Silicon nitride microsieves are microfiltration membranes manufactured with techniques commonly used in the semi-conductor industry for wafer production. These membranes are characterised by the uniform pore size and the high porosity. Furthermore, due to their extremely thin selective layer and the

Recurring droughts throughout the last decades have revealed that water supply is often insufficiently balanced to the demand and thus vulnerable to extreme climatic events and structural or seasonal demand peaks. In the context of a more sustainable water management, water reclamation and reuse app

Endocrine disrupting compounds can affect hormone systems in organisms. However, conventional wastewater treatment plants are not able to remove these substances sufficiently before disposing effluent into the environment. Membrane technology, which is proving to be an effective barrier to these sub
