The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals (potentially toxic elements) in water
bodies generates serious environmental issues and health problems that led to a dramatic …

Water is the material basis for living organisms and one of the primary resources to maintain
the sustainable development of the earth's ecological environment. As a water purification …

The influence of channel geometry on the ion selectivity and ionic current rectification (ICR)
of soft nanochannels was numerically investigated. The nanochannels coated with …

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are promising media for water and wastewater treatment;
however, they suffer from their hydrophobic nature and low permeability. For this reason, the …

The influence of the temperature-and concentration-dependent properties, derived from the
gradients of temperature and concentration, on the ionic selectivity, ionic current rectification …

The wide use of dyes has been arousing global concern due to the amount of wastewater
improperly discharged into water resources, damaging the environment and human health …

By the combination of photocatalysis with membrane separation technology, a concurrent
strategy of near-infrared (NIR) photocatalytic degradation and flow-through filtration for the …

When both positive and negative charges are present at the nanochannel surface, the
system is called a bipolar nanochannel, or bipolar diode. Bipolar nanochannels have a …

This study focuses on the fabrication of low-fouling polyethersulfone ultrafiltration (PES UF)
membranes using collagen (COL) and polyphenon 60 from green tea (PGT) as additives …

Environmental protection and resource recovery require efficient separation of salts and
heavy metal ions from wastewater. A new hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane (HFNM) with …
