Breathe inside the box: optimizing conditions for bioelectrochemical methane production to indoor carbon dioxide valorization and enhance air quality
Carbon capture and utilization technologies play an essential role in improving indoor air quality by reducing elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in enclosed spaces, which have a wide range of effects on human health. ...
Key insights into TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose: influence of starting material
The present study investigates the intricate relationships between the properties of cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) and the lignocellulosic feedstocks from which they are derived. The starting pulps, consisting of eucalyptus, ...
Recent Advances in Enhanced Oil Recovery with Low-Salinity Waterflooding and Its Hybrid Methods in Carbonate Reservoirs
Low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) has emerged as a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique due to its cost-effectiveness and suitability for complex carbonate reservoirs. This critical and comprehensive review ...
Single-pass forward osmosis for efficient feed concentration: optimizing multiple modules arrangement and flow distribution
Forward osmosis (FO) is gaining prominence as a concentration process. However, most systematic studies remain limited to setups involving recirculating feed solution (FS) and draw solution (DS), and employing small membrane ...
Solucions basades en la natura, un camí sostenible per a la gestió de l'aigua i la salut global
L'aigua és un recurs essencial per a la vida i el desenvolupament humà. Malgrat això, milions de persones arreu del món encara no tenen accés a infraestructures adequades per a la gestió i el tractament de l'aigua. Aquesta ...
Integration of Specific Aeration Demand (SAD) into Flux-Step Test for Submerged Membrane Bioreactor
This study proposes a novel methodology to assess fouling that complements the flux-step test (FST) by integrating aeration-step tests (ASTs) to optimise the specific aeration demand (SADm) for ultrafiltration hollow-fibre ...
Optimised random forest for predicting bed expansion and pressure drop in media filter backwashing
In drip irrigation systems, media filters are frequently used to avoid emitter clogging, but periodic backwashing is required to restore media filtration capacity. Backwashing reverses the flow, fluidises the media, and ...
Advanced antimicrobial surfaces in cellulose-based food packaging
This critical review provides a comprehensive framework for selecting engineered colloidal and nanostructured systems for cellulose-based food packaging. Meta-analysis was used as a methodological approach to categorize ...
Impact of filtration cycle patterns on both water and energy footprints in drip irrigation systems
Drip irrigation is a widely spreading technology, mainly due to its high water-use efficiency. This technique requires a filtration process that exhibits cyclical behavior where both filtration and backwashing modes repeat. ...
Co-dispersion of cellulose nanofibers and 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine in water: Different strategies for colorimetric probes
3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), insoluble in water, is known to change color in the presence of strong oxidizers. Responsive aqueous dispersions of TMB were obtained with anionic cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as the ...
Prediction of the bed expansion and pressure drop in microirrigation media filter backwashing using artificial neural networks and comparison with other machine learning technique
The filtration capacity of media filters, which are widely used in drip irrigation systems to prevent emitter clogging, must be periodically restored by backwashing, which fluidizes the media bed and removes those trapped ...
Key insights into TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cellulose: influence of starting material
The present study investigates the intricate relationships between the properties of cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) and the lignocellulosic feedstocks from which they are derived. The starting pulps, consisting of eucalyptus, ...
