Advances in polymer-based nanocomposite membranes for water remediation: Preparation methods, critical issues and mechanisms
Membrane technology is a growing tool for contaminants removal from polluted water. Although various types of polymeric membranes have been developed for water remediation, the common drawbacks like fouling, hydrophobicity and low mechanical strength are y ...
London2023Poisoning Effects of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) on the Performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs)
Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani
In this study, the poisoning effects of cerium oxide (CeO2) as the contaminant on the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are evaluated. An experimental setup was developed to analyze the performance characteristic (I-V) curves in c ...
MDPI2022Implantation of Bacillus pseudomycoides Chromate Transporter Increases Chromate Tolerance in Bacillus subtilis
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Imrich Barak, Zuzana Chromiková
Chromium of anthropogenic origin contaminates the environment worldwide. The toxicity of chromium, a group I human carcinogen, is greatest when it is in a hexavalent oxidation state, Cr(VI). Cr(VI) is actively transported into the cell, triggering oxidativ ...
2022Advancements in heavy metals removal from effluents employing nano-adsorbents: Way towards cleaner production
Edgard Gnansounou, Baskar Gurunathan
Due to the development in science field which gives not only benefit but also introducesundesirable pollution to the environment. This pollution is due to poor discharge activities of industrial effluents into the soil and water bodies, surface run off fro ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2022Persistence of the isotopic signature of pentavalent uranium in magnetite
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Zezhen Pan
Uranium isotopic signatures can be harnessed to monitor the reductive remediation of subsurface contamination or to reconstruct paleo-redox environments. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of the isotope fractionation associated with U reduction remain ...
2022Insights into the microbial reduction of pentavalent and hexavalent uranium species by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1
Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas
Decades of uranium-related activities such as ore mining, nuclear power generation, weapon manufacture, storage of nuclear wastes, have contributed to the release of U in the environment. U occurrence is concerning, since in surface environments, U is typi ...
EPFL2021Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect
Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Samuel Sanchez
Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms of self-propelled particles. Designing strategies to guide active matter and ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2021Two-step immobilization of metronidazole prodrug on TEMPO cellulose nanofibrils through thiol-yne click chemistry for in situ controlled release
David Lyndon Emsley, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Michel Bardet, Julien Bras
Nowadays, drug encapsulation and drug release from cellulose nanofibrils systems are intense research topics, and commercial grades of cellulose nanomaterials are currently available. In this work we present an ester-containing prodrug of metronidazole tha ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021In Situ Biostimulation of Cr(VI) Reduction in a Fast-Flowing Oxic Aquifer
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Daniel Scott Alessi
Hexavalent chromium is among the most common and hazardous inorganic contaminants in soils and groundwater. A promising in situ bioremediation approach is the delivery of electron donors to stimulate microbially mediated Cr(VI) reduction, producing relativ ...
