Short-side-chain Hyflon® perfluorinated ionomer based membrane was investigated as electrolyte for high temperature direct methanol fuel cells. A fuel cell performance approaching 300 mW cm–2 was achieved at 140°C in the presence of 1 M methanol and air feed. Stable electrochemical performance was a

In the enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose, the enzyme b-galactosidase transfers a galactose moiety to an acceptor containing a hydroxyl group. If this acceptor is a water molecule, galactose is liberated (hydrolysis). When a sugar moiety acts as the acceptor, galactosyl-oligosac-charides (GOS) are form

Industrial concentration of whey protein from 20% DS to 34% DS using DCMD seems a possibility if a higher flux is obtained. This should be possible using a thinner membrane and higher flow rates than was possible in this study. Using DCMD will lead to less protein denaturisation during the whey prot

New bio-inspired materials can be integrated with controlled biophysical parameters such as mechanical and chemical parameters to bring advanced tools for tissue engineering applications. Therefore, we expect that our new rational threedimesional extracellular matrix analog would have high impact in

One of the most crucial and difficult elements of the bioprocess is its ability to separate between the biosolids and the liquid effluent phase. The objectives of this study were to evaluate practical possibilities to upgrade existing wastewater treatment facilities by operating aerobic treatment ba

Novel integrating electrochemical processes with electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and electro-oxidation were designed as advanced water treatment equipment to meet the most rigorous specifications for the existing wastewater treatment facility of secondary nonradioactive system. Pilot tests of these p

This study is to investigate the effect of operating parameters of submerged membrane adsorption hybrid system (SMAHS) such as preadsorption and powdered activated carbon requirement, aeration, filtration flux; There is an optimum value for each of the operating parameters and they are specific to t

The retention of 8 acidic and 2 neutral pharmaceuticals in nanofiltration (NF) was investigated by a loose NF membrane and a tight NF membrane. The retention change due to the exposure to chlorine was studied. The retention of pharmaceuticals was affected by the electric repulsion effect in addition
