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. ...
Nanoporous hollow fiber polyethersulfone membranes for the removal of residual contaminants from treated wastewater effluent: Functional and molecular implications

Giwa, Adewale; Chakraborty, Sudip; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Arafat, Hassan A; ETAL. (Elsevier, 2017-12)

Hollow fiber membranes consisting of polyethersulfone (PES) reformed with high proportions of single bondOH, aryl-N and alkyl-F groups in nonsolvent additives were compared for the removal of residual Cr (VI), COD, and ...
Recent developments in hazardous pollutants removal from wastewater and water reuse within a circular economy

Ahmed, Menatalla; Mavukkandy, Musthafa O; Giwa, Adewale; Elektorowicz, Maria; Katsou, vina (Nature Publishing Group, 2022-04)

Recent advances in wastewater treatment processes have resulted in high removal efficiencies for various hazardous pollutants. Nevertheless, some technologies are more suitable for targeting specific contaminants than ...
