The efficient separation of Sr2+/Mg2+ through nanofiltration (NF) technology is a great challenge because Sr2+ and Mg2+ ions are congeners with the same valence and chemical properties. In this work, an NF membrane under an electric field (EF) was successfully employed to separate Mg2+ and Sr2+ ions for the first time. The effects of current densities, Mg2+/Sr2+ mass ratios, pH of the feed, and coexisting cations on separation performance were investigated. Dehydration of Sr2+ or Mg2+ ions under EF was proved by molecular dynamics simulation. The results showed that a high-efficient separation of Mg2+/Sr2+ was achieved: Mg2+ removal of above 99% and increase in Sr2+ permeation with increasing EF. A separation factor reached 928 under optimal conditions, far higher than that without EF. The efficient separation of Mg2+/Sr2+ ions was mainly due to rejection of most Mg2+ ions by NF membrane and in situ precipitation of partly permeated Mg2+ ions by OH− generated on the cathode under EF. Meanwhile, preferential dehydration of Sr2+ ions under EF due to lower hydration energy of Sr2+ compared with Mg2+ resulted in an increase of permeation of Sr2+ ions. This work provided a new idea for separation of congener ions with similar valence and chemical properties.

Functional Theory

Background: Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) have recently emerged as an interesting field of study, because they could be used for the realization of developed, integrated and compact nanostructures to be formulated. BNNTs with similar surface morphology, alternating B and N atoms completely substitute for C atoms in a graphitic-like sheet with nearly no alterations in atomic spacing, with uniformity in dispersion in the solution, and readily applicable in biomedical applications with no obvious toxicity. Also demonstrating a good cell interaction and cell targeting. Aim and Objective: With a purpose of increasing the field of BNNT for drug delivery, a theoretical investigation of the interaction of Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid antioxidants using (9, 0) zigzag BNNTs is shown using density functional theory. Methods: The geometries corresponding to Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid and BNNT with different lengths were individually optimized with the DMOL3 program at the LDA/ DNP (fine) level of theory. Results: In the presence of external electric field Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid could be absorbed considerably on BNNT with lengths 22 and 29 Å, as the adsorption energy values in the presence of external electric field are considerably increased. Conclusion: The external electric field is an appropriate technique for adsorbing and storing antioxidants on BNNTs. Moreover, it is believed that applying the external electric field may be a proper method for controlling release rate of drugs.
