New generation of patterned membranes for water treatment
Asad A., Sameoto D., (Corresponding) Sadrzadeh M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Membrane technology is an energy-efficient separation process that is expected to dominate the water treatment industry. However, the high vulnerability of membranes to fouling has limited the expansion of sustainable and energy-efficient membrane processes. Surface patterning has been proven to be...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
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

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
