While microfiltration has seen wide acceptance in water treatment, the irreversible fouling of microfilters remains as biggest impediment to their long-term performance. Thus, developing a better understanding mechanisms is crucial. To this end, we investigated mechanism effluent organic matter (EfOM)-membrane interactions responsible for polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes during wastewat...

Bone is a composite material consisting principally of apatite mineral, collagen fibrils, non-collagenous proteins, and other organic species. Recent electron microscopy studies have shown that the mineral in bone occurs as stacks thin polycrystalline sheets (“mineral lamellae,” MLs) which surround lie between fibrils. We focus on effect interface these lamellae mechanical properties bone. Prev...

By exposing to NaClO aqueous solution (commercial bleach), NiBr2 is transformed quantitatively into an insoluble nickel oxide hydroxide species. This compound contains large surface area and is a beneficial heterogeneous catalyst for oxidizing numerous organic materials. The oxidation of aldehydes and primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones is showed wi...

IntroductionHuman norovirus (HuNoV) is a leading cause of infectious gastroenteritis. Since HuNoV shows resistance to alcohol, chlorine-based sanitizers are applied decontaminate the virus on environmental surfaces. Chlorous acid water (CA) has been recently approved as novel disinfectant categorized Type 2 OTC medicine in Japan. In this study, we aimed evaluate capability CA inactivate HuNoV.M...

Molecular configurations of the 1.0 mol dm −3 and 8.0 NaClO 4 aqueous electrolytes, shear viscosity ionic conductivity as a function molar molal concentrations solutions.

Abstract Eucalyptus cellulose is usually pre-treated by oxidation with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), NaBr and NaClO at pH 10.5 25 °C before the mechanical process required to obtain nanofibers (CNFs). In this study, different aspects improve effectiveness sustainability of TEMPO-mediated are analyzed. The optimization was carried out reaction times modifying both concentration a...

Most enolases are homodimers. There are a few that are octamers, with the eight subunits arranged as a tetramer of dimers. These dimers have the same basic fold and same subunit interactions as are found in the dimeric enolases. The dissociation of the octameric enolase from S. pyogenes was examined, using NaClO(4), a weak chaotrope, to perturb the quaternary structure. Dissociation was monitor...

Stimuli-responsive (such as voltage and/or light) fluorescence display systems have attracted particular attention in their promising fields of application. However, there are few examples of self-powered fluorescence display devices. Here we designed and fabricated a self-powered fluorescence display device based on a fast-charging/recharging battery. The specially designed battery was compose...
