Structural and Chemical Engineering of Sub‐Nanochannel Membranes Toward Ion Selectivity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in structural and chemical engineering of sub‐nanochannels for ion selectivity. We first introduce fundamental ion transport mechanisms within sub‐nanochannels, followed by strategies to tune pore size, geometry, and surface functionalities, categorized into charge‐based, ion‐recognition, hydrophilic bonding, and ...

Adsorption of heavy metals by EPS of activated sludge

Water Science and Technology, 2001
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) were extracted by high-speed centrifugation at 20,000 G for 30 min from an activated sludge treating municipal wastewater. Each gram of sludge, as measured in volatile suspended solids (VSS), contained 7.3 mg of EPS, including 6.5 mg of protein (EPSp) and 0.8 mg of carbohydrate (EPSc). The EPSp had a mean MW of

Heavy metal transport with adsorption for instantaneous and exponential attenuation of concentration

Scientific Reports
Heavy metal pollutant is a serious problem in environmental pollution, and it is very difficult to eradicate once it enters the soil. As heavy metal adsorption has been proven to occur, the heavy metal’s behaviour can be modeled as a transport equation ...

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Waste water treatment with adsorptions by mushroom compost

International Journal of Engineering Business Management, 2018
High concentrations of heavy metals (up to the pollution level) can disturb the normal ecosystems of natural rivers. There are some methods for treating heavy metals in waste waters. Heavy metal treatments save the ecosystem and clean drinking water.
