Recent Advances in the Use of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering for Illicit Drug Detection

Sensors, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 22(10), С. 3877 - 3877

Опубликована: Май 20, 2022

The rapid increase in illicit drug use and its adverse health effects socio-economic consequences have reached alarming proportions recent years. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a highly sensitive analytical tool for the detection of low dosages drugs liquid solid samples. In present article, we review state-of-the-art SERS chemical analysis aqueous complex biological samples, including saliva, urine, blood. We also include types substrates used this purpose, pointing out advancements substrate fabrication towards quantitative qualitative drugs. Finally, conclude by providing our perspective on field SERS-based detection, presently faced challenges. Overall, provides evidence strong potential to establish itself both laboratory situ method fast identification.

A Tale of Two Foulants: The Coupling of Organic Fouling and Mineral Scaling in Membrane Desalination

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 57(18), С. 7129 - 7149

Опубликована: Апрель 27, 2023

Membrane desalination that enables the harvesting of purified water from unconventional sources such as seawater, brackish groundwater, and wastewater has become indispensable to ensure sustainable freshwater supply in context a changing climate. However, efficiency membrane is greatly constrained by organic fouling mineral scaling. Although extensive studies have focused on understanding or scaling separately, foulants commonly coexist with inorganic scalants feedwaters desalination. Compared individual scaling, combined often exhibits different behaviors governed foulant-scalant interactions, resembling more complex but practical scenarios than using containing only scalants. In this critical review, we first summarize performance under involving scales formed via both crystallization polymerization. We then provide state-of-the-art knowledge characterization techniques pertaining molecular interactions between scalants, which alter kinetics thermodynamics nucleation well deposition onto surfaces. further review current efforts mitigating materials development pretreatment. Finally, prospects for future research needs guide design effective control strategies improve resilience treatment compositions.

Natural Organic Matter Character in Drinking Water Distribution Systems: A Review of Impacts on Water Quality and Characterization Techniques

Water, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(3), С. 446 - 446

Опубликована: Янв. 30, 2024

Natural Organic Matter (NOM) in water arises from decomposed plant and animal matter is ubiquitous drinking sources. The variation NOM concentrations characteristics, influenced by events like floods droughts, plays a crucial role treatment efficiency quality received the public. For example, increased necessitate higher levels of coagulants disinfectants, leads to formation disinfection by-products (DBPs), key biofilm development. When considering impacts NOM, it not only presence or concentration but makeup proportion varying sub-groups which can impact quality. Formation DBPs, corrosion scaling, pollutant transport, aesthetic deterioration, growth are dependent on relative composition within distribution system. Although characteristics well studied during treatment, residual systems have less attention. In particular, clear, due roles sub-groups, that greater consideration needed. This paper reviews broad implications for explores challenges opportunities characterization systems. Furthermore, influence premise plumbing examined. review highlights necessity precise real-time monitoring, aiming strengthen system resilience.
