The adsorption and transport of molecules or ions in the confined space of microporous
materials often reveal properties not seen in either dense bulk or microporous materials. The …

Background Essential oils and their components have wide use in many areas of industry
(chemicals, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals), beyond presenting potential to be used …

This work developed a novel self-healing tight UF membrane based on damages to
membrane during operation and cleaning via blending AMPS-PANI into the membrane …

Pervaporation (PV) is an emerging membrane technology for liquid separations due to its
small carbon footprint. Recently, a large number of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have …

Lignin is a widely used adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions from water. Lignin can be
extracted from black liquor and its inert surface properties limit its adsorption performance. In …

Based on the dye/salts separation efficiency and membrane injury caused by serious
pollution of dye/salts wastewater, this study constructed a 2D tight ultrafiltration membrane …

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are a new type of polymer material with unique
microporous structure and have been widely applied in gas separation. In recent years …

To improve the process of ethanol dehydration, asymmetric chitosan membranes were
prepared and applied in the pervaporation process. A porous structure was obtained by …

By 2050, the global population will already have multiplied by 40-50 percent. In parallel,
there is a keen interest in water treatment processes in order to accommodate the increasing …

The objective of this study was to develop non-supported and PET-supported chitosan
membranes that were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, then evaluate their physical …
