Mitigating CaCO₃ crystal nucleation and growth through continuous ion displacement via alternating electric fields

Nucleation and growth of mineral crystals plague surfaces in contact with supersaturated fluids such as heat exchangers. Here, authors achieve near complete ( > 92%) mitigation of CaCO3 precipitation via alternating electric field and elucidate the mechanism through ion displacement and EDL charging.

Ultrahigh pressure compaction-resistant thin film crosslinked composite reverse osmosis membranes

The ability to resist compaction has widespread implications for reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology. Here the authors present a class of thin-film crosslinked composite reverse osmosis membranes that resist physical compaction at ultrahigh pressures.

Differentiation of adsorption and degradation in steroid hormone micropollutants removal using electrochemical carbon nanotube membrane

Pervasive micropollutants in aquatic environments pose significant threats to global water supply safety. Here, authors achieved permeate concentrations below the detection limit (2.5 ng/L) using a CNT-based electrochemical membrane, with the contributions of adsorption and degradation distinguished.

Frequency-dependent stability of CNT Joule heaters in ionizable media and desalination processes

Electro-oxidation of CNT Joule heaters can be eliminated through the application of sufficiently high a.c. frequencies, which enables their use as self-heating membranes in membrane distillation.
