Tuning of an advanced control system on a membrane process for tannery wastewater purification and chromium recovery purposes
Marchetti A., (Corresponding) Stoller M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Tannery wastewater represent a hazard to the environment due to its high content of chromium. Conventional methods to purify this wastewater stream are available, but not capable to recover back chromium to the tannery process. Membranes appears to be a promising technology to achieve both targets...Read more

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
Synthesis of self-assembled graphene oxide (GO)/manganese oxide (MnO2) sulfonated-polyethersulfone (SPES) membranes for heavy metal removal from wastewater
Ibrahim Y., Wadi V., Ouda M., Naddeo V., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
As the 21st century continues, water scarcity remains a significant burden to overcome in many regions. The treatment of industrial wastewater has great potential in providing adequate quantities of freshwater. To ensure safe usage of this water, heavy metal ions must be removed to avoid their...Read more
Preliminary study on fluoride removal from contaminated groundwater by nanofiltration
(Corresponding) Fuoco I., Apollaro C., Criscuoli A., De Rosa R., Figoli A.
Topic:
Water treatment
In this work, a commercial nanofiltration (NF) membrane, named SPR 10113, was used for the first time to treat a real F-contaminated groundwater (F= 8.9 mg/L) coming from deep crystalline aquifer of Calabria Region (Southern Italy), in order to verify its efficiency in terms of fluorine rejection...Read more
