The use of the slow sand filtration, better known as ecological filter was tested to removal of anti-inflammatory compounds from water, (i.e. Diclofenac, Naproxen and Ibuprofen). The treatment system consisted of pre-filtration ...

Slow sand filtration is an efficient water treatment technique used for treating surface water with relatively low levels of contamination. Despite the slow sand filtration at pathogen, algae and cyanobacteria removal ...

The crossflow filtration process differs of the conventional filtration by presenting the circulation flow tangentially to the filtration surface. The conventional mathematical models used to represent the process have ...

The following study of the head loss in filters, whether of upstream or downstream flow, is of main importance in the projection and mainly in the operational control of such units in a water treatment plant (WTP). However, ...

Human exposure to nanoparticles is increasingly becoming a concern, including in the workplace, due to urban and industrial development and the increasing use of motor vehicles. Filtration using fibrous filters is among ...

The effects to membrane filtration (using a pilot system with a 1.2 mum prefilter and a 0.65 mum final filter system) on the aromatic profile and phenolic quality of a Cabernet Sauvignon wine was studied. A statistically ...

Models of the filtration phenomenon describe the mass balance in bed filtration in terms of particle removal mechanisms, and allow for the determination of global particle removal efficiencies. These models are defined in ...

Whey is produced during cheese manufacture, some of its constituents are lactose and proteins. In different countries such constituents are separated for use as raw material; some of the processes to separate these ...
