Desalination of high-salinity water by membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-12)This study deals with the desalination of high-salinity water using membranes by pervaporation. The membrane performance was characterized with water flux and salt rejection. It was shown that a water flux of 1.6 kg/m²h ... -
Development of self-assembled polyelectrolyte membranes for pervaporation applications
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Electrostatic self-assembly is a simple, yet versatile and environmentally friendly technique. This technique has been widely used in different areas and recently it has also been used to make nano-structured separating ... -
Graphene Based Membranes for High Salinity, Produced Water Treatment by Pervaporation Separation
(University of Waterloo, 2023-03-13)Petroleum industries generate huge volumes of wastewater that is associated with oil and gas during extraction, known as produced water. It accounts for 98% of the amount extracted, and comprises diverse pollutants of ... -
Intrinsic Properties of Poly(Ether-B-Amide) (PEBAX®1074) for Gas Permeation and Pervaporation
(University of Waterloo, 2011-06-14)Poly(ether-b-amide) (Pebax® grade 1074) is a waterproof breathable block copolymer containing soft poly(ethylene oxide) and rigid polyamide 12 segments. Its intrinsic gas permeabilities to nitrogen, oxygen, methane, helium, ... -
Polydopamine-Based Thin Film Composite Membranes for Pervaporative Concentration of Potassium Acetate Solution
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-19)Potassium acetate (KAc) is a valuable chemical product due to its widespread application in multiple fields. During the production of KAc, the concentration of dilute KAc solution is a vital pre-treatment procedure to ... -
Recovery of Volatile Aroma Compounds by Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2024-05-03)This research investigates the potential application of poly(ether block amide) (PEBA) membranes for the separation of volatile aroma compounds from wine and the effect of non-volatile components on the separation performance ... -
Reverse Osmosis Desalination and Hybrid Membrane Processes for Brine Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-11)Waste from seawater reverse osmosis desalination processes is commonly referred to as brine which is one of the obstacles creating environmental and economic inefficiencies. The objective of this work is to simulate the ... -
Separation of Phenols and Aniline from Water Streams using Poly(ether-block-amide) Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-14)Phenols and aniline are aromatic compounds in which a hydroxyl group and amine group are attached to the benzene ring, respectively. Both are common organic pollutants in a wide range of effluents from such industries as ... -
Thin film composite membranes via layer-by-layer assembly for pervaporation separation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-06)The aim of this study was to develop LbL membranes based on polyethyleneimine and graphene oxide (PEI/GO) and to investigate them for three different applications, namely the pervaporative desalination of high-salinity ...
