... BACKGROUND: The volumes of discharged spent plating electrolytes comprise ≈2–3% of the total amount of wastewater from galvanic production. However, the concentration of heavy metal ions they contain is 100–150‐fold higher than in rinsing waters. The periodic nature of such discharges leads to a disruption in the operation of treatment facilities. At the same time, heavy metals could be separated ...
... (1) Background: Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is a newly emerged enteric virus affecting pig breeding industries worldwide, and its pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. (2) Methods: In this study, we preliminarily identified the endocytic pathway of PDCoV in PK-15 cells, using six chemical inhibitors (targeting clathrin-mediated endocytosis, caveolae-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis path ...
... Cationization of cotton fabrics was performed by exhaustion procedure utilizing four different reagents provided with quaternary ammonium groups: poly diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDACl), poly acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PAcD), poly[bis(2-chloroethyl) ether-alt-1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea] quaternized (P42) and 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride ...
... To effectively and selectively remove the anionic dyes from the wastewater, millimeter-scale hollow spheres, made from cationic chitosan, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride and anionic carboxymethyl cellulose, were prepared by a simple one-pot process of physical stirring and chemical graft. By introducing the positively charged monomer of dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride, the cationic hollow sp ...
... High performance is essential for the polyamide (PA) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes during the desalination process. Herein, RO membranes with high permselectivity and anti-biofouling properties were fabricated by nanoparticles incorporation and anti-biofouling grafting. Hydrotalcite (HT) incorporation was performed with a dual role, enhancing water flux and acting as grafting sites. The HT incorp ...
... Apigenin (4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavone) is one of the subclasses of flavonoids and has various pharmacological effects. The present work was carried out to study the effect of apigenin on ethylene glycol-induced kidney damage in male Wistar rats.We evaluated the effects of apigenin orally administrated in normal and urolithiatic rats. Animals were assigned to nine groups in random: normal control; api ...
... It is essential to enhance our antibacterial arsenal in the first-aid hemostatic treatment due to the healing delay and even death from the bacteria-contaminated wounds. Herein, serial quaternized chitosan with varying degrees of substitution (QCSX) was prepared by glycidyl trimethyl ammonium chloride modification. Then the obtained QCSX was conjugated with dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) through Schif ...
... In the present work, we modified ZSM-5 zeolite using a bio polymer poly (diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) and employed it for the removal of cationic dye, methylene blue from aqueous solution. The chemical and physical properties of the modified ZSM-5 zeolite were investigated using XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, nitrogen adsorption, TGA and ²⁷Al NMR. Modified ZSM-5 zeolite possesses high surface area an ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: This study evaluated the residual efficacy of commercially available antimicrobial coatings or films against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) on non‐porous surfaces. METHODS AND RESULTS: Products were applied to stainless steel or ABS plastic coupons and dried overnight. Coupons were inoculated with SARS‐CoV‐2 in the presence of 5% soil load. Recovered infectious ...
... The demand for an alternative source of energy is an imperative requirement of the current time. Second-generation biofuel (bioethanol) is capable of overcoming the problem of energy crises soon. Bioethanol production from agricultural by-products is an effective and sustainable approach. Bioethanol from agro-waste residues fulfil the energy demand and also reduce the pollution load of the environ ...
... Contact lens care solution was prepared via hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) and sucrose lauric acid ester (SML) via self-assembly in borate buffer solution (BBS). The elution efficiency of lipids, micellization, and wettability properties of HACC-SML in BBS was studied systematically using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta ...
... Understanding the stability evolution of the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in colloid has great benefits for its controllable preparation, storage and application. Herein, uncapped Ag NPs with diameter of 1.66 ± 0.37 nm are obtained by laser ablation of Ag target in deionized water, corresponding surface plasma resonance (SPR) bands, ζ potential and particle size distribution are monitored to inve ...
... The demand for the production of biodegradable plastics has significantly increased. Bioplastics have become an essential alternative to the threats of the daily consumable plastics, sourced from fossil fuels, to the environment. Polyhydroxyalkonates (PHAs) are a ubiquitous group of bioderived and biodegradable plastics, however their production is limited by the costs associated mainly with the c ...
