Summary: The study investigated the partition and extraction behavior of Cu (II) in ATPS of PEG-zinc sulfate with ammonium thiocyanate as an extractor. Factors such as polymer weight percent, salt weight percent, polymer molecular weight, and pH were found to determine the partition coefficient of Cu (II) in the system. The model demonstrated a strong correlation between experimental and predicted values, indicating that pH and salt weight percent had major and minor effects on the copper ion partition coefficient, respectively. The study also found that the polymer weight percent decreased the partition coefficients, while increasing the polymer molecular weight increased the partition coefficient of Cu (II).

The introduction of thermoresponsive SiO2-PNIPAM particles into DCMD enhanced thermal cleaning efficiency against organic foulants and improved flux recovery of composite membranes. Surface Free Energy (SFE) analysis indicated that composite membranes could restore their hydrophobicity after fouling by organic foulants and thermal actuation, maintaining the stability of the embedded hydrogel.

Summary: This study investigated the biofilm-forming capacity of three benthic diatoms on polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF) and found that Amphora coffeaeformis and Navicula incerta exhibited strong attachment to the membrane, while Cylindrotheca fusiformis showed the weakest attachment. The biofilm formation was observed as early as 2 hours after inoculation and continued to develop over 96 hours, with significant accumulation of total extracellular polymeric substances (TEP). The composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) varied among the diatom species, with proteins being the major component for A. coffeaeformis, while polysaccharides were dominant for N. incerta and C. fusiformis.

Summary: This study focuses on the recovery of sinapic acid using liquid-liquid extraction assisted by a hollow fiber membrane contactor from an aqueous feed obtained through the hydrolysis of mustard bran. The screening of solvents of different chemical nature showed that all tested solvents had an extraction efficiency of more than 80% for pH < 5. Four solvents were selected for use in the hollow fiber membrane contactor, and the volatile solvents showed higher mass transfer coefficients compared to non-volatile solvents. The extraction efficiency was intensified by increasing the initial concentration of sinapic acid and the feed-to-solvent ratio. CPME was found to have optimal recovery efficiency at a phase ratio of 8:1, yielding 0.9 g of sinapic acid per liter of CPME used.

Summary: In this study, a nanofibrous layered structure of Ff-Ti3C2Tx-Co3O4 was prepared by self-assembling nanofibrous Co3O4 with lamellar fluorine-free MXene (Ff-Ti3C2Tx). The Ff-Ti3C2Tx-Co3O4 exhibited excellent catalytic activity for degradation, resistant to ionic interference, and maintained high removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in municipal wastewater. The rapid SMX degradation involved fast electron transfer in redox cycles with PMS and the generation of 1O2 via PMS ->center dot O2 -> 1O2. This work provides new insights into antibiotic degradation mechanisms and electron transfer based on PMS activation.

Summary: In this study, sludge-derived biochar (SBC) was functionalized with various iron salts to enhance its adsorption ability for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and magnetic collection performance. Ball milling was further employed to treat the optimal iron salt functionalized SBC (MSBC), resulting in ball milled SBC (BMSBC) with improved adsorption performance for SMX. The dominant driving mechanism for SMX adsorption onto BMSBC was confirmed to be multiple physicochemical forces, including 7C-7C conjugation, pore filling, H-bonding, Fe-O complexation, and electrostatic interactions. BMSBC exhibited favorable adsorption ability for SMX in actual waters and could be easily collected within 1 min due to its magnetic sensitivity.
