The new process follows a similar strategy used by the water industry for desalination. MIT chemical engineers make ...

By attaching hydrophobic groups like cholesterol, which anchor them into the lipid membrane's hydrophobic core, scientists have been able to alter the membrane's properties, such as increasing its ...

Xin-Yu Guo and colleagues introduce a Janus channel of membranes system featuring a novel design that consists of a narrow, confined channel flanked by contrasting hydrophilic and hydrophobic ...

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.

Membrane distillation (MD) is an emerging separation technology utilizing hydrophobic membranes to separate vapor from liquid, making it effective for desalination and wastewater treatment. The ...

Therefore, when the mycelium were eventually peeled off of the polymer films, they took the form of organic, biodegradable membranes which were hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other.

Join us for our latest webinar where we will discuss the properties to consider when selecting a hydrophobic filter membrane for specific market applications. Additionally, you will learn about our ...

Monovalent anion perm-selective membranes (MAPMs) combined with electrodialysis can simultaneously realize the efficient separation of mono-/di-valent anions and the concentration of monovalent salt.
