This work presents an integrated experimental and modeling study of post-combustion CO2 capture using polysulfone hollow-fiber membranes in a three-module «Continuous Membrane Column» cascade. Polysulfone hollow fibers were fabricated by...
This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of a modified membrane cascade operating in “Continuous Membrane Column” mode for selective CO2 capture in combined heat power plants. For the first time, a novel membrane cascade configurati...
The present paper deals with the complex study of CO2 capture from combined heat power plant flue gases using the efficient technological design of a membrane cascade type of «Continuous Membrane Column» for binary gas mixture separation....
Continuous chromatography can surmount the disadvantages of batch chromatography like low productivities and extensive usage of consumables. In this work, a 4-column continuous chromatographic system based on the principle of periodic counter-current...
Extracting ethanol by steam directly from fermented solid-state bagasse is an emerging technology of energy-efficient bioethanol production. With continuous solid-state distillation (CSSD) approach, the vapor with more than 25 wt% ethanol flows out o...
Municipal wastewater has been identified as a potential source of natural phosphorus (P) that is projected to become depleted in a few decades based on current exploitation rates. This paper focuses on combining a bench-scale anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic...
The production of prebiotics like galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) on industrial scale is becoming more important due to increased demand. GOS are synthesized in batch reactors from bovine lactose using the cost intensive enzyme β-galactosidase (&...
The administration of viral vectored vaccines remains one of the most effective ways to respond to the ongoing novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, pre-existing immunity to the viral vector hinders its potency, resulting in a...
An integrated membrane process for treatment of effluents from food additive manufacturing was designed and evaluated on a laboratory scale. The principal focus was water recovery with the possibility of its reuse as potable water. The industrial eff...
Since the inception of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in 1967, the technology has evolved dramatically with important advancements in waveforms and frequencies. One such advancement is Nevro’s Senza® SCS System for HF10, which received Food and Drug a...
In this study, the hybrid biological ion exchange (BIEX) resin and gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process was employed for the treatment of coloured and turbid river water. The primary objective was to investigate the impact of both physical and chemi...
Continuous chromatography has emerged as one of the most attractive methods for protein purification. Establishing such systems involves installing several chromatographic units in series to enable continuous separation processes and reduce the cost...
We will continue to rely on fossil fuel energy generation for at least this century. Reducing our carbon footprint is vital for the welfare of our environment and human health. The province we live in, Saskatchewan, is the second-highest emitter of C...
An iron-binding mung bean protein hydrolysate (MBPH) was prepared using a continuous enzymatic membrane reactor followed by peptide separation on anion-exchange (AEC) and reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) columns. Amino acid sequences of peptides present...
Polyphilic self-assembly leads to compartmentalization of space and development of complex structures in soft matter on different length scales, reaching from the morphologies of block copolymers to the liquid crystalline (LC) phases of small molecul...
Heat stable salts (HSS) formed and continuously accumulated in the amine-based solvents due to solvent degradation and impurities in the feed gas can dramatically change the efficiency of the amine scrubbing process. HSS can be removed by using diffe...
It is well known that elevated phosphate concentrations in water bodies trigger the eutrophication process, posing adverse environmental, health, and economic consequences that necessitate effective removal solutions. Phosphate removal has therefore...
