Leaching of PVP from PVDF/PVP blend membranes: Impacts on membrane structure and fouling in membrane bioreactors

Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Bilad, Muhammad R; Giwa, Adewale; Hasan, Shadi W; ETAL. (Springer US, 2016-05)

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are widely used in membrane industry, especially for membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Many PVDF membranes contain residual polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) that acts as a pore-forming additive. ...
Shrinkage, defect and membrane distillation performance of composite PVDF membranes

Bilad, Muhammad R; Burrieza, E Guillen; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Marzooqi, Faisal A Al; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2015-11)

This study addresses the importance of non-woven support (NWS) during the preparation of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes for membrane distillation (MD). Five different NWSs were investigated as substrate materials ...
Tackling membrane fouling in microalgae filtration using nylon 6, 6 nanofiber membrane

Bilad, Muhammad R; Azizo, AS; Wirzal, MDH; Jia, L Jia; Putra, ZA; Nordin, NAHM; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; ETAL. (Academic Press, 2018)

Microalgae technology, if managed properly, has promising roles in solving food-water-energy nexus. The Achilles' heel is, however, to lower the costs associated with cultivation and harvesting. As a favorable technique, ...
