Hollow fiber membranes

The composition and structure of membrane biofouling in water treatment can be studied using specific stains (fluorochromes) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). An image analysis program (CMem) has been developed to quantify parameters describing the biofilm structure on curved membrane s

A supported liquid membrane (SLM) contains organic solvent and organic extractant as one organic phase, and a porous support structure. It has been widely investigated for separation and purification of various chemical compounds. SLM has high permeability and selectivity, being regarded as one of t

The efficient design of a membrane bioreactor for cells culture needs the complete characterization — both experimentally and theoretically — of the transport phenomena for metabolites, catabolites, cell regulatory and immune-related soluble factors. In this work, experiments and theoretical calcula
