Vacuum Assisted Process (VAP) membrane systems by Trans-Textil GmbH serve as a gas-permeable resin barrier in the Vacuum Assisted Process and enable reliable removal of trapped air and gas during the ...

Forward osmosis (FO) membrane technology is an emerging separation process that employs the natural osmotic pressure gradient to drive water transport through semipermeable membranes. This methodology ...

A study published in ACS Energy Letters reveals that researchers have developed a semipermeable membrane capable of harnessing this osmotic energy from salt gradients to generate electricity. In ...

Mixtures of oil and water can be efficiently separated by pumping them into thin channels between semipermeable membranes, paving the way to cheaper and cleaner ways to deal with industrial waste.

Researchers in China have unveiled a new, highly effective technique for separating oil and water mixtures. Oil and water mixtures naturally separate over time. However, in industrial processes, this ...

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology integrates biological degradation with membrane filtration to provide an efficient and compact system for wastewater treatment. By combining activated sludge ...

An improved membrane (yellow line) dramatically increased the amount of osmotic power harvested from salt gradients, like those found in estuaries where salt water (left tank) meets fresh water (right ...

Solar electricity is produced almost entirely by panels, or modules, constructed with light-absorbing cells made from silicon. Silicon is the industry standard because it is reliable and inexpensive, ...

Scientists describe the design and construction of artificial membrane channels, engineered using short segments of DNA. The DNA constructions behave much in the manner of natural cell channels or ...
