Student Spotlight: Leveraging membrane filtration to unleash the potential of Copper-67
Maura Sepesy is a third year graduate student at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), where she is pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. She works with Dr. Christine Duval researching membrane adsorbers for medical isotope purification. Sepesy’s previous career at Lubrizol researching novel separation materials inspired her to continue her education in this area. This …
Student Spotlight: Membrane adsorbers for radiochemical separations
Priyanka Suresh has always been passionate about clean water and clean energy availability. She received her undergraduate degree in Petroleum Engineering at Anna University in India. As an undergraduate, she was involved in research projects focusing on the removal of textile dyes and pharmaceutical wastes from water using graphene-oxide doped nanoparticles. This inspired her to …
Membrane filtration technology development trends toward water & wastewater recovery & reuse
Whereas the total quantity of water on this planet is more or less fixed, its quality is deteriorating, because we have been contaminating it for thousands of years, with little concern for the consequences. Drinking water regulations continue to increase water quality standards, and industrial and commercial activities are requiring higher quality water in many …

Reverse osmosis for desalination
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a process that is commonly employed for desalination of seawater. RO systems leverage asemi-permeable membrane to remove ions, molecules and unwanted contaminants and particles (salt in the case of desalination) from water. In a u-tube with unsalinated water on one side, salinated water on the other side, separated by a semi-permeable …
