Colloidal Fouling of Salt Rejecting Nanofiltration Membranes: Transient Electrokinetic Model and Experimental Study
DownloadFall 2012
Membrane separation processes are widely used for separation of colloids, macromolecules, organic and ions. Among different processes, nanofiltration (NF) is being increasingly used for removing multiple molecular weight and size solutes using a single membrane. Fouling is a commonly encountered...

Rheological behavior and nano-microstructure of complex fluids: Biomedical and Bitumen-Heavy oil applications
DownloadFall 2010
The main objective of this research was to exploit the interrelations between the rheological behavior and nano-microstructure of complex fluids in solving two state-of-the-art problems, one in the field of biomedical engineering: controlling the amount and characteristics of bioaerosol droplets...
