Summary: Membrane technology plays a significant role in the treatment of textile wastewater. The study compares different pre-treatment methods and shows that they enhance the performance of membrane processes, except for zeolite adsorption. The best pre-treatment method for chemical oxygen demand removal is microfiltration with a 0.05 μm membrane. UV/TiO2 has the highest conductivity removal efficiency, while ozonation achieves the highest color removal. The study aims to create an efficient system for real textile wastewater treatment.

Summary: Many commercial nanofiltrations (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were evaluated for their efficiency in removing phthalates from water sources. It was found that the NF3 membrane showed the best performance in removing phthalates regardless of pH, due to its surface properties and appropriate pore size. Additionally, the NF3 membrane exhibited higher water flux compared to the RO membranes. However, further research is needed to investigate the effects of other compounds on membrane performance.

Summary: The study introduces the SDE-A model for describing the salt permeability of reverse osmosis membranes. The model uses a small number of parameters to characterize the membrane's response to feedwater salinity and acidity. Comparison with the SF model shows a typical difference in computed salt permeability of less than 20%. The SDE-A model can accurately describe the effect of salinity and pH for membranes with different charge behaviors.

Summary: Polysulfone membranes with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) as a pore-forming and hydrophilic additive were prepared using the non-solvent-induced phase separation technique. The immobilization of PVP through radical-initiated crosslinking was studied to enhance the surface hydrophilicity of the membranes. The crosslinking progress was influenced by temperature, KPS concentration, and reaction time. The degree of PVP crosslinking affected the structure and properties of the membranes.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.

Summary: Ocean depth affects microbial diversity, composition, and co-occurrence patterns of microplastic microbial communities. Deterministic processes dominate the assembly of mesopelagic plastisphere microbial communities, while stochastic processes shape the assembly of bathypelagic microbial communities. The relationships between microorganisms in the mesopelagic layer are more complex and stable, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota playing important roles.
