The authors investigated the rejection of six synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) in a potable
water source by a nanofiltration membrane softening process. Each SOC was studied …

Reverse osmosis (RO) rejection is strongly influenced by the distribution of solute between
the membrane and solvent phases. For this reason, we examined the partition coefficients of …

Reverse Osmosis technology has proven to be technically efficient, cost effective and
pollution controlling process for the renovation of different municipal wastewater streams. A …

Biomass conversion to organic products is expected to be a core technology for the future
sustainable society. Still, published studies show that the energy cost and environmental …

Reverse osmosis separations of phenol (9.4 to 108 ppm), p‐cresol (108 ppm), and p‐
chlorophenol (129 ppm) were studied using Loeb‐Sourirajan‐type porous cellulose acetate …

A view of the science of reverse osmosis on the basis of the preferential sorption-capillary
flow mechanism is presented. Preferential sorption at the membrane-solution interface is a …

Cellulose-acetate-grafted membranes were prepared using.. gamma..-irradiation technique.
These membranes were successfully tested for alcohol separation within a concentration …

This overview is concerned with the use of certain dyes (perichromic indicators, hereafter
designated as “probes”) in order to determine the properties of cellulose, its solutions and …

Using a modified form of the Born expression for the free energy of ion‐solvent interaction, to
both the bulk solution phase and the membrane–solution interface, a parameter is obtained …

A physicochemical parameter, represented by the symbol Σs*, based on molar solubility in
water and molar attraction constants of Small, has been developed to express quantitatively …
