With the recent emergence of endocrine disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (EDC/PPCPs) as an important potable drinking water and reclaimed wastewater quality issue, our study has investigated the removal of EDC/PPCPs of 27 compounds by nanofiltration (NF) and ultrafilt

Humic substances (HS) are amorphous organic macromolecules that are responsible for the color of natural water and wastewater effluents. They play an important role in the formation of disinfection by-products. The ultrasonic process is applied as a treatment method to investigate its effect on the

Performances of electromembrane systems were investigated for removal of the hardness materials in a tap water. Six cells of ED, EDR, and EDIR systems with an electrode area of 12.5 cm ´ 8.0 cm were operated. The results showed scaling formation due to water dissociation on the surface of cation exc

The filtration results from microporous tube of nominal porous size of 0.4 µm presented

Experimental runs on a pilot plant were performed to check the feasibility of the optimization method for batch membrane processes previously developed by the authors [1]. The results obtained from the pilot plant confirms that the adopted approach, that is to set a constant permeate flux rate equal

Solar powered membrane bioreactor for fuel gases production is currently under development. It is shown that combination of aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors with active membrane
