AbstractTBrine is the by-product of desalination processes and contains most of the feed’s salts. Direct discharge of brine will cause severe issues for the environment.
Therefore, designing zero liquid discharge desalination (ZLDD) systems has attracted.....
AbstractGlobal epidemic prevention and control has entered the normalization stage, but the situation of local epidemic prevention and control is still complex and severe. In the new historical period, how to build on past successes to further advance our ca.....
AbstractThe existence of life on Earth is primarily dependent on water. Rapid industrialization, population increase, unplanned urbanization, poor use of natural water resources, and human activity have all negatively impacted water quality. Environmental po.....
AbstractProtein drugs are used to treat various diseases including cancer, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and genetic disorders. They have an advantage to small molecules as they directly target specific proteins and receptors with great precisio.....
AbstractOver the next two decades, the proportion of global energy demand attributed to fuel consumption will grow. The escalating costs of fossil fuels and apprehensions regarding the ecological repercussions of greenhouse gas emissions have rekindled the e.....
AbstractAbstract In this paper, a series of porous hierarchical Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (named as LDH, TTAC-MgAl-LDH, CTAC-MgAl-LDH and OTAC-MgAl-LDH) were successfully synthesized by a simple green hydrothermal method using wormlike micelles formed .....
AbstractEnvironmental contamination by heavy metals is an issue of global health concern. With the incessant rise in various anthropogenic activities: the release of various organic and inorganic contaminants has continued to rise. Some of these activities i.....
AbstractBackground: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a disease caused by the parasitization of Pinus spp. by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a pine wood nematode. This nematode is parasitic to insects and is thus transferred to the tree, growing in the tree for a shor.....
AbstractActivated Carbon Fiber (ACF) has properties that make it a great candidate as a sorbent in respirators against Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Adsorption properties of ACF relevant for the determination of the potential service life, such as break.....
AbstractExtraction of Ca(II) picrate (CaPic2) and SrPic2 with 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) and benzo-18C6 (B18C6) into 9 diluents were studied at T = 298 K. Their ion-pair extraction constants (Kex,ip = [MLPic2]org/[ML2+][Pic-]2) were determined at M = Ca, Sr, L .....
