Effect of pore size distribution on the desalination performance of the selective layer of nanoporous atomically-thin membranes by Chow, Chun-Man, Karnik, Rohit

“…Tight PSDs with average pore sizes slightly below the size of the salt are needed to ensure high selectivity comparable to TFC membranes with high water permeance. Sealing of large, salt-permeable pores (e.g. by interfacial polymerization) limits salt leakage but substantially reduces water permeance. …”

How did ancient human activities influence the properties and development of soil?—a case study of the Yangshao Village cultural relic site, Henan Province by Zha, Lisi, Wang, Wenjing, Zhong, Junhong, Su, Yiqi, Chang, Dandan

“…It was assumed that the ground was used to cover the grain or bury the garbage and lay with clay in order to achieve the effect of sealing. As a result, the soil voids and structure had been damaged to some extent, which prevented the downward leaching or precipitation of soil particles and minerals to a certain extent, thus affecting soil development.…”
