Due to an emerging scarcity of oil resources and an associated increase of oil prices,
biofuels (eg, ethanol) play an important role in the energy crisis. Fermentation is a common …

Acetonitrile is regarded as a key solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the
volatility in acetonitrile supply in recent years, coupled with its relatively poor environmental …

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 …

In this study, polyacrylic acid (PAA) was grafted onto a polyamide (PA) surface through
ultraviolet-initiated graft polymerization to improve the pervaporative dehydration of aqueous …

Acetonitrile in high-salt wastewater is not only a pollutant and a toxic and hazardous
problem but also an inefficient use of resources. Acetonitrile in high-salt wastewater is …

Using poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as coating material, tartaric acid (Tac) and maleic anhydride
(Mac) as cross-linking agents and the poly (acrylonitrile)(PAN) hollow fiber ultrafiltration …

The main purpose of this study is to develop a sustainable zero liquid discharge
desalination system. Direct contact membrane distillation unit is connected directly to salinity …

Dehydration of ethyl acetate (EAC)–water mixtures by pervaporation (PV) was studied using
a ceramic-supported polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite membrane. The effects of feed …

Waste cooking oil (WCO) as feedstocks for biodiesel production contains high free fatty acid
and water, causing negative impacts on the biodiesel yield and its purity. In this work, three …

Salt-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been proposed in this work for the
separation of the azeotrope of acetonitrile and water (H 2 O). The vapor–liquid equilibrium …
