Dairy producers are evaluating membrane systems differently, looking beyond throughput to understand how those systems can ...

The antimicrobial triclosan is widely used in personal hygiene products, textiles and plastics, but when it enters the environment via wastewater, it poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms. A ...

High-performing water filtration systems — necessary for reducing water scarcity — can also reduce cost and energy consumption, a new Northwestern Engineering-led analysis finds. In the new study, ...

Scientists have known for years that membranes can do things such as act as a filter for saltwater. When salty ocean water is moved through a membrane, clean water comes out the other side that can be ...

• BF pretreatment increased the stable flux of GDM from 2.8 to 7.3 L·m-2 ·h-1. • BF pretreatment effectively remove key foulants including POC, biopolymers, and protein-like fluorescent component. • ...

Membranes with microscopic pores are useful for water filtration. The effect of pore size on water filtration is well-understood, as is the role of ions, charged atoms that interact with the membrane.
