Solvent Tolerant Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis membranes for the purification of industrial aqueous streams
To overcome that the presence of solvents in water streams lowers membrane performance hindering their implementation in industry, new solvent tolerant polymer-grafted ceramic nanofiltration membranes were synthesised and tested.
Organic solvent nanofiltration membranes on low cost ceramic supports (COSMOS)
Een significant deel van het energiegebruik in de procesindustrie wordt gebruikt voor scheidingen. Membraantechnologie heeft de potentie om de huidige inefficiënte distillatieprocessen te vervangen of aan te vullen en hiermee...
