Abstract The molecular design of nanoporous membranes with desired morphology and selectivity has attracted significant interest over the past few decades. A major problem in their applications is trade‐off between sieving property permeability. Here, we report discovery elongation‐induced nano‐pore evolution during external stretching a novel polyamide‐imide nanofiltration hollow fiber membrane dry‐jet wet‐spinning process that simultaneously leads to decreased pore size but increased pure...
The fate and movement of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), in terms sorption–desorption leaching potential, were evaluated urban soils following the batch experimental method. sorption kinetics 2,4-D followed both "fast" "slow" processes that could be well described by a pseudo-second-order model, suggesting was partitioned into soil organic matter clay surfaces, eventually diffused micropores. isotherms linear, Langmuir Freundlich models. Partially decomposed or undecomposed present...
The widespread popularity of sunscreens contributes significantly to the release zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles into bodies water, yet there is still lack sufficient understanding on realistic behaviour and long-term exposure. In this study, a simple effective method was used extract ZnO from ZnO-based sunscreen products (available in Australia) that end up wastewaters. extracted were negative charged at controlled pH 7. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed an irregular,...
Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), due to its increasing use as an alternative perfluooctane (PFOS), is widely detected in humans and the environment, necessitating evaluation of potential ecotoxicological risk. We assessed toxicity bioaccumulation PFBS Caenorhabditis elegans, using lethality, locomotion, reproduction, life span, growth, chemotactic behavior effect parameters. In addition, a total 6 generations exposed parent animals were monitored for brood, span behaviors. Life brood size...
The zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been increasingly applied in industries and consumer products, causing release of these environments. behaviour ZnO-NPs the water systems is complicated due to presence different cations, anions, organic substances (e.g. humic acid HA) other pollutants commonly used brominated flame retardant, BFR). In particular, aggregation alteration can be influenced by co-existence contaminants. this study, interactions between hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)...
