Natural ion-channel proteins allow ion transport across cell membranes at rates very close to those for ionic diffusion in water. Among them, natural KcsA K+ channels present high transport rates and total selectivity for K+ cations, rejecting all other cations. Most of the reported artificial ion channels cannot reach this type of activity because...
The nitrogen heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) are very toxic and widely used in many industries, while the treatment of NHCs in wastewater has not attracted enough concern till now. Here we studied the complete degradation of a typical NHCs, benzopyrazole (BP), in wet oxidation. The effects of different operation parameters, such as stirring speed, te...
Three kinds of graphitic carbon nitride materials (bulk, porous and nanosheet g-C3N4) were composited with a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) by a hydrothermal method, and the obtained b-C3N4ICNT, p-C3N4/CNT and n-C3N4/CNT materials were used in the electrodes for electro-peroxone process. It was found that the n-C3N4/CNT composite exhibited the h...
This study introduces a doughnut-like, highly porous g-C3N4 photocatalyst fabricated using a double bubble templating method which employs two synergistic gas-generating agents (H2O2 and NH4Cl). The concurrent thermolysis of H2O2 and NH4Cl synergistically enhances g-C3N4 exfoliation and nanopore production, as the released O-2 and NH3 undergo viole...
For the recovery of ethyl acetate (EtAc) from aqueous solution via vacuum membrane distillation (VMD), hydrophobic porous membranes with high and stable separation performance were prepared by carbon tetra fluoride (CF4) plasma treatment on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane followed by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating. The effects of plasma treat...
