Extremely high removals of total suspended solids and oil grease were obtained when olive mill wastewaters filtered using new silicon carbide tubular membranes. These membranes used at constant permeate flux to treat real pilot scale. The filtration conditions evaluated optimized in terms the selection maintenance strategies employed-backpulsing backwashing-in order reduce fouling formation. results reveal that combination backpulses backwashes helps maintain flux, avoids transmembrane...
BACKGROUND Immobilization of TiO2 photoactive nanoparticles on a nanofiltration membrane without loss permselectivity properties is currently challenge. In this study, immobilization ceramic commercial surface by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering was addressed. The best compared with an unmodified and modified generic chemical–physical method in terms photocatalytic properties. RESULTS Magnetron able to achieve similar activity the method, where Evonik P25 were used, while...
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are common gynecological conditions that affect millions of women reproductive age. Both have a significant impact on quality life associated with symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, infertility menstrual changes. This review article looks at advances in early diagnosis, highlighting the role imaging tests, ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging, biological markers management these conditions. It also explores new therapeutic approaches, including...
The combination of photocatalysis and membrane filtration in a single reactor has been proposed, since the photocatalytic treatment may degrade pollutants retained by reduce fouling. However, polymeric membranes can be susceptible to degradation UV radiation free radicals. In present study, five commercial were exposed ultraviolet (UV) before after applying sol–gel coating with TiO2 nanoparticles. Membrane stability was characterized changes hydrophilicity as well analysis soluble substances...
This study evaluates the efficiency of nanofiltration to remove pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from drinking water sources with different compositions (groundwater, spring water, surface after sedimentation) as well main mechanisms governing rejection these compounds. All compounds were highly removed matrices due strong hydrophobic interactions between membrane. Lower variable rejections obtained for in natural matrices. Atrazine was found be independent matrix...
Spent caustic effluents are very challenging due to their hazardous nature in terms of toxicity as well extreme pH (approximately 12-14). has presented a challenge for wastewater treatment refineries, its composition rich mercaptans, sulfides and other aromatic compounds. To address such problems, membrane filtration was studied using real from Sines Refinery, Portugal. The present study attempts assess the potential spent with nanofiltration (NF) polymeric ceramic membranes, assessing life...
Along with rapid social development, the use of insecticides and caffeine-containing products increases, a trend that is also reflected in composition surface waters. This study focused on phototreatment water containing three neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin) caffeine. Firstly, radiation absorption target pollutants effect matrix components were evaluated. It was observed maximum peaks appear at wavelengths ranging from 246 to 274 nm, did not affect efficiency...
