Overcoming fouling in desalting industrial organic solutions by electrodialysis

Lignocellulose is an abundant source of feedstock and consists of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. Pre-treatment is done to fragment lignin and hydrolyse the hemicellulose and cellulose fractions into simple sugars which is then converted into bioplastics. The pre-treatment generates a mix of sugar solutions, lignin breakdown products and...

Crossflow reversal effect on removal of RO particulate fouling: a comparison of two spacers

Worldwide fresh water scarcity is nowadays becoming a reality rather than a futuristic concern. Non-conventional sources of wastewater are being considered as a solution for this problem, since fresh water sources will not be sufficient to satisfy the world’s water demand in the following years. Extensive research is being done on different...
