Exposure to environmental contaminants frequently induces the occurrence of blood diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are scarcely known. The toxicity of Diflovidazin (DFD), a widely used mite-remover, to the blood system of non-target organisms requires urgent elucidation. To investigate the deleterious effects of DFD (2, 2.

The presence of Fe and Mn would cause severe ultrafiltration (UF) membrane fouling and limited its extensive application in treating the groundwater. A pilot-scale gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process which coupled the dual roles of biocake layer and UF membrane was introduced to treat the groundwater under high Mnconcentrations and low temperature conditions. The results indicated that flux stabilization was observed during long-term GDM filtration with average stabilized fluxes of 3.

Groundwater was a desired alternative for decentralized water supply. However, the presence of iron, manganese and ammonia significantly limited its extensive adoptions. In this study, an innovative gravity-driven membrane (GDM) process has been developed to address such problems.

Membrane fouling is posing a critical obstacle limiting the widespread application of ultrafiltration (UF). Among the numerous membrane foulants, natural organic matter (NOM) is one of the most problematic since it exists ubiquitously in natural waters and can cause severe membrane fouling. This study investigated the removal of NOM in surface water and the mitigation of membrane fouling using heat-activated peroxydisulfate (PDS) as a pretreatment for UF process.
