This study investigates the fouling behavior and resistance of superhydrophilic thin-film composite forward osmosis membranes functionalized with surface-tailored nanoparticles. Fouling experiments in both reverse modes are performed three model organic foulants: alginate, bovine serum albumin, Suwannee river natural matter. A solution comprising monovalent divalent salts is employed to simulate chemistry typical wastewater effluents. Reduced consistently observed for compared control...
Thin-film composite polyamide membranes are state-of-the-art materials for membrane-based water purification and desalination processes, which require both high rejection of contaminants permeabilities. However, these prone to fouling when processing natural waters wastewaters, because the inherent surface physicochemical properties polyamides. The present work demonstrates fabrication forward osmosis with optimized via facile scalable functionalization fine-tuned nanoparticles. Silica...
β-Cyclodextrin-modified hybrid magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-PGMACD) were synthesized via the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization on surfaces silica coated iron oxide particles (Fe3O4@SiO2) and ring-opening reaction epoxy groups. The feasibility using Fe3O4@SiO2-PGMACD as separable immobilized catalyst adsorbent was demonstrated. It found: (1) prepared could be used in substrate-selective oxidation alcohols system catalytic efficiency close to pure β-Cyclodextrin equal...
Producing an ideal sorbent for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions is still very challenging. A well-organized microporous structure and nitrogen-rich functional groups in a are proposed as excellent platform Cd(II) removal. Urea phosphate (UP) was used activating agent preparing carbon sorbents derived biomass. The procedure examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which indicated that well-developed were present the due to UP with urea phosphoric acid molecules its chemical...
Constructed wetland has attracted more and attention for wastewater purification due to its low construction cost convenient operation recently. However, the unique waterflooding structure of constructed makes dissolved oxygen level, which limits effect nitrogen removal in system. Therefore, it is necessary develop oxygen-increasing technology overcome drawback wetlands. In this review, mechanism discussed main influence factor concluded. addition, technologies recent advances improve...
In this highlight, we summarize the design principle and representative examples of MOCs for gas adsorption separation, with aim providing a theoretical basis designing more that can adsorb purify gas.
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and ecotoxic chemicals in aquatic environments. To date, little is known about measures for strengthening PFAS removal constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, the role of iron oxide iron-reducing bacteria (FeRB) perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was investigated CWs. The efficiencies PFOA PFOS effluent were improved by 33.0 40.8%, respectively, CWs with FeRB. acetate as an intermediate product also detected....
Antibiotic pollution in water is an urgent environmental problem. A novel carbon adsorbent derived from powdery puffed waterfowl feather (PPWF)-doped Phragmites australis (PA) was proposed for enhancing the removal of antibiotics this study. Amoxicillin (AMX) and cephalexin (CEX) were selected as typical antibiotics. PPWF-doped (FPAC) -undoped (PAC) adsorbents developed to test adsorption capacities mechanisms AMX CEX. Characterization techniques such N2 adsorption/desorption, Fourier...
