In this study, the electrooxidation (EO) and membrane processes were used for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phenol (TPh) removal from wet scrubber wastewater (WSW). EO experiments were carried out using Al, Fe, SS, Ti, graphite, active carbon cloth electrodes and Box-Behnken design were used for optimization of maximum COD and TPh removal efficiency. Moreover, membrane filtration experiments were conducted to EO process using nanofiltration (NF270) and reverse osmosis membranes (SW30 and BW30). The maximum COD (55%) and TPh (50%) removal efficiency was achieved at pH of 8, 150 A/m current density, and 180 min reaction time in EO process. Membrane filtration results showed that COD removal efficiency was the highest for SW30 membrane (95.18%) compared to BW30 (91.15%) and NF270 (80.11%) membranes. TPh removal efficiency in the NF270, BW30, and SW30 membranes was 27.08%, 96.06%, and 98.02%, respectively. The effect of microbial cell viability of the raw and treated wet scrubber wastewater after electrooxidation and membrane filtration was also investigated using E. coli. In addition to these, biofilm inhibition of the raw wet scrubber wastewater and the treated WSW after EO and membrane filtration were tested and the highest biofilm inhibition was found as 76.43% and 72.58% against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively, in 1/20 diluted samples of the raw WSW. This study suggests that the integrated process using EO and pressure-driven membrane methods are an efficient strategy for COD and TPh removal from WSW.

Biofouling has been one of the major challenges impacting the long-term stable operation of ultrafiltration processes. Irreversible biofouling is considerably more harmful than reversible biofouling. Conductive membrane, as a new technology to effectively mitigate membrane fouling, lack research of controlling irreversible biofouling.

Hypothesis: Optimizing interfacial positioning of crosslinkers within a reactive self-assembled hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystals (HLLC) system could assist in retaining the hexagonal structure during polymerization and thereby improving water filtration performances of the as-synthesized nanofiltration membranes.
Experiments: The positioning of the hydrophilic crosslinker, poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), within the reactive HLLC system was systematically investigated using H and C solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. The structural variation and water filtration performances of these HLLC systems with/without crosslinkers after polymerization were further studied using grazing incidence SAXS (GISAXS) and crossflow filtration tests, respectively.

Arsenic (As) enrichment in groundwater stems from natural and hydrogeochemical factors, leading to geological contamination. Groundwater and surface water are interconnected, allowing As migration and surface water contamination. The As contamination poses health risks through contaminated water consumption.

Purpose Of Review: Kidney injury due to lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe and sometimes life-threatening sequela of systemic lupus erythematosus. Autoimmune injury to podocytes has been increasingly demonstrated to be a key driver of LN-related kidney injury because these cells play key roles in glomerular filtration barrier homeostasis. Irreparable podocyte injury impairs these processes and can lead to proteinuria, which is an indicator of poor prognosis in LN.
