Arsenic, a poisonous and carcinogenic heavy metal in drinking water, presents severe health risks to humans, including skin lesions, neurological damage, and circulatory disorders. Despite extensive research efforts have been carried out on removing ...
Nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes play an increasingly important role in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs), which puts higher demands on the customization of membranes suitable for OMPs removal based on the rejection ...
The development of multifunctional nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) that enable anti-viral protection during air purification and respiratory disease diagnosis for health management is of increasing importance. Herein, we unraveled a heterostructure-enha...
While forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes have been proven effective in rejecting organic pollutants, the rejection rate is highly dependent on compound and membrane characteristics, as well as operating conditions. This study aim...
Bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are complex, high-molecular-weight polymer mixtures that play a critical role in pore clogging, foulants adhesion, and fouling layer formation during membrane filtration, owing to their adhesive properti...
Predicting thermodynamic adhesion energies was a critical strategy for mitigating membrane fouling. This study utilized a backpropagation (BP) neural network model to predict the thermodynamic adhesion energies associated with membrane fouling in a p...
Pervaporation (PV) is an effective membrane separation process for organic dehydration, recovery, and upgrading. However, it is crucial to improve membrane materials beyond the current permeability-selectivity trade-off. In this research, we introduc...
Membrane breakage can lead to filtration failure, which allows harmful substances to enter the effluent, posing potential hazards to human health and the environment. This study is an innovative combination of fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible (UV...
This study aims to investigate the passive diffusion of protein kinase inhibitors through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and to develop a model for their permeability prediction. We used the parallel artificial membrane permeability assay to obtain ...
