Research and development to overcome fouling of membranes

Description: During this first year of the program, we have successfully accomplished the main objective of demonstrating the feasibility of using piezoelectrically assisted ultrafiltration to reduce membrane fouling and enhance the flux through ultrafiltration membranes. A preliminary economic evaluation, accounting for the power consumption of the piezoelectric driver and the extent of permeate flow rate enhancement, has also shown that piezoelectrically assisted ultrafiltration is cost effective and econ… more

Influence of processing variables on the structure and properties of ZnO films

Description: Zinc oxide films of high optical quality have been deposited onto both silica and silicon substrates using reactive sputtering, pulsed laser deposition, and an aqueous solution based technique. Films have been characterized with respect to crystalline phase and phase stability, surface morphology, and optical response by means of X-ray diffraction, Raman Spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, optical transmission and ellipsometry measurements. All films studied were of the wurtzite phase, fine-… more

Research and development to overcome fouling of membranes. Final report

Description: To overcome fouling of membranes, SRI International is developing a unique piezoelectric backing for ultrafiltration membranes. This backing is capable of producing local turbulence next to the membrane to minimize concentration polarization and the rate of buildup of solutes and particulate matter on the membrane surface. We have studied piezoelectrically assisted ultrafiltration in more detail, with the objective to apply this process to industrial ultrafiltrations. We conducted several ultra… more
