The utilization of seawater for drinking purposes is limited by the high specific energy
consumption (SEC)(kW-h/m 3) of present desalination technologies; both thermal and …

Recent progress in reverse osmosis (RO) technology is not limited to RO membrane
materials, module designs and RO process optimization. It involves prior feed treatment …

Since its inception in the 19 th century, microfiltration (MF) has evolved as a membrane-
based separation technology for treating various effluents and wastewaters. This review …

This paper reviews various functional materials used in desalination. Desalination of the
abundant seawater resource has emerged as a promising technology to meet the current …

The hydroisomerization of n-alkanes over bifunctional catalysts has played an increasingly
important role in the modern petroleum industry due to its evident effects on the …

Ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes have attracted great research interest
to treat dye wastewaters. However, UF membranes suffer from low dye rejection and NF …

Membrane fouling is a major drawback in membrane-based separation processes. In this
work, periodic electrolytic membrane cleaning was used for the first time on ceramic-based …

During the last two decades, electrospinning has become a very popular technique for the
fabrication of nanofibers due to its low cost and simple handling. Nanofiber materials have …

Membrane performance is a region of growing research interest, where new functional
nanomaterials are continually sought. In this study, nano zeolite type-Y was prepared …

Zeolite based membranes have been extensively studied over the past decade for
enhanced reverse osmosis (RO) performances. In this study, poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) …
