Membranes, Volume 10, Issue 9

Most drugs work by binding to receptors on the cell surface. Quantification of binding kinetics between drug and membrane protein is an essential step in drug discovery. Current methods for measuring binding kinetics involve extracting the membrane p...

Nowadays, integrated microfiltration (MF) membrane systems treatment is becoming widely popular due to its feasibility, process reliability, commercial availability, modularity, relative insensitivity in case of wastewater of various industrial sourc...

In the papermaking industry (reconstituted tobacco), a large number of tobacco stems, dust, and fines are discharged in the wastewater. This high salinity wastewater rich in ionic constituents and nicotine is difficult to be degraded by conventional...

Membrane modification is becoming ever more relevant for mitigating fouling phenomena within wastewater treatment applications. Past research included a novel low-fouling coating using polymerizable bicontinuous microemulsion (PBM) induced by UV-LED...

Lactic acid that is prepared by fermentation is a compound in food, cosmetic pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Since a simple technique is desired that separates lactic acid from the cultures, we propose lactic acid permeation through a poly(v...

The mussel-inspired method has been investigated to modify commercial ultrafiltration membranes to induce antifouling characteristics. Such features are essential to improve the feasibility of using membrane processes in protein recovery from waste s...

The growing concern for climate change and global warming has given rise to investigations in various research fields, including one particular area dedicated to the creation of solid sorbents for efficient CO2 capture. In this work, a new family of...

In this study, we performed nanoindentation test using the molecular dynamic (MD) approach on a selected thin film of palladium, vanadium, copper and niobium coated on the vanadium substrate at a loading rate of 0.5 Å/ps. The thermosetting control is...

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for all living organisms and used as cofactor in key enzymes of important biological processes, such as aerobic respiration or superoxide dismutation. However, due to its toxicity, cells have developed elabor...

Fertilizer-drawn forward osmosis (FDFO) has garnered immense attention for its application in the agricultural field and its potential to reuse wastewater sustainably. Membrane fouling, however, remains to be a challenge for the process. This study a...
