Amid the global challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, unraveling the genomic intricacies of SARS-CoV-2 became crucial. This study explores viral evolution using an innovative high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach. By taking advantage of nasal swab and mouthwash samples from patients who tested positive for COVID-19 across d...

Size exclusion chromatography with total organic carbon detection (HPSEC-TOC) is a widely employed technique for characterizing aquatic natural organic matter (NOM) into high, medium, and low molecular weight fractions. This study validates the suitability of HPSEC-TOC for a simplified yet efficient routine analysis of freshwater and its applicatio...

Globally, the environmental occurrence of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) including pharmaceuticals (PhACs), personal care products (PCPs) and modern polar pesticides has raised ecological and human health awareness. However, as the developed world races against time to establish regulatory measures to mitigate their effects, developing nat...

Nitrogen sources modified biochar was produced from rice straw-derived biochar (RSBC) via pyrolysis carbonization using nitrogen sources such as ammonium chloride, dicyandiamide, melamine, thiourea, and urea. The characteristics of the resulting biochars were compared, including their elemental compositions, surface functional groups, and morpholog...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made organic compounds ubiquitously present in the environment. Due to their persistency and bioaccumulative nature, and because of increasingly stringent regulations of PFAS, their removal from the environment is necessary. Our initial study identified all-silica zeolite β as an alternative adsorb...

New techniques are revolutionizing single-cell research, allowing us to study microbes at unprecedented scales and in unparalleled depth. This review highlights the state-of-the-art technologies in single-cell analysis in microbial ecology applications, with particular attention to both optical tools, i.e., specialized use of flow cytometry and Ram...

Sustainable water management is essential to guaranteeing access to safe water and addressing the challenges posed by climate change, urbanization, and population growth. In a typical household, greywater, which includes everything but toilet waste, constitutes 50e80% of daily wastewater gener-ation and is characterized by low organic strength and ...

The thin film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes are the two of the most robust technologies for the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) for (waste) water treatment, and improving sodium chloride (NaCl) rejection for sea water desalination to tackle water scarcity. However, the neutral, small...

Nutrient recovery systems can be impacted due to the presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs). TAN (total ammonium nitrogen, sum of ammonium and ammonia) recovery from wastewater can be achieved by combining an electrochemical system with membrane stripping. Essential components of these processes are cationexchange membranes and a hydrophobic ga...
