Membranes, Volume 15, Issue 2

As the demand for sustainable water and wastewater management continues to rise in both desalination and industrial sectors, there is been notable progress in developing Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) systems. Membrane...

Membrane pore wetting remains a significant challenge to achieving the stable operation and commercialization of membrane distillation processes. This study quantitatively assessed membrane surface hydrophobicity to investigate its impact on the perf...

Membrane contactors have proved to be effective for recovering ammonia from wastewater by absorbing it into a trapping solution. This study compares the performance of sulfuric acid and citric acid as trapping solutions in a pilot-scale plant for rec...

Membrane processes are a reality in a wide range of industrial applications, and efforts to continuously enhance their performance are being pursued. The major drawbacks encountered are related to the minimization of polarization concentration, fouli...

The production of green hydrogen requires renewable electricity and a supply of sustainable water. Due to global water scarcity, using seawater to produce green hydrogen is particularly important in areas where freshwater resources are scarce. This s...

Efficient dye/salt separation poses a great challenge to nanofiltration (NF) membrane technology in the desalting sector of the dye synthesis industry. In this study, we fabricated a novel loose polyester NF membrane via an interfacial polymerization...

In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate the effects of salinity (NaCl) and temperature (25 °C and 80 °C) on the wettability of droplets on a realistically modeled hydrophobic PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)...

Various factors need to be considered in process design optimization to implement the complex processes of CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Here, bi-objective optimization of single-stage CO2 membrane separation was performed for two eva...

Salinity gradient power (SGP) technologies, including pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED), have the potential to be utilized for the purpose of harvesting energy from the difference in salinity between two water streams....

The urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), has led to intensive research into novel techniques for synthesizing valuable chemicals that address climate change. One technique that is becoming increasingly im...
