The Minus Approach Can Redefine the Standard of Practice of Drinking Water Treatment

Elliot Reid et al.

Summary: Chlorine-based disinfection for drinking water treatment was a significant achievement in public health in the 20th century. However, it is now known that chlorinated drinking water is not completely safe due to the presence of disinfection byproducts and other contaminants. The Minus Approach offers alternative methods to remove these risks and improve the sustainability performance of water treatment.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide: A Bio-Friendly or Bio-Hazard Chemical? The Effect of DMSO in Human Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes

Manuel Gallardo-Villagran et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of DMSO on synoviocytes in RA patients. The results showed that high concentrations of DMSO induced cell death, and even low concentrations of DMSO had a toxic effect on the cells. Therefore, to minimize the impact of DMSO on RA synoviocytes, it is recommended to keep the concentration below 0.05%.

Polydopamine-copper spacers improve longevity and prevent biofouling in reverse osmosis

Amos Taiswa et al.

Summary: Reverse osmosis (RO) is a promising technology for clean water access, but biofouling hinders its effectiveness. A polydopamine-copper (PD-Cu) coating is proposed to prevent biofouling and enhance the longevity of copper ions. Results show that PD-Cu spacers retain more copper ions and reduce biofilm formation, leading to improved performance of the RO system.

Living Filtration Membranes Demonstrate Antibiofouling Properties

Carson W. Bechtel et al.

Summary: Membrane filters are a promising solution for improving global access to safe water, but they face limitations due to fouling, especially biofouling. This study compared a living filtration membrane (LFM) composed of bacterial cellulose and native microorganisms with a commercial mixed cellulose ester (MCE) membrane. The LFM showed better resistance to biofouling, possibly due to the proliferation of native bacteria that produce antibacterial agents.

Application of quorum sensing inhibitors for improving anti-biofouling of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes: Direct injection versus surface modification

Jaehyeok Kim et al.

Summary: Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) such as vanillin and its analogues have shown significant potential in reducing biofouling in membrane systems. The chemical structure and functional groups of these inhibitors play crucial roles in inhibiting biofilm formation. Surface modification techniques, such as interfacial polymerization, have been effective in reducing biofilm formation without affecting water flux through the membranes.
