Nanofiltration of Pharmaceutically Active and Endocrine Disrupting Compounds as a Function of Compound Interactions with Surface Water Components
This paper discusses the removal of trace concentrations of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and other ?emerging? organic contaminants by nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes. The study investigates the removal by examining interactions with typical components found in surface waters, includ...
Impact of Naturally Occurring DOM, Colloids, and Cation Interactions on Nanofiltration of Pharmaceutically Active and Endocrine Disrupting Compounds
The occurrence, fate and ecotoxicology of emerging organic micropollutants including pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), and personal care products (PCPs) have been of interest in recent years. Nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) have emerged as effective alternatives to conventional water trea...
Algae Dewatering with Different Draw Solutions and Cross Flow Velocities Using Forward Osmosis (FO) Flat Sheet Membrane
Forward osmosis (FO) is an innovative membrane separation technology which has been used in wastewater treatment and food processing, and can be extended to algae dewatering for further bioproduct processes. Experimental trials on algae dewatering using a FO system have already been initiated (e.g., NASA OMEGA project). The FO system can reduce the...
Fouling Control of a Forward Osmosis (FO) Algae Dewatering System using an Electric Field
Energy and water are essential to provide prosperity to any community in terms of municipal, agriculture and industrial areas. Microalgae has gained a lot of attention as a promising biofuel source and may also prove to be effective in the treatment of wastewater and CO2 sequestrations....
