Comparison Between Emerging and Conventional Methods for Edible Oils Bleaching
The use of acid‐activated clay in industrial oil bleaching presents several drawbacks: prolonged filtration times, substantial oil loss, increased environmental concerns, landfill costs, degradation of triacylglycerols, increasing oil acidity, and formation of undesirable byproducts such as conjugated dienes and trienes. Utilizing novel technologies to

Biodegradable Polyesteramide Films for Pervaporative Dehydration of Isopropanol–Water
ABSTRACT Polyesteramides are biodegradable polymers possessing good mechanical properties with potential applicability in membrane separations. In this work, polymer films from ε‐caprolactam and ε‐caprolactone‐based polyesteramides were prepared at a ratio of monomer units set so that the resulting copolymer had a low crystalline phase content.

Pervaporation dehydration of bio-fuel (n-butanol) by dry thermal treatment membrane
In the present investigation, laboratory synthesized graphene oxide (GO) as a nano-filler was used in polyetherimide (PEI) flat-sheet membranes (PM). The PEI flat-sheet membrane was fabricated through a dry-thermal treatment (DTT) method.
