Investigation Of Membrane Based Processes For Biomedical Applications, Efecan Pakkaner
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
As substantial developments were achieved in nanotechnology and polymer engineering, especially in the last few decades, the use of membranes and membrane-based procedures was found to be expanding into more and more research and development areas; including biological engineering, life sciences and biomedical engineering. Not only have they been the main focus of meaningful research, but they have also been the main pieces of the solutions to very thorny problems encountered within a wide range of applications from microfluidics to water treatment, thanks to their versatility, cost-effectiveness and biocompatibility, when compared to conventional separation techniques. To celebrate and embrace these …
Novel Separation Methods Using Electrodialysis/Electrodeionization For Product Recovery And Power Generation, Alexander Miguel Lopez-Rosa
Novel Separation Methods Using Electrodialysis/Electrodeionization For Product Recovery And Power Generation, Alexander Miguel Lopez-Rosa
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The use of electrodialytic separations for the purification of products has been a vital technique for the past 50 years in the chemical industry. Originally used for demineralization and desalination, electrodialysis and its counterparts have expanded to assist in product purification, waste and hazard removal, and power generation. This research focused on the development of high purity organic acids purification with low power requirements. Work resulted in the development of a new type of electrodialysis process, specifically the use of ionic liquids as a secondary solvent for the development of dual solvent electrodialysis. Through dual solvent electrodialysis, ions were recovered …
