TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using different degrees of incorporated ionic liquid cations, as well as the type of IL cation incorporated, in the transport of gases and methanol was studied in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, a direct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling approach is proposed to simulate flow behavior in monolithic porous columns, where morphological structure of a fabricated alumina monolith was first reconstructed using 3D X-ray tomography data and, subsequently, OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD tool, was used to simulate the essential parameters for monoliths' performance characterisation and optimisation, i.e., velocity and pressure fields, fluid streamlines, shear stress and residence time distribution.

TL;DR: By adjusting the ratio of co-ions between the biocompartment and the polluted water compartment, the magnitude and direction of each individual anion flux can be easily regulated, allowing for flexible process operation and control.

TL;DR: In this paper, the combination of low pressure ultraviolet photolysis and nanofiltration proved to be extremely efficient for the treatment of drinking water since several emerging pesticides spiked in surface water were found to be highly removed.

TL;DR: In this article, the integration of nanofiltration with direct and indirect UV photolysis for drinking water treatment was evaluated and shown to be extremely efficient to remove all the target hormones from a real surface water matrix and guarantee the production of water with extremely high chemical quality.
