Homogenization theory captures macroscopic flow discontinuities across Janus membranes

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Kevin Wittkowski

Janus membranes, thin permeable structures with chemical and geometrical asymmetric properties, show great potential in industrial separation processes. Yet the link between the micro- and macro-scale behaviours of these membranes needs to be established r ...

Towards ultrathin metal-organic frameworks membranes for high-performance separation

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shuqing Song, Ranadip Goswami, Heng-Yu Chi, Qi Liu

Research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based membranes has gained a lot of attention in the last decade thanks to the unique and highly versatile chemistry of MOFs, which allows one to synthesize a variety of structural dimensions, topologies, pore si ...

Development of a numerical model to assess the influence of fluid-structure interactions on the dynamic behavior of geomembrane systems in pressure waterways

Simon Randin

The need to maintain and expand hydraulic structures is a major challenge for the coming energy transition, especially in Western countries. One technique already widespread allowing to meet these issues consists in the use of geomembranes to overcome prob ...

A novel interfacial polymerization assisted phase inversion process for the facile fabrication of ion-selective nanofiltration membranes

Zongyao Zhou, Tao Liu, Shijie Hu

Interfacial polymerization (IP) and non-solvent induced phase inversion (NIPS) are the two most commonly used mainstream technologies to fabricate separation membranes. Taking their advantages, we developed a simple, facile and scalable method to integrate ...
