Abstract Treatment of industrial effluents (EFs) from the polluted wastewater sources using
membrane technologies is an effective and attractive alternative to overcome the …

Spent caustics contain compounds such as mercaptans, sulfides, and phenols. In addition,
spent caustic solutions are highly alkaline and have high chemical oxygen demand. There …

Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is one of the main physico-chemical properties of
surface-active agents, also known as surfactants, with diverse theoretical and industrial …

Appropriate selection of cleaning agent is an important factor to achieve a better cleaning
efficiency and this topic has become an ongoing discussion. This work assesses the impacts …

The car wash wastewater was separated by ultrafiltration. The commercial ultrafiltration (UF)
polyethersulfone (PES) membranes (10 and 100 kDa) were applied. The FTIR analysis …

Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) is a persistent chemical that has been detected globally in the
natural aquatic environment, while the waste discharge of fluoropolymer industry is one of …

A series of copolymers [PCD# s, where# is the weight percentage of dopamine
methacrylamide (DMA) in polymers] containing mussel-inspired hydrophilic dopamine and …

The utilization of bioactive peptides from food-grade raw materials has received increasing
interest, especially for the production of functional foods. Within this study, a combination of …

Membrane filtration is an attractive for laundry wastewater treatment especially when aiming
for detergent and water reuse. However, its performance is largely restricted by membrane …

Surfactants are widely distributed in wastewater at concentrations below the critical micelle
concentration (CMC). Generally, surfactant monomers are smaller than the pore sizes of …
