The development of hybrid materials exhibiting the simultaneous action photocatalysis and membrane filtration can lead to improved water treatment processes. Photocatalysis has potential solve problems related fouling membranes, generation toxic condensates, existence very small harmful organic pollutants in permeate effluent. On other hand especially ceramic ones, are appropriate supports for deposition thin photocatalytic layers due their high affinity with photocatalyst (e.g., TiO2)...
We report novel supported ionic liquid (IL) phase systems, described as "inverse" SILPs, consisting of micron size IL droplets within an envelope silica nanoparticles. These IL-in-air powders, produced by easily scalable inversion process, are stable up to 60 °C and 30 bar proposed a means confront the major drawbacks conventional SILPs for gas separation. usually formed filling channels nanoporous materials with phase. In case core space pores remains open, such exhibit lack absorption...
This work elucidates the influence of graphene (G) and oxide (GO) content on desalination performance scaling characteristics G/polyvinylidene fluoride (G/PVDF) mixed matrix GO/PVDF composite‐skin membranes, applied in a direct contact membrane distillation process (DCMD). Inclusion high quality, nonoxidized, monolayered sheets as polymer filler, application novel GO/water‐bath coagulation method for preparation composite films, took place. Water permeability tests via DCMD, revealed that...
Due to large energy requirements of the traditional gas separation processes, novel and less energy-intensive technologies, such as adsorption- membrane-based ones, are anticipated play major role in future industrial separations. Thus, finding new means for economical fabrication materials related these processes is significant importance facilitate their implementation large-scale operations. In this work, we synthesized high-quality activated porous carbons (AC) carbon nanotube (CNT)...
Novel V2O5 bifunctional photocatalysts were prepared following a wet chemical process with the addition of anionic or non-ionic surfactants into precursor solution and further heating under reflux. Detailed characterization investigation relevant light-matter interactions proved that had strong impact on morphology, while also affecting crystallinity, optoelectronic properties, surface chemistry novel photocatalysts. The most efficient photocatalyst (T80) was based tween 80, surface-active...
Non-toxic carbon-based hybrid nanomaterials based on carbon nanodisks were synthesized and assessed as novel antibacterial agents. Specifically, acid-treated (oxCNDs), a safe alternative material to graphene oxide, interacted through covalent non-covalent bonding with guanidinylated hyperbranched polyethyleneimine derivatives (GPEI5K GPEI25K), affording the oxCNDs@GPEI5K oxCNDs@GPEI25K hybrids. Their physico-chemical characterization confirmed successful homogenous attachment of GPEIs...
The agriculture and agri-food sectors produce substantial amounts of plant-based waste. This waste presents an identifiable research opportunity to develop methods for effectively eliminating managing it in order promote zero-waste circular economies. Plant-based by-products are acknowledged as valuable sources bioactive compounds, including cellulose fibers. Direct application these fibers non-food such textiles can reduce the environmental impact secondary raw materials. review aims...
