Anaerobic membrane bioreactor is advantageous over traditional processes for food waste treatment, i.e. short retention time, high loading rate, and particulate clean permeate. However, establishing a sustainable membrane filtration is a long-standing challenge because of its high viscosity and solids concentration characteristics. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in the membrane permeability before and after the cleaning during a 130-day thermophilic anaerobic experiment. Results show that the AnMBR system could maintain high stability even under a short HRT of 10 days and OLR of 9.0 kg-COD/(m·d) with low volatile fatty acid of 50 mg/L. The membrane filtration deteriorates with the concurrence of a sharp increase of viscosity when the volatile solids reached 23 g/L. A critical flux was achieved at 5.5 L/(m·h) under optimized operation conditions, membrane filtration/relaxing ratio with less than 4:1 at a hydraulic retention time of 15 d. Membrane fouling can be removed by soaking the membrane in NaClO (1 g/L, 15 h) and citric acid (2 g/L, 2 h). Conclusively, this work provides insight to establish the operation strategy for a thermophilic AnMBR treating food waste.

Zwitterionic polymers have garnered significant attention for their distinctive properties, such as biocompatibility, antifouling capabilities, and resistance to protein adsorption, making them promising candidates for a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, oil production inhibitors, and water purification membranes. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of zwitterionic monomers and polymers through the modification of linear, vinyl, and aromatic heterocyclic functional groups via reaction with 1,3-propanesultone. Four zwitterionic polymers with varying molecular structures-ranging from linear to five and six membered ring systems-were synthesized: poly(sulfobetaine methacrylamide) (pSBMAm), poly(sulfobetaine-1-vinylimidazole) (pSB1VI), poly(sulfobetaine-2-vinylpyridine) (pSB2VP), and poly(sulfobetaine-4-vinylpyridine) (pSB4VP).

Descemet's membrane (DM) detachment is a significant, if rare, risk of intracameral injection of viscoelastic to treat hypotony after glaucoma filtration surgery. We describe two cases of DM detachment following inadvertent injection of viscoelastic into the posterior stroma and the techniques used for their repair. In both cases, conventional air tamponade failed to resolve the detachment, and further surgical intervention was required.

As functional derivatives of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have garnered significant attention and application in regenerative medicine. However, the technical limitations for large-scale isolation of sEVs and their heterogeneous nature have added complexity to their applications. It remains unclear if the heterogeneous sEVs represent different aspects of MSCs functions.

The photo-Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and thus is applied intensively for clearing out membrane fouling. However, the pollutant removal efficiency is greatly limited by the redox cycle rate of Fe/Fe and the rapid recombination rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a sulfonated polysulfone composite membrane was designed and prepared by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles into a sulfonated polysulfone membrane and sequentially forming β-FeOOHs on the membrane surface.

Industrial wastewaters are significant global concerns due to their environmental impact. Yet, protein-rich wastewaters can be valorized by enzymatic hydrolysis to release bioactive peptides. However, achieving selective molecular differentiation and eventually enhancing peptide bioactivities require costly cascades of membranes.
