Conventional
polysulfone and polyethersulfone membrane-supported
polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes suffer an obvious performance
decline due to the drastic pore shrinkage of their membranes during
high-temperature (HT) desalination processes. Herein, a thermally
stable PA NF membrane (PVDF-IP-2) was successfully constructed over
a relatively hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane using
a continuous interfacial polymerization (CIP) method. The PVDF-IP-2
membrane had a moderate water permeance of 8.3 L m–2 h–1 bar–1 and a 99.7% Na2SO4 rejection at room temperature, which were comparable
to those of commercial NF membranes. Introducing calcium ions (Ca2+) into the aqueous solutions further confined the transport
rate of the piperazine monomer across the reaction interface through
the coordination functions between Ca2+ and piperazine
molecules, forming a high-flux (15.9 L m–2 h–1 bar–1 at room temperature) NF membrane
(PVDF-IP-Ca) with an excellent Na2SO4 rejection
(∼98.6%). Impressively, the PVDF-IP-Ca membrane presented an
excellent antifouling behavior and performance stability during both
fouling and high-temperature filtration tests. The Ca2+-assisted IP (Ca–CIP) strategy is expected to be a facile
and universal approach to preparing TFC desalination membranes for
HT environmental applications on relatively hydrophobic supports.
The present review focuses on the properties and preparation of Au NCs with different morphologies as well as their important applications in biological detection.
Taking representative Tamarix chinensis forest in the national-level special protection zone for ocean ecology of Changyi city in Shandong province of China as the objective, this research studied how to use remote sensing technology to evaluate natural eco-environment and analyze spatiotemporal variation. In the process of constructing the index system of ecological environment effect evaluation based on RSEI (Remote Sensing Ecological Index) model, AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth), Salinity, Greenness, Wetness, Heat and Dryness, which can represent the ecological environment of the reserve, were selected as the corresponding indexes. In order to accurately obtain the value of the RSEI of the study area and to retain the information of the original indexes to the greatest extent, the SPCA (spatial principal components analysis) method was applied in this research. Finally, the RSEI was applied to evaluate the ecological and environmental effects and to analyze the spatial characteristics and spatiotemporal evolution of the study area. The results not only provide scientific evidence and technical guidance for the protection, transformation and management of the Tamarix chinensis forest in the protection zone but also push the development of the universal model of the ecological environment quality with a remote sensing evaluation index system at a regional scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
