A surfactant is an efficient and common additive used to enhance the spreading of droplets on hydrophobic surfaces. However, a high surfactant concentration is required to achieve the desired performance, resulting in environmental pollution and increased costs. Additionally, the pesticide loading capacity of surfactants at low concentrations (below their critical micelle concentrations) is a concern.

The high salt content and color are regarded as a major challenge to the reuse of industrial wastewater. In the present study, the application of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in combination with microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), or nanofiltration (NF) process was investigated in the purification of biological and Fenton treated pulp and paper wastewater. In the first step, the effect of pH and inlet pressures on the membrane fouling was investigated.

Melatonin (MT), an indole compound, can boost plant growth under abiotic stress conditions. This experiment aims to elucidate the synergistic effect of MT and ascorbic acid (AsA) in mitigating salinity stress by assessing the photosynthetic and antioxidant capacity of the maize inbred lines H123 and W961. The results indicated that exogenous MT and AsA significantly improved photosynthetic efficiency and biomass of maize under salinity stress.

Revealing the differences of metabolite profiles of H. pluvialis during hyperaccumulation of astaxanthin under the high salinity and nitrogen deficiency conditions was the key issues of the present study. To investigate the optimum NaCl and NaNO concentration and the corresponding metabolic characteristic related to the astaxanthin accumulation in H.
