Unsafe water reuse in the informal irrigation sector dominates in the Global South and requires more attention to protect food safety and public health. Promoting formal wastewater use in conjunction with (usually constrained) investment in treatment capacities is not sufficient in LMIC. New approaches and indicators are needed across the formal and informal reuse sectors to increase food safety and

Current wastewater management practices underutilize wastewater as a valuable source of water, energy, and essential plant nutrients. A new paradigm shift is needed, one that integrates the water-energy-food nexus into wastewater management. Decentralized wastewater management has the power to redefine not only the urban water cycle but also reshape society towards a more economic and environmentally

The development of effective solid adsorbents is necessary to remove organic pollutants from wastewater in response to the global water crisis. The present study investigates the adsorption behavior of dye pollutants on a 1, 3, 6, 8-tetrakis (4formylphenyl) pyrene (TFPPy) for the self-assembly of an innovative three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Molecular dynamics (MD) and the

Ceramic membranes offer significant potential for addressing challenging and harsh wastewater streams such as produced water (PW) and surfactant-stabilized oil/water (O/W) emulsions. This study focuses on developing a stable and a uniformly structured active layer solely composed of MIL-125-NH2 MOF on a ceramic Alumina support. A stable covalent bonding approach was employed using interfacial polymerization

Considering growing efforts to understand and improve the solute-specific selectivity of nanofiltration (NF) membranes, we explored the ion-specific effects that govern the charge and performance of a loose polyamide NF membrane that is commonly used for solute-solute separations. Specifically, we systematically evaluated the zeta potential of the membrane under different conditions of pH, salinity
