Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and related substances are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic, thus of substantial environmental concern. PFOS is an essential photolithographic chemical in the semiconductor industry with no substitutes yet identified. The seeks effective treatment technologies. feasibility using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for treating wastewater containing has been investigated. Commercial RO were characterized terms permeability, salt rejection, scanning electron...
Headspace PCo2 was measured with an infrared gas analyzer over equilibrated goethite suspension to determine adsorption of carbonate species in the pH range 3 8. For a 2 g/L 0.1 N NaClO4 (~3 10−4 M surface sites), fraction adsorbed increased from 0.15 at maximum 0.56 6. In 0.01 NaClO4, 6 0.67. The total concentration CO2 about 0.4 0.6 these experiments. development charge determined 4 11 by potentiometric titration under controlled low conditions. No hysteresis observed between acid and base...
Desalination of seawater, brackish water, and reclaimed water is increasingly utilized worldwide to augment diversify fresh sources. The lack economically ecologically feasible concentrate management options, however, a major barrier widespread implementation desalination, in particular at inland sites. This paper critically reviews strategies technologies for management, including disposal, treatment, beneficial use. Development energy-efficient, cost-effective, environmentally benign...

Surface complexation models (SCMs) are commonly used to replicate observed acid/base and ion binding behaviors of mineral surfaces. A variety have been employed; the constructs can differ in representation both surface interfacial region. Little effort has made assess how or why model response depends on employed complexes considered. We examined three SCMs determined model-predicted cation partitioning proton release depend pH, ionic strength, loading, model, fit, proposed complex....

Success of phage therapies is limited by bacterial defenses against phages. While a large variety anti- defense mechanisms has been characterized, how expression these systems distributed across individual cells and their combined activities translate into protection from phages not studied. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we profiled the transcriptomes ∼50,000 cultures human pathobiont, Bacteroides fragilis, infected with lytic bacteriophage. We quantified asynchronous progression...

For aquatic systems, the movement, fate, and impact of trace metals strongly depend on metal's tendency to partition surfaces. An experimental modeling study proton copper(II) sorption Cu2+/H+exchange goethite (α-FeOOH), an important oxide mineral, was conducted. Copper partitioning data covered three pHs, two ionic strengths, orders magnitude in copper surface coverage, six solution activity. Three complexation models [diffuse layer model (DLM), triple-layer (TLM), modified (Mod TL)]...
