A review of nanoparticleU+2010enhanced membrane distillation membranes : membrane synthesis and applications in water treatment Ghent University
Water recovery from hydrolysed human urine samples via direct contact membrane distillation using PVDF/PTFE membrane Ghent University
Dominant factors controlling the efficiency of two-phase flow cleaning in spiral-wound membrane elements Ghent University
Two-phase flow cleaning has been successfully applied to control fouling in spiral wound membrane elements. This study focuses on its experimental optimization using a Taguchi Design of Experiment method (L-25 orthogonal arrays) to elucidate the influence of different factors and to reveal the important one(s) affecting the cleaning efficiency of two-phase flow cleaning. All possible combinations of the factors, i.e. feed type, spacer geometry, ...
Membrane Life Cycle Management: An Exciting Opportunity for Advancing the Sustainability Features of Membrane Separations Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Membrane science and technology is growing rapidly worldwide and continues to play an increasingly important role in diverse fields by offering high separation efficiency with low energy consumption. Membranes have also shown great promise for “green” separation. A majority of the investigations in the field are devoted to the membrane fabrication and modification with the ultimate goals of enhancing the properties and separation performance of ...
Membrane integrity monitoring on laboratory scale : impact of test cell-induced damage on membrane selectivity Ghent University
Defects in the active layer of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes play a crucial role in the passage of virus particles and microbial surrogates through the membrane systems. Prior research indicates that not only defects in the active layer but also a mechanical failure in the membrane module can compromise the performance of full-scale RO spiral wound systems. However, there have been no studies on the microbial passage in coupon-scale testing ...
