This powerpoint presentation begins by providing study objectives, that include the following:
evaluate rejection of selected antibiotics by nanofiltration membranes under varying
antibiotic properties,
water conditions (e.g. pH), and
membrane surface characteristics and pore size. The cross-flow filtration setup and procedure is presented, including modeling of uncharged (and charged) solute transport (NF), and boundary conditions. Presentation conclusions indicate that: transport of such compounds in nanopores can be regulated by
size and charge effects; can be effectively modeled by assessing diffusive, convective,
and electromigration properties;
deviations may occur due to incorrect assessment of physical
properties or incomplete assessment of transport effects;
understanding the aspects of mass transfer in this context has
universal applications for
drug delivery through skin,
protein diffusion in cellular microtubules, and
on-chip hydrodynamic chromatography.
Transport of such compounds in nanopores can be regulated by
size and charge effects. Includes table, figures.
