Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of phenol from aqueous solutions using hollow fibre contactors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterised recovery of phenol from an aqueous solution using a hydrophobic polypropylene membrane contactor, and the effects of temperature and hydrodynamics on the overall mass transfer coefficient were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass transfer correlations in membrane extraction: Analysis of Wilson-plot methodology
Rui M.C. Viegas,Manuel Rodríguez,Susana Luque,J.R. Alvarez,Isabel M. Coelhoso,João G. Crespo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mass transfer correlations have been obtained for the past eight decades by the Wilson-plot method which has proved to be suitable for systems operating in steady-state conditions and where the only variable is the fluid velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid membranes using ionic liquids: the influence of water on solute transport
Raquel Fortunato,María Jesús González-Muñoz,Monika Kubasiewicz,Susana Luque,J.R. Alvarez,Carlos A. M. Afonso,Isabel M. Coelhoso,João G. Crespo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of water in the mechanism of solute transport between aqueous phases, separated by a supported liquid membrane with ionic liquids, was evaluated using case-study solutes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of reverse osmosis and freeze concentration for the removal of valeric acid from wastewaters
TL;DR: In this paper, the recovery of valeric acid from a synthetic aqueous solution simulating a wastewater stream in nylon manufacturing has been carried out using freeze concentration and reverse osmosis as separation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novozym 435-catalyzed synthesis of fatty acid ethyl esters from soybean oil for biodiesel production
TL;DR: In this article, the transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol in the presence of Novozym 435 (lipase from Candida antarctica) catalyst was investigated.
