This powerpoint presentation begins by providing study objectives, that include the following:evaluate rejection of selected antibiotics by nanofiltration membranes under varyingantibiotic properties, water conditions (e.g. pH), andmembrane surface characteristics and pore size. The cross-flow filtration setup and procedure is presented, including modeling of uncharged (and charged) solute transport (NF), and boundary conditions. Presentation conclusions indicate that: transport of such compounds in nanopores can be regulated bysize and charge effects; can be effectively modeled by assessing diffusive, convective,and electromigration properties;deviations may occur due to incorrect assessment of physicalproperties or incomplete assessment of transport effects; understanding the aspects of mass transfer in this context hasuniversal applications for drug delivery through skin, protein diffusion in cellular microtubules, andon-chip hydrodynamic chromatography.Transport of such compounds in nanopores can be regulated bysize and charge effects. Includes table, figures.
