream of SAGD, i.e., ion...Read more

Highly efficient anti-fouling electro-conductive membranes fabricated by reduced Graphene Oxide-Polyaniline (rGO-PANI) laminates

Karkooti A., Rastgar M., (Corresponding) Sadrzadeh M.
Topic: 
Water treatment
As an obstacle against the widespread application of membranes in larger scales, fouling via different materials could cause a severe decline in water permeation. Herein, we fabricated a novel mechanically-stable electro-conductive membrane by simple pressure-assisted laminating of reduced Graphene...Read more

Anaerobic MBR technology for treating municipal wastewater at ambient temperatures

(Corresponding) Plevri A., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
An innovative way to treat municipal wastewater and produce energy at the same time is anaerobic treatment. Anaerobic processes are traditionally used for high-strength wastewater or municipal sludge treatment and only recently have been applied for the treatment of low strength municipal...Read more

Novel Polyethersulfone (PES) Alpha-Zirconium Phosphate (α-ZrP) Ion Exchange Mixed Matrix Membranes for Effective Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater

ABDULKARIM E., IBRAHIM Y., (Corresponding) HASAN S., NADDEO V., BANAT F.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
In this study, novel polyethersulfone (PES) alpha-zirconium (α-ZrP) ion exchange mixed matrix membranes were fabricated via phase inversion method using nano-sized alpha-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP-n) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersant nano-additives in the dope solution preparation. The...Read more
