TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative model was proposed to divide the solution in three different layers during the polymer solution mass exchange with the coagulation bath, and each layer is associated with different precipitation kinetics leading to distinct morphologies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the crosslinking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by glutaraldehyde in the absence of an acid catalyst and organic solvents to improve the water resistance of the hydrophilic biocompatible polymer.

TL;DR: The literature on the application of this membrane process for recovering aroma compounds is reviewed in this article, covering issues like organic aroma compounds which are often investigated, membrane materials and their performance, operating parameters and their effects, concentration polarization, available models and their limitations.

TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of carbon membranes by pyrolysis of polyetherimide hollow fibers and the influence of process variables on the final membrane morphology using a statistical experimental design are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) operating with constant permeate flux for the treatment of a refinery wastewater (oily stream) and evaluated the effects of high organic loadings on the organic matter and phenols removal efficiencies.
