      Membrane nanofiltration is extremely complex and is dependent on the micro-hydrodynamics and interfacial events occurring at the membrane surface and within the membrane nanopores. There is significant debate as to the ...
    • Leaching behaviour of magnesium phosphate cements containing high quantities of heavy metals 

      Buj Corral, Irene; Torras Grané, Josep; Rovira Boixaderas, Miquel; Pablo Ribas, Joan de (Elsevier, 2009-10-30)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Stabilization/solidification (S/S) is one of the most employed techniques for treating liquid wastes containing heavy metals. Magnesium potassium phosphate cements have been used in recent years as stabilizing agents with ...
    • Review of the dielectric properties of nanofiltration membranes and verification of the single oriented layer approximation
