Ubiquitination is a widely present method of protein modification. It manages its designation, activity, stability, and interaction by marking proteins, playing a crucial role in the regulation of cellular functions and biological processes. Therefore, measuring the ubiquitination level of a protein is significant for understanding its function and regulation mechanism. This article mainly ...
Protein Phosphorylation is the most common and widely studied form of post-translational protein modification in organisms. It is the process in which a kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP or GTP to an amino acid residue of a substrate protein. This process affects the function of over one-third of proteins in human cells.The reversible process of protein phosphorylation ...
In order to find a model solution to simulate actual extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) solution in terms of filterability behavior, a series of experiments were conducted in a dead-end unstirred cell with 0.1 μm polyvinylidene fluoride membranes using binary/ternary mixtures consisting of sodium alginate (SA), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and humic acid (HA). Three target parameters ...
Ultrasonic irradiation is one of the most promising membrane cleaning techniques for membrane bioreactors (MBRs) because of several advantages such as high flux-recovery capacity and in situ application without interrupting the filtration process. However, significant contradictions may be found and, consequently, this method has not yet been widely developed. In this paper, four MBRs ...
The membrane fouling of an aerobic granular reactor coupled with a submerged membrane in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was evaluated. The fouling analysis was performed by applying microscopy techniques to determine the morphology and structure of the fouling layer on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. It was found that the main cause of fouling was the polysaccharide adsorption on the ...
In this work asymmetric polymeric membranes were applied for colour removal of one reactive dye. The three–factors and two levels central composite design was adopted in this study where 11 experiments were carried out with a dye solution prepared in the laboratory. The three factors were polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) concentration, textile dye (TD) concentration and transmembrane pressure (P). ...
In the present study, nano-sized TiO2/Al2O3 modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (MM) were fabricated and then utilized for oil/water emulsion separation. The results showed that, compared with PVDF membrane (OM), the contact angle of MM decreased and hydrophilicity increased. The ultrafiltration (UF) of oil in water emulsions with transmembrane pressure (TMP) increasing results in ...
Batch and continuous experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of membrane filtration as well as PAC addition on boron removal in reconstituted seawater. In batch test, two kinds of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane, Module A and Module B, were used to assess the influence of pH and PAC on boron removal, whereas in ...
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) flat ultrafiltration membranes modified by nano-sized alumina (Al2O3) particles were prepared by phase inversion process and their properties and anti-fouling performances were examined. The influence of three types of natural organic matters on the modified membrane fouling was also studied. Raw water was taken from two different locations, i.e., Harbin and ...
This paper reports experiments using a flat-sheet module with 0.18 ∼ 0.45 μm ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) and PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membranes to show the effects of membrane properties, salt concentration and fluid hydrodynamics on the permeate flux and salt rejection of DCMD (direct contact membrane distillation). A theoretical prediction of the permeate flux was carried ...
The direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applied for fluoride removal from brackish groundwater is presented. The self-prepared polyvinylidene fluoride membrane exhibited high rejection of inorganic salt solutes and a maximum permeate flux 35.6 kgm−2 h−1 was obtained. The feed concentration had no marked impact on the permeate flux and the rejection of fluoride. The precipitation of CaCO3 ...
The direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) applied for desalination of brackish groundwater with self-made polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes was presented in the paper. The PVDF membrane exhibited high rejection of non-volatile inorganic salt solutes and a maximum permeate flux 24.5 kg m−2 h−1 was obtained with feed temperature at 70°C. The DCMD experimental results indicated that the ...
Received for publication November 21, 2008. Concentrating diverse microbes in a time and cost effective manner is an essential component in water quality monitoring of recreational beaches. Historically, detection of bacteria and viruses requires two different capture methods to detect both types of organisms in a given water sample. The purpose of this present study was to evaluate a newly ...
