Membrane filtration is a major process used in the energy, gas separation, and water
treatment sectors, yet the efficiency of current membranes is limited. Here, we review the use …

Pervaporation (PV) has been considered as one of the most active and promising areas in
membrane technologies in separating close boiling or azeotropic liquid mixtures, heat …

In the present study, acid catalysed cross-linking of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) with varying
concentrations of glutaraldehyde was analyzed and the cross-linked PVAs were utilized as …

Ethylene glycol (EG) is an essential reagent in the chemical industry including polyester and
antifreeze manufacture. In view of the constantly expanding field of EG applications, the …

Ethylene glycol (EG) is an essential chemical and forms mixtures with water or methanol in
the production processes. Its purification is imperative in the production of pure EG from its …

For the fulfilment of increasing global demand and associated challenges related to the
supply of clean-and-safe water, PV has been considered as one of the most attractive and …

BACKGROUND: Low energy and less expensive membrane based separation of acetic acid‐
water mixtures would be a better alternative to conventional separation processes. However …

Double-network poly (vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite membranes (PVAs-DN) were prepared
from interpenetrating of two PVA networks. The sequential method was employed in which …

Semi and full interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels were synthesized by allowing free
radical copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) was chemically modified by crosslink copolymerization of acrylic
acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) in aqueous solution of PVOH and finally crosslinking the …
