Mechanical Behavior of a Novel Nanocomposite Polysulphone - Carbon Nanotubes Membrane for Water Treatment by Wang, Kui

“…The produced CNTs had diameters ranging from 20 to 50 nm and lengths ranging from 300 to 500 micron (corresponded aspect ratios ranging from 6000 to 25000). A novel polysulphone (PSF) based nanocomposite membrane incorporated with the produced high aspect ratio CNTs was then casted via phase inversion method, at a wide range of CNTs loading (0-5 wt. %), in polysulphone-dimethylformamide solutions using the Philos casting system. …”

Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell by Lu, Yaobin

“…Several strategies such as controlling catholyte pH, increasing influent COD concentration, adopting the batch mode, applying external voltage, and increasing the alkalinity of wastewater were investigated for improving the SMDC performance. Under a condition of 0.4 V external voltage, anolyte pH adjustment, and a batch mode, the SMDC decreased the wastewater salinity from 1.45 to below 0.75 mS cm−1, which met the salinity standard of wastewater for irrigation. …”
