Fundamentals of low-pressure nanofiltration: Membrane characterization, modeling, and understanding the multi-ionic interactions in water softening
Chong, Tzyy Haur; Labban, Omar; Liu, Chang, S.B. Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Lienhard, John H (Elsevier, 2016-08)Recently, a novel class of low-pressure nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes, particularly suited for water softening and desalination pretreatment have been fabricated in-house using layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition ... -
Next-generation HVAC: Prospects for and limitations of desiccant and membrane-based dehumidification and cooling
Labban, Omar; Chen, Tianyi; Ghoniem, Ahmed F; Lienhard, John H.; Norford, Leslie Keith (Elsevier, 2017-05)Recently, next-generation HVAC technologies have gained attention as potential alternatives to the conventional vapor-compression system (VCS) for dehumidification and cooling. Previous studies have primarily focused on ... -
Relating transport modeling to nanofiltration membrane fabrication: Navigating the permeability-selectivity trade-off in desalination pretreatment
Labban, Omar; Lienhard, John H. (Elsevier, 2018-03)Faced with a pressing need for membranes with a higher permeability and selectivity, the field of membrane technology can benefit from a systematic framework for designing membranes with the necessary physical characteristics. ...
