A globally imminent shortage of freshwater has been demanding viable strategies for improving desalination efficiencies with the adoption cost- and energy-efficient membrane materials. The recently explored 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) near atomic thickness have envisioned to offer notable advantages as high-efficiency membranes owing their structural uniqueness; that is, extremely small intrinsic porosity. Despite theoretically projected advantages, experimental realization...
This study investigated the mechanisms of removal perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic (PFOA) using polyelectrolyte (PE) functionalized ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, performed through a fluidic method layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) polyacrylic (PAA) multilayer coatings. The effects source water composition (humic acids [HA] cations [Ca2+ Mg2+]) on PFOS PFOA efficiency by membrane were determined. PAH/PAA modification resulted in...
Abstract Nanofiltration (NF) is a promising technology to remove the perfluoroalkyl acids, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic (PFOS) from water; however, little information available as how natural water matrices impact PFOA PFOS rejection when using NF. This study investigated removal of in laboratory-prepared water, surface groundwater via NF determine effect matrix properties on by rejections were up approximately 38% higher compared water. The did not vary tested...
To investigate watershed remediation within a Total Maximum Daily Load program, this study examined the field-scale filtration performance of two specialty absorbents. The goal was to simultaneously remove nutrients and biological pollutants along Canal 23 (C-23) in St. Lucie River Basin, Florida. system installed C-23 river corridor equipped with either clay-perlite sand sorption media (CPS) or zero-valent iron perlite green environmental (ZIPGEM). Both were formulated varying combinations...
