Conference (2008 : Toulouse, France) Conference location Toulouse, France Conference dates 20-22 Oct. 2008 Title of proceedings Papers presented at the conference on membranes in drinking water production and wastewater treatment, 20-22 October, Toulouse, France Publication date 2008 Start page 1 End page 8 Publisher MDIW Place of publication [France] Keyword(s) 3-D reconstruction Nanoporous structure Filtration membrane Diatom Transmission electronic microtomography Summary The nanoporous structure of membrane varies in 3-dimensional (3-D) space and has remarkable influences on the filtration or desalination achieved, fouling potentials and therefore, the quality of yielded water. Knowledge of the 3-D nanoporous structure is thus vital to understanding and predicting its performance. A novel method by incorporating transmission electronic microtomography, image processing and 3-D reconstruction is introduced to characterize membranes with nano structures. The reconstruction algorithm allows for the visualization of 3-D nanoporous structure in a non-destructive way from any directions. This novel technique Ieads to in-depth understanding and accurate prediction of filtration performance.
