REMOVAL OF TOXIC METAL IONS THROUGH POLYMER INCLUSION MEMBRANES CONTAINING MACROCYCLIC LIGANDS AS CARRIERS
(Corresponding) Nowik-Zajac A., Zawierucha I., Kozlowski C.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
More strict environmental regulations on the discharge of toxic metals require developing various technologies for their removal from polluted streams. The separation of toxic metal ions using immobilized membranes with doped ligands, due to their high selectivity and removal efficiency, increased...Read more

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

Gravity-driven oil/water separation using PVDF-HFP electrospun nanofiber membranes
Mavukkandy M., Ibrahim Y., Almarzooqi F., Naddeo V., Alhseinat E., Karanikolos G., Banat F., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
With increasing industrialization and lenient waste disposal practices, oil-contaminated wastewater has become a significant environmental concern. Oil spills associated with oil exploration and transportation will continue to pose an ecological threat as long as we depend on oil for energy needs...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
