[Evaluation of Malassezia furfur Biofilm Formation on Polypropylene Membrane].

The Malassezia yeast species colonize on the skin immediately after birth and could be found on the healthy skin flora for life. Although they are more frequently involved in the etiology of common skin infections in the community, particularly Malassezia furfur could cause life-threatening infections such as fungemia. Detection of biofilm during the colonization of these yeasts on the skin is an important criterion for its virulence.

Separation of Boron from Geothermal Waters with Membrane System.

This study presents the separation and recovery of boron from geothermal waters with a polymeric membrane system and suggests a transport mechanism. The optimum relative parameters of the transport were examined. The recovery value of boron was 60.

New Type Biomembrane: Transport and Biodegradation of Reactive Textile Dye.

In traditional separation processes, there are environmental risks still because of the presence of toxic agents. Thus, a novel biomembrane microreactor named eco-green biomembrane (EgBM) was developed to perform the transport, biodegradation, and cleaning of a textile dye aqueous solution (3 mg/L) from the donor (., textile dye) to the acceptor (.

A novel electro-driven membrane for removal of chromium ions using polymer inclusion membrane under constant D.C. electric current.

In this study, the use of polymer inclusion membrane under constant electric current for the removal of Cr(VI) from water has investigated for the first time. Transport of Cr(VI) is performed by an electric current from the donor phase to the acceptor phase with a constant electric current of 0.5A.
