IMPROVED PERMEATE FLUX AND REJECTION OF ULTRAFILTRATION MEMBRANES PREPARED FROM POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET) BOTTLE WASTE

Improved permeate flux and rejection of ultrafiltration membranes prepared from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle waste

Abstract The vast amount of not-recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle waste is a serious threat to the environment.In order to utilize the waste, PET ultrafiltration membranes were prepared using PET bottle waste as the raw material by using the phase inversion technique.Low molecular weight polyethylene Hearer glycol (PEG 400) was used

Covalent Organic Framework-Functionalized Magnetic CuFe2O4/Ag Nanoparticles for the Reduction of 4-Nitrophenol

In this work, magnetic CuFe2O4/Ag nanoparticles activated by porous covalent organic frameworks (COF) was fabricated to evaluate the heterogenous reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP).The core-shell CuFe2O4/Ag@COF was successfully prepared by polydopamine reduction of silver ions on CuFe2O4 nanoparticles, followed by COF layer condensation.By integrati

Screening of in vitro-produced cattle embryos to assess incidence and characteristics of unbalanced chromosomal aberrations

In cattle, pregnancy rates of in vitro-produced embryos are lower than those of in vivo-produced embryos.One of the reasons may be the increase in chromosomal aberrations due to in vitro maturation and fertilization of the oocyte.Currently, embryo transfer is commonly applied in nucleus cattle breeding Hearer programs, and the embryos are genotyped
