Water treatment
Nanofiltration membranes (NF) are considered and used extensively in seawater softening, food, textile, and mining industries for the removal of di-and multi-valents to increase RO lifetime by decreasing fouling rates, and chemical cleaning intervals. In this work, blend membranes of...Read more
Membrane technology for the purification of solutions containing cationic surfactants.
(Corresponding) Klimonda A., Kowalska I.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cationic surfactant (Tequat LC90i, TEAQ) removal from aqueous solutions with the use of tubular ceramic ultrafiltration and microfiltration modules. Research included an assessment of the feed solution parameters (surfactant...Read more
Recovery of sulphuric acid and valuable metals (Zn, Cu and REE) from acidic mine waters using nanofiltration
(Corresponding) López J., Reig M., Vecino X., Valderrama C., Gibert O., Cortina J.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Acidic mine waters (AMWs) contains moderate concentrations of sulphuric acid, relatively high concentrations of metals (Al, Fe, Cu and Zn) and minor amounts or rare earth elements (REE). The established management routes for AMW treatment include a neutralization-precipitation step, which implies a...Read more
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
Preliminary study on Cr-rich groundwater treatment by membrane processes

Topic:
Efficient water resources management in cr(vi) impacted water bodies
The aim of this work has been treat Cr- rich groundwaters through membranes processes as alternative to conventional methods. Chromium (Cr) is a dangerous element for environment and human health. Commonly, the highest concentrations Cr are detected in ophiolitic areas where ultramafic 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

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
