Spinel-based ceramic membranes coupling solid sludge recycling with oily wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: This work provides a novel protocol for rationally designing size and surface chemistry of highly robust GO nanochannels at a subnanometer level to construct water-stable functional GOF membranes with enhanced sieving performance for water treatment applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) powder was used for the preparation of ceramic microfiltration membrane, and the optimal sintering temperature (1050°C) provided porosity of 46.7%, a pore size of 0.92μm, a mechanical strength of 14.5 MPa and a permeability of 724.5 l/h.

TL;DR: Mechanism analysis indicates that such a special nano-composite interlayer not only provided more active cites for the formation of thinner defect-free nano-voids-containing PA layer without penetration into substrate, but acted as a highly porous three dimension network structure for rapid water transport.

TL;DR: A high-strength and flexible electro-conductive stainless steel-carbon nanotube (SS-CNT) membrane, exhibiting significantly enhanced anti-corrosion and anti-fouling ability via a micro-electrical field-coupling strategy during membrane distillation is reported, overcoming the critical bottleneck of brittleness of traditional inorganic membranes.

TL;DR: The literature has been critically reviewed in order to assess the attenuation processes governing contaminants in leachate affected aquifers as discussed by the authors, focusing on dissolved organic matter, xenobiotic organic compounds, inorganic macrocomponents as anions and cations, and heavy metals.

TL;DR: Divalent calcium ions greatly enhance natural organic matter fouling by complexation and subsequent formation of intermolecular bridges among organic foulant molecules and a remarkable correlation was obtained between the measured adhesion forces and the fouling and cleaning behavior of the membrane under various solution chemistries.

TL;DR: In this article, a co-precipitation method was used to support Ni-based catalysts for dry reforming of methane to synthesis gas, and the results showed that Ni/MgOγ-Al2O3 and Ni/Al 2O4 catalysts exhibit higher activity and better stability using a stoichiometric feed ratio (1:1).

TL;DR: In this article, the matrix-flushing theory and the adiabatic principle were applied in applied X-ray diffraction analysis to obtain the quantitative composition of a mixture.
