The occurrence of emerging or newly identified contaminants in our water resources is of continued concern for the health and safety of consuming public. The existing conventional water treatment plants were not designed for these unidentified contaminants. The endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs)

This work aims to provide a detailed analysis of the heat transfer in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). The influence of mass transfer on heat transfer flux was identified in the feed thermal boundary layer, across the membrane and through the permeate thermal boundary layer. A mathematic

Electron spin resonance (ESR) technique was used to study cellulose acetate (CA) membranes for reverse osmosis (RO) and polyethersulfone (PES) membranes for ultrafiltration. TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy – free radical) was used as a spin probe that was brought into the membranes by im
