Membrane contactors

The combined global impacts of water shortage and energy provide strong impetus to use innovative combinations of technologies to supply sustainably produced high quality water. Recent innovations have focused on the integration of membrane processes with other chemical separation unit processes and

The goal of this research is to evaluate the potential of using membrane based solvent extraction for the recovery of vanillin obtained by bioconversion of ferulic acid in view of the on-line extraction from the bioconversion broth, thus coupling bioconversion and separation. The partition coefficie

One way to produce fuel gases is using bioreactors producing CH4/CO2, H2/CO2 and CH4/H2/CO2 gas mixtures. This method has many advantages; for example, low energy consumption, high ecological efficiency, utilization of organic wastes, accessibility and simplicity of hardware implementation. The resu

Osmotic evaporation is a membrane process that has fascinating advantages over conventional processes for the production of fruit juice concentrates since it has the ability to concentrate solutes to very high levels with minimal thermal or mechanical damage. Our purpose was to compare and analyse t
