After the great success of the first HEAd conference, which received submissions from 41 countries,we are pleased to announce the Second International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAD'16).This conference is ...

[EN] Nowadays, wastewater reuse in Mediterranean countries is necessary to cover the water demand. This contributes to the protection of the environment and encourages the circular economy. Due to increasingly strict ...

Higher education institutions play an important role as leaders in knowledge creation and dissemination by setting the grounds for society to advance and to improve welfare. Despite the long-standing tradition of some ...

Ultrafiltration is a widely used technique to remove hazardous pollutants from wastewaters. As ultrafiltration is a dynamic process, non steady-state UF models have been widely investigated and described in the literature. ...

This work analyses the measure of fit of experimental data of permeate flux decline with time for ultrafiltration experiments performed with polyethylene glycol aqueous solutions to two different ultrafiltration models. A ...

[EN] The last syllabus of the grades of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) has changed the perspective of the universitary teaching and has highlighted the importance of the specific and the transversal ...

[EN] Forward osmosis is a low-energy water treatment emerging technology, which has demonstrated improved solute rejection and low fouling propensity. In this study, the applicability of aquaporin-based forward osmosis ...

[EN] This work studies the adequacy of different reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatments applied to different petrochemical wastewater effluents. Three effluents from a caprolactam factory were analysed: ion-exchange resin ...

In this work, flux decline during crossflow ultrafiltration of macromolecules with ceramic membranes has been modeled using artificial neural networks. The artificial neural network tested was the multilayer perceptron. ...

[EN] The production of olive oil generates wastewater with a high organic load and toxicity due to the high concentration of phenolic compounds. In recent years, the study on the treatments of these waters has been intensified ...
