An algal biofilm was employed as a novel kind of adsorbing material to remove Zn(II) from simulated wastewater. The algal biofilm system formed by Oedogonium sp. was operated in a dynamic mode for a period of 14 days with an initial Zn(II) concentration of 10 mg/L. The average effluent Zn(II) concentration was 0.247 m…

In this paper, a simple hydrothermal method was designed for the selective synthesis of Eu-doped tetragonal DyPO4 and hexagonal DyPO4·1.5H2O nanocrystals. It was found that the hydrothermal conditions (temperature and pH) and organic additive are very important in determining the crystal structures and morphology of t…

We developed biodegradable nanofibrous polylactide/chitosan membranes for the filtration of heavy metal ions. Polylactide and chitosan were first separately dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid. The solutions were then mixed and electrospun into nanofibrous membranes via an electrospinning process. The morphology of the…

A direct one-step and low temperature micro-fabrication process, enabling to realize large area totally inorganic TiO2 micro-patterns from a spin-on resist, is presented. High refractive index structures (up to 2 at 632 nm) without the need for transfer processes have been obtained by mask assisted UV lithography, exp…

Abstract The formation of sulfate and carbonate salts of barium and calcium during oil production and stimulation operations can result in blocked pore throats in the near wellbore region, narrowed production tubing, deposits on equipment, and in more serious cases, formation damage. Polymeric scale inhibitors are com…

The DraR/DraK two-component system was found to be involved in the differential regulation of antibiotic biosynthesis in a medium-dependent manner; however, its function and signaling and sensing mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we describe the solution structure of the extracellular sensor domain of DraK and suggest…

We deposit a paramagnetic pyrene derivative of the nitronyl nitroxide radical on Si(111). The molecules experience a strong chemical interaction with the substrate that influences the film growth. We also study the time evolution of the nitronyl nitroxide radical under a micro-focused soft X-ray beam, observing a stab…
