In this review, polymeric membrane fabrication techniques for pressure driven membrane
processes and membrane distillation are discussed. The fabrication technique, properties of …

The incomplete rejection of certain pesticides, disinfection by-products, endocrine disrupting
compounds, and pharmaceutically active compounds has been reported during full-and pilot …

Organic micropollutants such as estrogens occur in water in increasing quantities from
predominantly anthropogenic sources. In water such micropollutants partition not only to …

Interest in xylan-rich hemicelluloses (XH) film is growing, and efforts have been made to

Membrane wetting by absorbents leads to an increase in mass transfer resistance and a
deterioration in CO2 absorption performance during the membrane gas absorption process …

In this chapter, membranes are introduced, along with their definitions, fundamentals, and
mechanisms of operation. Also, the problems associated with membranes and their …

The membrane wetting by amine absorbents results in performance deterioration of
