In this work we investigate the performance of inorganic membranes in desalination application using a low pressure pervaporation setup. Inorganic membranes were synthesized via a two-step sol–gel catalysed process employing tetraethylorthosilicate as the silica precursor. In addition, non-ligand su

An aromatic polymide hollow fibre membrane designed for a reverse osmosis system of 35,000 ppm total dissolved solids in take water was subjected to a low salinity of around 3000 ppm. The applied pressure and feed water temperature were varied to study their effects on permeation and salt rejection.

During the reactive dyeing of cotton, salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) are placed in a dyebath to aid the exhaustion of various dyes onto the fabric while bases are added to raise the pH from around neutral to pH 11 to achieve fixation. Afterwards, the used dyebath solution, called dyebath spent

Three commercial membranes (NF70, NF90 and TFC-SR) were firstly characterized in terms of pure water flux and the: rejection of uncharged (alcohols and sugars) compounds. Subsequently, the rejection of monovalent (sodium and chloride) and divalent (calcium and sulphate) ions in single (NaC1, CaC12an

Surface modification of nanofiltration cellulose acetate (CA) membranes was carried out by alternating layer-bylayer deposition of acidic chitosan (CHI) and sodium alginate (ALG) as the cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte, respectively. The supporting CA membranes were obtained by a phase separatio

The retention of Na+ and Mg2+ ions in their nitrate solutions was studied in the pH range 0.5–7. Three different Mg concentrations were used. Two nanofiltration membranes (NF 45 and Desal-5 DK) were tested. The NF 45 membrane showed higher retention values for the tested ions. The Mg2+ ions were ver
