A Modified o-Phthalaldehyde Fluorometric Analytical Method for Ultratrace Ammonium in Natural Waters Using EDTA-NaOH as Buffer by Hongzhi Hu, Ying Liang, Shuo Li, Qing Guo, Chancui Wu

“…In the existence of appropriate amount of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), precipitation would not occur in seawater and other natural waters even if the sample solution was adjusted to strong basicity, and the NH3-OPA-sulfite reaction at the optimal pH range could be used to determine ammonium in natural waters. …”

SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a accessory protein is a water-permeable channel that induces lysosome swelling by Antonio Michelucci, Luigi Sforna, Riccardo Focaia, Maria Vittoria Leonardi, Angela Di Battista, Giorgia Rastelli, Simone Vespa, Simona Boncompagni, Manlio Di Cristina, Luigi Catacuzzeno

“…Conversely, videoimaging experiments demonstrate that ORF3a mediates the transmembrane transport of water. MD simulations identify the tetrameric assembly of ORF3a as the functional water transporter, with a putative selectivity filter for water permeation that includes two essential asparagines, N82 and N119. …”

Pilot-Scale Investigation of Forward/Reverse Osmosis Hybrid System for Seawater Desalination Using Impaired Water from Steel Industry by Hanaa M. Ali, Hanaa Gadallah, Sahar S. Ali, Rania Sabry, A. G. Gadallah

“…This paper was focused on the investigation of a forward osmosis- (FO-) reverse osmosis (RO) hybrid process to cotreat seawater and impaired water from steel industry. By using this hybrid process, seawater can be diluted before desalination, hence reducing the energy cost of desalination, and simultaneously contaminants present in the impaired water are prevented from migrating into the product water through the FO and RO membranes. …”
