In this work, ceramic ultrafiltration membranes deposited with different metal oxides (i.e., TiO2, Fe2O3, MnO2, CuO, and CeO2) of around 10 nm in thickness similar roughness were tested for O/W emulsion treatment. A distinct membrane fouling tendency was observed, which closely correlated to the properties filtration-layer surface hydroxyl groups, hydrophilicity, charge, adhesion energy oil droplets). Consistent bond strength hydrophilicity these common is quite different. The differences...
In the current dynamic environment, organizations are exposed to many risks from different directions. Therefore, this study using theoretical lens explored effect of enterprise risk management (ERM) on both financial and non-financial firm performance moderating role intellectual capital (IC) its dimensions relationship between ERM performance. To test hypotheses, a questionnaire survey was distributed 84 Iranian institutions. Structural equation modeling (PLS software) used analyze data...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal adsorbents because of their porous structure, ultra-large specific surface area, abundant active sites, and charge. Recently, light-response MOFs have received considerable research interests regarding potential applications in environmental remediation, medical treatment, artificial intelligence. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress MOF-based composites for adsorption/desorption. The fabrication strategies MOFs, including situ...
Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling is not a static state but dynamic phenomenon. The investigation of kinetics and dynamics change in the composition foulant mass essential to elucidate mechanism foulant–foulant interactions. aim this work was study at lab scale process with an emphasis on changes relative material as function operating time. Fouled samples were collected 8 h, 1, 2, 4 weeks lab-scale RO unit operated recirculation mode. Foulant characterization performed by CLSM, AFM,...
Abstract BACKGOUND Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising low‐cost and efficient desalination process, yet it has not been fully implemented at an industrial scale. wetting low porosity are limiting factors leading to water recovery rates. The current study involved the synthesis of membranes that combined high mechanical stability, superhydrophobicity, prevent wetting, with salt rejection flux. RESULTS Silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) were synthesized by novel green chemistry procedure,...
Cigarette butts (CB) and cigarette butt fibers (CBF) are highly abundant frequent residues on beach sand. Also, they hazardous waste due to their significant toxicity potential risk the ecosystems' biota health of tourists. This study aimed determine abundance density CB CBF found active, rest, service zones five pilot beaches in Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico. The methodology involved collecting 500 m2 transects urban tourist using a citizen science-adapted between June 2021...
The stability of functionalized nanoparticles generally results from both steric and electrostatic interactions. Viruses like bacteriophage MS2 have adopted similar strategies for against aggregation, including a net negative charge under natural water conditions using polypeptides that form loops extending the surface protein capsid stabilization. In systems, dissolved organic matter can adsorb to effectively functionalize nanoparticle surfaces, affecting fate transport these nanoparticles....
Aggregation kinetics of rotavirus in aqueous solutions and its deposition on silica surface the presence divalent (Ca2+, Mg2+) cations were studied using complementary techniques time-resolved dynamic light scattering (TR-DLS) quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Within a reasonable temporal window 4 h, aggregation could be observed at levels as low 10 mM Ca2+ 20 Mg2+. Attachment efficiencies always greater same concentration, critical coagulation concentration (CCC) for was slightly smaller...
