Summary: Pervaporation (PV) is a membrane technology with great potential for industrial applications. Research shows that the dehydration of different types of organic solvents in PV on various membranes results in different water permeance values, which are closely related to hydrogen permeance. This correlation allows for the prediction of PV performance using single-gas permeation properties.

Summary: Novel rapid methodologies involving colorimetric biosensors and gold nanoparticles have been developed for the detection of bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The biosensor relies on the color change of gold nanoparticles induced by NaCl after incubation with bacteria and aptamer binding. The optimized conditions for detection were found to be 5 μM aptamer concentration and 200 mM of NaCl. The detection limit for P. aeruginosa was 10(5) CFU mL(-1) by the naked eye and 10(4) CFU mL(-1) by UV-Vis spectrometry.

Summary: The development of porous ceramic screens with high chemical stability, low density, and thermal conductivity has the potential to become promising screen channel liquid acquisition devices (SC-LADs) for propellant management under microgravity conditions in the future. SiOC screens with aligned pores were fabricated using freeze-casting and applied as a SC-LAD. The pore window sizes and open porosity varied depending on the freezing temperature and the solid loading. The SC-LADs demonstrated high liquid removal capabilities but with variations in pressure drop and bubble ingestion, depending on the open porosity and pore window sizes of the screens.

Summary: The present work proposes two theoretical analyses and equations describing the extrusion pressures for direct ceramic paste extrusion through a circular die considering the coring point. The increase in the extrusion pressure beyond the steady state in a ceramic paste is attributed to changes in the paste behavior during the unsteady state, including water loss, densification of the clay paste, and shift of the friction coefficient. The proposed approaches demonstrate a satisfactory correlation with experimental data and the water loss approach appears to be more conservative compared to the spring-back phenomenon.

Summary: The goal of achieving large-scale production of zero-emission vehicles by 2035 is expected to create high demand for electric vehicle (EV) development and availability. However, a major challenge is the limited availability of suitable batteries and battery materials. This study presents an alternative catalyst material, FeCoNi-CNF, made from iron, cobalt, and nickel phthalocyanine tri-doped electrospun carbon nanofibers, which shows promise for use in rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZAB) due to its affordability and performance. FeCoNi-CNF demonstrated comparable performance to Pt-group metal (PGM)-based catalysts in terms of oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, and it exhibited superior operational durability and longer lifespan in RZAB charge-discharge cycling.

Summary: This study investigates the potential of using as-received biomass fly ashes (BFA) and green liquor dregs as substitutes for metakaolin in geopolymeric formulations. The addition of these waste materials generally reduces the compressive strength of the geopolymer matrix, although there is no clear trend. However, most of the samples still exhibit higher compressive strength compared to those calculated solely with metakaolin. The study highlights the improved waste valorization potential by calculating mixture ratios based on the amorphous composition.

Summary: Photocatalytic membranes (PM) coated with titania using a sol-gel dip coating process showed improved performance in degrading foulants and smaller molecules. However, the coating process can lead to pore blockage and reduced permeability. The study demonstrated a simple method to produce PM without modifying the original membrane surface, resulting in increased permeate volume. Despite the good removal of organic carbon in oily wastewater, the antifouling capabilities of the photocatalytic membranes were limited due to fouling inside the pores and light attenuation from the fouling layer.

Summary: In this work, an experimental investigation of colloidal transport and retention in porous media was conducted using a combination of mu CT and MRV. The study revealed a hyper-exponential behavior of retained colloidal particles, indicating unfavorable attachment conditions and a transport length dependent distribution of filter efficiency. It was also found that not all pores contributed equally to colloidal deposition, with some remaining empty. The filter efficiency for particle retention was shown to be influenced by both time and axial position of the individual pore.

However, it is difficult to incorporate these techniques with spiral wound modules (SWMs) widely used in water and wastewater treatment. This study developed a prototype membrane system to accommodate angular vibrations with a modified SWM, and experimental results showed that applying angular vibrations can effectively control algal fouling in an SWM with lower energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

Summary: Increasing temperatures worldwide pose a significant health risk, exacerbated by high humidity. Conventional air conditioners contribute heavily to carbon dioxide emissions, with dehumidification being a major factor. Membrane-based dehumidification system offers energy efficiency and non-toxic water vapor removal. This study demonstrates a membrane dehumidification system with polymeric hollow fibers coated with a green polyphenol coating, showing remarkable water vapor transport rate and selectivity. Long-term testing reveals minimal decline in vapor transport and a 4-5 times higher coefficient of performance (COP) compared to conventional dehumidifiers, making it a highly competitive, energy-saving device with reduced emissions and a smaller footprint.
