An international collaboration led by Kobe University researchers has successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic (*1) membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and ...

The limited freshwater sources and the ease of water pollution necessitate efficient treatment systems. Membranes are commonly employed as filters and quality control materials in water treatment ...

In the new study, researchers performed a high-level analysis of membrane filtration systems to evaluate cost, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with desalination and ...

Crossflow (or tangential flow) filtration, in which the feed liquid passes both parallel and perpendicular to the membrane, allowing both retentate and permeate to be collected. Typical applications ...

Biological membranes make life possible. Proteins recruited to the lipid bilayers of cell membranes are pivotal in sensing environmental changes, establishing polarity, and regulating division. But ...

As we shift toward more sustainable fuels, natural gas and biogas, which mainly contain methane (CH4), have become important sources of energy and raw materials for chemical production. However, these ...

Scientists develop a new method of synthesizing a promising membrane with superior performance during carbon dioxide removal from industrial emissions. As part of the efforts to meet the net zero ...
