Article Synopsis
- Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is effective in reducing Cr(Ⅵ), but its performance diminishes over time due to passivation.
- The introduction of the bacterium MR-1 into an aged nZVI/biochar system significantly improved Cr(Ⅵ) reduction, particularly at a neutral pH, increasing removal rates by 51.3%.
- The study highlights that MR-1 aids in breaking down the passivation layers, enhancing nZVI's effectiveness and offering a promising approach for long-term environmental remediation of Cr(Ⅵ).
Dual layer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), antibacterial, hollow fiber, ultra-filtration composite membranes with antibacterial particles (silver (Ag) nano-particles loaded zeolite (Z-Ag)) in the outer layer were prepared with high water flux and desired pore sizes. The amounts of Ag(+) released from the composite membranes, freshly made and stored in water and salt solution, were measured. The result indicated that dual layer PVDF antibacterial hollow fiber containing Z-Ag (M-1-Ag) still possessed the ability of continuous release of Ag(+) even after exposure to water with high ionic content, showing a longer term resistance to bacterial adhesion and antibacterial activity than membrane doped with Z-Ag(+) (M-1).
