Polyethersulfone Hollow Fiber Membranes for Oily Emulsion Treatment

Rodholfo da Silva Barbosa Ferreira produced polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes containing 3% of two types of clay. The dataset likely contains experimental results on membrane hydrophilicity, pore morphology, and performance metrics for treating oily emulsions. Flow measurements showed the highest water flow with Cloisite Na clay (~22 L/h.m²) and the highest oily emulsion flow (~16 L/h.m²) and yield (78.28%) with Brasgel PA clay.

Use Cases

• Comparing membrane hydrophilicity based on contact angle measurements
• Analyzing pore structure uniformity based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations
• Evaluating water and oily emulsion flow performance across different clay additives

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative performance metrics, such as a water flow of ~22 L/h.m² and an oily emulsion yield of 78.28%
• Describes the use of multiple characterization techniques (X-ray diffraction, contact angle analysis, SEM)
• Compares the effects of two distinct clay additives (Brasgel PA and Cloisite NA)

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
