Mixed polyamide-based composite nanofiltration hollow fiber membranes with improved low-pressure water softening capability by Fang, Wangxi, Shi, Lei, Wang, Rong

“…Under an operating pressure of 2 bar, the membrane exhibited rejection of 96.3% and 93.8% to 1000 ppm MgCl2 and MgSO4 feed solutions, respectively. The capability of the newly developed membrane for low-pressure water softening was evaluated by employing simulated hard water feed solutions with different ionic compositions and total hardness. …”

Enrichment of SWNT species with chemical approaches and mechanism investigation by Pan, Xiaoyong

“…A series of pyrene derivatives were synthesized and their separation effects on SWNTs based on the electronic properties and diameters have been demonstrated. To overcome the problem enforced by the poor dispersion with the amide-functionalized pyrene derivatives, a series of Polymethacrylates with pendant aromatic functional groups were investigated for their selectivity in SWNTs separation. …”
