Thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have been widely employed for desalination and water treatment to achieve superior separation performance. TFC membranes having a thin active polyamide (PA) selective layer supported by ...

The bubble point gas transport model is often used to determine the membrane pore size distribution due to its easiness of application. The conventional approach, in which the experimentally obtained flow rate pressure ...

Since 1994, when he published his first scientific paper, Dr. Nidal Hilal has become a role model in the scientific community for his influential research works (articles, books, chapters in books, conferences, patents, ...

In recent years, potable water scarcity has been observed worldwide because of the growing population and industrialization. One of the solutions that might be employed to address this situation is the treatment of ...

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes find extensive use in many fields such as food processing, water treatment, and resource recovery due to their exceptional capacity to selectively separate small solutes and exhibit high ...

Electrospun membranes have a significant share in membrane separation technology, especially in the membrane distillation (MD) process. However, not only hazardous solvents have been used to prepare hydrophobic nanofibrous ...
