This work addresses the potentialities of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) using hollow fibre membranes for seawater desalination. Experiments were carried out with a synthetic salty water containing a concentration of NaCl from 0 up to 300 g/L. A Microza (Pall) hollow fibre module was used. Experimental results show that, for this module, concentration polarisation and heat transfer limitations are not significant and do not modify the permeate flux. This is a great advantage over reverse osmosis (RO). Energy consumption was then studied using computations based on modelling. Two different industrial plants were considered: the first one consisted of hollow fibre modules arranged in series and operated in a single-pass. The second one was designed for a discontinuous operation using a circulation loop. Computations clearly show the interest (low energy consumption) of VMD for seawater desalination in comparison with RO.

This paper studies the use of bipolar-particles-electrodes in the decolorization of dyeing effluents. Treatment of highly colored solutions of various soluble dyes (such as direct, reactive, cationic or acid dyes) and also samples of dyeing effluents gave rise to an almost colorless transparent liquid, with removal of CODcr and BOD5 being as high as over 80%. The method is characterized by its high efficiency, low energy consumption and long performance life. A discussion of the underlying principle is given.

Recent market studies show that the market for remote monitoring devices of different medical parameters will grow exponentially. Globally, more than 4 million individuals will be monitored remotely from the perspective of different health parameters by 2023. Of particular importance is the way of remote transmission of the information acquired from the medical sensors. At this time, there are several methods such as Bluetooth, WI-FI, or other wireless communication interfaces. Recently, the communication based on LoRa (Long Range) technology has had an explosive development that allows the transmission of information over long distances with low energy consumption. The implementation of the IoT (Internet of Things) applications using LoRa devices based on open Long Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN) protocol for long distances with low energy consumption can also be used in the medical field. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed and developed a long-distance communication architecture for medical devices based on the LoRaWAN protocol that allows data communications over a distance of more than 10 km.
