Membranes, Vol. 10, Pages 94: Development of Polydopamine Forward Osmosis Membranes with Low Reverse Salt Flux Membranes doi: 10.3390/membranes10050094 Authors: Pelin Oymaci Kitty Nijmeijer Zandrie Borneman Application of forward osmosis (FO) is limited due to membrane fouling and, most importantly, high reverse salt fluxes that deteriorate the concentrated product. Polydopamine (PDA) is a widely used, easily applicable, hydrophilic, adhesive antifouling coating. Among the coating...

Membranes, Vol. 10, Pages 93: Fabrication and Characterization of Ice Templated Membrane Supports from Portland Cement

Membranes, Vol. 10, Pages 93: Fabrication and Characterization of Ice Templated Membrane Supports from Portland Cement Membranes doi: 10.3390/membranes10050093 Authors: Amanmyrat Abdullayev Paul H. Kamm Maged F. Bekheet Aleksander Gurlo Porous ceramic membranes for aqueous microfiltration and ultrafiltration processes suffer from the high-costs of material and processing. The latter is mainly due to the high-temperature sintering step. In this work, cement-based membrane supports...
