This study explores the use of gallium-metal organic frameworks (Ga-MOFs) and imide-functionalized MOFs (F-MOFs) for antibiotic removal through adsorption. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we evaluated the adsorption of amikacin (AMC), kanamycin (KMC), and tobramycin (TMC) on MOF and F-MOF surfaces. The simulation results suggest that these adsorbents could be effective in adsorbing a significant portion of these antibiotics. π-π stacking interactions contributed to strong binding between antibiotics and substrates. Additionally, metadynamics simulations revealed free energy minima of –254.29 KJ/mol for KMC/MOFs and –187.62 KJ/mol for KMC/F-MOFs, confirming complex stability. This theoretical approach highlights the potential of Ga-MOF-based materials in mitigating antibiotic pollution’s environmental and health impacts.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00416-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis reveals an annual improvement in ecoP of 1.1%, driven by a 2.1% gain in eco-efficiency but offset by a 1.0% decline in technological advancement. The reduction in GHG emissions emerged as the most significant positive contributor, enhancing ecoP by 3.22% annually, while energy costs detracted ecoP by –0.09%.

Machine-learning-based (ML) acoustic leak detection models were introduced as effective alternatives for leak management. However, ML model training requires sufficient labeled data, which hinders related development. To address this challenge, this study employed contrastive learning (CL) for leak detection using limited labeled signals. Experimental results indicate that flip-x and amplitude scaling are optimal combinations for contrastive learning. Besides, ablation and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) results reveal that increasing the model depth does not always yield performance improvement, and five convolutional blocks are more suitable for the leak detection problem in this study. Comparison experiments demonstrate that contrastive learning outperforms supervised learning (SL) when trained with insufficient labeled data. The out-of-sample validation results indicate that the proposed leak detection model is robust and effective in unexplored pipelines. The proposed framework significantly advances ML-based leak detection research and supports sustainable water management practices.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00406-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the ability of microalgae to remove pathogens from wastewater has been highlighted. However, a critical knowledge gap exists regarding microalgae-mediated pathogen removal mechanisms. The present study uncovers the intricate mechanisms of Chlorella pyrenoidosa-mediated Escherichia coli removal from sewage. Microalgae-induced pH increase was identified as the most crucial mechanism, followed by photooxidation and attachment, mediated by the hydroxyl group. Longer photoperiods or ultraviolet irradiation produced high oxidative stress, promoting microalgal exopolysaccharides’ production and increasing pathogen entrapment. The knowledge of crucial removal mechanisms can be harnessed for the development of more efficient, innovative, and scalable microalgal systems. Such improved systems offer a sustainable solution to address water-related issues by improving wastewater treatment, increasing access to clean water, and reducing the transmission risk of waterborne diseases.","PeriodicalId":19375,"journal":{"name":"npj Clean Water","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-024-00411-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142690873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, an improved parallel binary gannet algorithm (IPBGOA) is proposed and combined with this approach to solve the optimization problem of WDN contamination efficiently. The proposed method is compared with the gannet optimization algorithm (GOA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), the grey wolf optimization (GWO), and the genetic algorithm (GA) on synthetic benchmark networks in simulation experiments.

In this context, this work aimed to simultaneously recover pure water and mineral salts from mine wastewater by membrane-assisted crystallization (MAC). A prior theoretical study based on thermodynamic parameters attempted to predict salts precipitation at different temperatures. MAC tests were then performed at specific thermal gradients and feed pretreatment conditions, achieving preferential precipitation of solids products of different composition containing large quantities of Ca or Mg/K minerals from the real mine tailing wastewater.
