A comparative assessment of iron oxide ceramic ultrafiltration membranes fouling by model organic compounds was performed. To characterize this fouling phenomenon, humic acid (HA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and sodium ...

This work deals with the performance of polymeric membranes charged with an ion exchange resin on the ultrafiltration (UF) of an oily suspension. The membranes were prepared by the phase inversion process from polysulfone ...

Several polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes have been made with small quantities of polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) of different molecular weights to increase the permeability without a significant reduction in ...

The work developed discusses the potential use of MBR to treat refinery effluent and operational strategies that may mitigate fouling. At first, MBR performance was evaluated in terms of pollutants removal and fouling ...

Microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes with different degrees of hydrophilicity and structural characteristics from poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA), and polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) in ...

New membranes based on sulfonated polycarbonate (SPC) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were prepared. SPC was obtained by treating polycarbonate (PC) with acetyl sulfate. The ion exchange capacity (IEC) of the sulfonated ...
