Photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium in aqueous solutions by TiO₂ PAN nanofibers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
This study was focused on the fabrication and application of titanium dioxide (TiO2)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. TiO2/PAN nanofibers were prepared by the electrospinning process from the mixture of titanium ...
The modification of PVDF hollow fiber membrane via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This work was focused on the fabrication, modification and characterization of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) produced ...
Effects of polysulfone support layer on the performance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The performance of thin film composite (TFC) membranes was correlated with the support layers. Polysulfone (PSF) Support layers with additive ...
Novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrne embedded with biomodal silica nanoparticles for water purification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Modern reverse osmosis (RO)/nanofiltration (NF) membranes are primarily made of thin-film composites (TFC) fabricated through interfacial polymerization ...
Modification of thin film composite (TFC) membrane by incorporation with copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) for antibacterial properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Membrane biofouling has been a challenging problem restricting the application of reverse osmosis (RO) desalination process. Copper is known for its antimicrobial properties and is easily available with low cost. In this ...
