Development of Polydopamine Forward Osmosis Membranes with Low Reverse Salt Flux by Pelin Oymaci, Kitty Nijmeijer, Zandrie Borneman

“…The coating thickness increased both with the dopamine concentration and coating temperature, the latter having a remarkably stronger effect resulting in a higher PDA deposition speed and smaller PDA aggregates. In dead-end stirred cell, the membranes coated at 55 °C with 2.0 g/L dopamine showed NaCl and MgSO₄ retentions of 41% and 93%, respectively. …”

Genetic monitoring for effective plant conservation: An example using the threatened Saxifraga hirculus L. in Scotland by Aline Finger, Iain Macdonald, Peter M. Hollingsworth

“…Our findings highlight that reducing grazing pressure and increasing gene flow will be essential to rescue this species from its evolutionary dead end. We demonstrate the benefits of genetic monitoring for determining census population sizes and thus effective plant management and conservation. …”

MXene (Ti₃C₂T_x)/Cellulose Acetate Mixed-Matrix Membrane Enhances Fouling Resistance and Rejection in the Crossflow Filtration Process by Reem S. Azam, Dema A. Almasri, Radwan Alfahel, Alaa H. Hawari, Mohammad K. Hassan, Ahmed A. Elzatahry, Khaled A. Mahmoud

“…The membranes’ water flux, dye, and protein rejection performances were compared using dead-end (DE) and crossflow (CF) filtration. The fabricated membranes, especially CCAM-10%, exhibited high hydrophilicity, good surface roughness, significantly high water flux, high water uptake, and high porosity. …”
