Development and Performance Evaluation of a Polyethersulfone–Graphene Oxide Ultrafiltration Membrane for Simultaneous Drug Delivery and Virus Removal: An Experimental Investigation
Abstract: The development of multifunctional ultrafiltration membranes for simultaneous controlled drug delivery and viral removal has gained considerable attention in biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and water purification. Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes offer excellent thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability; however, their hydrophobicity can limit permeability, antifouling performance, and biocompatibility. This study proposes the fabrication of PES–graphene oxide (GO) ultrafiltration membranes using the phase inversion technique, with systematic variation of GO concentration to optimize …

Use of Advanced (i.e., Membrane) Technology for the Wastewater Treatment of Coke Ovens
Abstract: Coke plants produce gas, and coke for metallurgical purposes and also supply the raw materials for the manufacture of dyes, drugs, and high explosives. Naturally found coal is converted into coke in coke ovens. A large quantity of water is used for quenching hot coke and for washing gas. After quenching the wastewater contains high-suspended solids, high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (600–1300 mg/L), chemical oxygen demand (COD) (1500–3000mg/L), phenols(500–650 mg/L), …
