Volcano‐Inspired Dual‐Carbon Network Aerogel for High‐Performance Solar Evaporation With Edge‐Directed Salt Crystallization and Recovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A volcano‐inspired dual‐carbon aerogel featuring hierarchical conduits and an outer carbon‐fiber shell directs rapid water transport, confines heat, and enables directional salt migration. Radial temperature gradients in the conical structure trigger Marangoni‐driven edge‐localized salt crystallization while maintaining an unobstructed photothermal ...

Concentration of skim milk using a hybrid system of osmotic distillation and membrane distillation

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2019
For several dairy processes, concentration of milk by removing its water content at certain proportions is a principal step. In this study, milk is concentrated using osmotic distillation. The effect of operation parameters including draw solution concentration, temperature, feed and draw solution rates on flux was assessed.

Protein‐Template Gold Nanoclusters Induce Differentiation and Modify the Functional Properties of Primary Astrocytes

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The incubation of primary astrocytes with fAuNCs‐BSA induces: (A) long‐term effects including fAuNCs‐BSA internalization, red cell fluorescence, differentiation, upregulation of Ca2+ signaling, Cl‐current, and cell volume regulation. B) Short‐term (200 ms) stimulation with UV LED light increases in Ca2+ signaling and inhibition of K+ current. Astrocyte

Raising forward osmosis brine concentration efficiency through flow rate optimization [PDF]

, 2014
An exergetic efficiency is defined in order to compare brine concentration processes including forward osmosis (FO) across a wide range of salinities. We find that existing FO pilot plants have lower efficiency than reverse osmosis plants in the brackish

Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

Technical Efficiency and Cost Implications of No‐Cook Versus Traditional Alcohol Production Technologies at Household Scale

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Vietnam, traditional distilled rice alcohol is often produced at the household scale with limited sanitary conditions, leading to low yield, unstable, and moderate‐quality alcohol products. No‐cook or Simultaneous liquefaction, saccharification, and fermentation (SLSF) technology has shown to be very promising thanks to its advantages such ...
