This study investigates the modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes with 1 wt% titanium dioxide (TiO2), zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and a nanocomposite of TiO2/ZrO2. The aim was to efficiently remove Rhodamine B (RhB) from water using a threefo...

Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) are ubiquitous technologies in modern water treatment, finding applications across various sectors. However, the availability of high-quality water suitable for RO/NF feed is diminishing due to droughts ca...

Cholesterol is a biological molecule that is essential for cellular life. It has unique features in terms of molecular structure and function, and plays an important role in determining the structure and properties of cell membranes. One of the most...

The utilization of oxygen transport membranes enables the production of high-purity hydrogen by the thermal decomposition of water below 1000 °C. This process is based on a chemical potential gradient across the membrane, which is usually achieve...

Pomegranate and its by-products contain a broad spectrum of phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids and tannins, having pleiotropic preventive and prophylactic properties in health disorders related to oxidative stress and microbial contam...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent compounds characterized by stable C−F bonds giving them high thermal and chemical stability. Numerous studies have highlighted the presence of PFASs in the environment, surfac...

This study presents a novel approach for fabricating ZIF-8 membranes supported on α-alumina hollow fibers through the introduction of a graphene oxide (GO) gutter layer and the application of zinc oxide (ZnO) Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). The...

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are frequently used as membrane models in studies of membrane properties. They are most often produced using the electroformation method. However, there are a number of parameters that can influence the success of th...

There is limited research on the relationship between membrane fouling and microbial metabolites in the nitrogen removal process coupled with membrane bioreactors (MBRs). In this study, we compared anoxic-oxic (AO) and partial nitritation–anamm...

Composite polymer membranes were obtained using the so-called dry phase inversion and were used for desalination of diluted saline water solutions by pervaporation (PV) method. The tests used a two-layer backing, porous, ultrafiltration commercial me...
