The construction of nanoporous membranes is of great technological importance for various applications, including catalyst supports, filters for biomolecule purification, environmental remediation and seawater desalination(1-3). A major challenge is the sc ...
Nowadays the methods of design, planning and managing of integrated energetic systems which allow an overall view of all possibilities are still embryonic. However, this first phase of the design is crucial if we want to aim at a better resources managemen ...
The selection of an hybrid MSF/RO desalination plant depends on many factors, such as capital costs, electricity consumption, water conversion rate and local requirements. In order to provide the necessary information for the decision process, stand-alone ...

The obtimisation of water networks in a deinking mill has been carried out using Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming. The objective function included the costs of water and chemical usage, and of piping retrofitting. The constraints were stream compositio ...
Triggered by the Kyoto Protocol and by the aggravation of freshwater scarcity, environmental impacts should soon become key decision criteria for the planning of potable water supply projects, especially when advanced systems such as seawater desalination ...
Reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate samples were obtained from a RO-membrane system that uses effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) as feed water for the production of drinking water. A number of different pharmaceuticals (e.g. antibiotics, contrast ...
A simple numerical technique is presented for batch membrane filtration design. The underlying model accounts for variable solute rejection coefficients, and it has a modular structure which permits to easily describe the batch process involving different ...
The three-dimensional structure of GlpF, the glycerol facilitator of Escherichia coli, was determined by cryo-electron microscopy, The 6.9-Angstrom density map calculated from images of two-dimensional crystals shows the GlpF helices to be similar to those ...
The purpose of this work is to develop a decision support tool, which will systemically assess the advantages of hybrid desalination configurations (integration between thermal and membrane technologies) by investigating and optimizing these configurations ...
