In this work the effect of pH on membrane structure, its permeability and retention was
studied. In addition, we studied whether the possible changes in the membrane properties …

The availability of clean water has become a critical problems facing the society due to
pollution by human activities. Most regions in the world have high demands for clean water …

The flotation separation of muscovite from quartz was investigated using mixed sodium
oleate/dodecylamine acetate (NaOL/DDA) collectors. The experiments were conducted on …

There has been a recent surge of interest to mimic the performance of natural cellular
membranes by incorporating water channel proteins-aquaporins (AQPs) into various …

Fouling in membranes used for water treatment has been attributed to the presence of
natural organic matter (NOM) in water. There have been reports recently on the contribution …

Probing anisotropic surface properties of layer-type mineral is fundamentally important in
understanding its surface charge and wettability for a variety of applications. In this study, the …

It is shown that in tangential electrokinetic measurements with porous films the porous
structure makes contribution not only to the cell electric conductance (as demonstrated …

The dispersion and gelation of clay suspensions have major impact on a number of
industries, such as ceramic and composite materials processing, paper making, cement …

To fundamentally understand the electrokinetic behavior of clay minerals, it is necessary to
study the anisotropic surface charge properties of clay surfaces. In this study, two 2: 1 layer …

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) have shown unexpectedly high liquid flux. In
this research, we investigated the effect of functionalization on the performance of …
