The UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology in collaboration with the UNSW Water Research Centre organised a free symposium on Friday the 14^th of November, 2008, to introduce the new Liquid Chromatography-Organic Carbon/Nitrogen Detector newly available at UNSW.

This state-of-the-art equipment allows the fractionation of the organic matters and their detailed characterisation thanks to the customised organic carbon and nitrogen detectors (OCND). Analyses of the organic and biopolymers present in water and wastewaters is possible in a single simple step. Better understanding of the removal of organic compounds is expected through their advanced characterisation in the different steps of the treatment process.

More details about the LC-OCND could be found on the supplier webpage: http://www.doc-labor.de/

The Membrane Research Environment is a collaborative project aimed at providing a comprehensive resource for researchers in the area of separation membrane materials and in particular those related to desalination membrane processes. The Membrane library website is now accessible here.

Many research projects based on Membrane Bioreactors are currently carried out in The UNESCO Centre for Membrane Science and Technology. More details about this technology and the work done at UNSW could be found here.

Direct observation of the fouling formation and removal during the filtration of an alginate-bentonite mixture was presented during the Euromembrane Conference, Italy. The videos can be viewed by clicking here. More details about this project will be published soon.
