In direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), methanol crossover is a major issue which has
reduced the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) for energy generation. In …

Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is one of the key technologies that largely
contributes to the global oil and gas production. However, the sustainable growth of this …

In this study, novel polysulfone (PS) membranes blended with Arabic Gum (AG) as pore
forming agent were prepared via phase inversion technique. The performances of the newly …

Capsaicin-mimic materials are promising candidates for antifouling membrane fabrication.
However, the membrane fabrication is usually complicated and the long-term operation of …

Lignin is the second most abundant and inexpensive natural biopolymers on earth. In this
work, lignin/polyacrylonitrile composite fibers were prepared by wet-spinning method. A …

Enhancement of membrane permeability at no detriment of its other performances, eg,
selectivity, is a goal-directed objective in membrane fabrication. A novel antioxidant DES …

Membranes are at the heart of hemodialysis treatment functions to remove excess metabolic
waste such as urea. However, membranes made up of pure polymers and hydrophilic …

This study evaluated the physical, mechanical, barrier properties, and transition
temperatures of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) films with embedded zeolitic imidazolate …

In this study, three nonwoven fabrics were used as supports to form thin film composite
membranes for forward osmosis (FO) applications. Lignin additive was added to the …

Protein existence in wastewater is an important issue in wastewater management because
proteins are generally present as contaminants and foulants. Hence, in this study, we …
