Researchers from Indian Institute for Technology Report New Studies and Findings in the Area of Obesity, Fitness and Wellness (ex Situ and in Situ Organic Fouling Monitoring In Laser-induced Graphene-based Electroconductive...).

A recent study conducted by researchers from the Indian Institute for Technology in Mumbai, India, explores the use of laser-induced graphene (LIG) electroconductive membranes (ECMs) for monitoring fouling in ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. The study investigates the effect of fouling on electrical responses in ex situ and in situ modes using various techniques. The results show that LIG-based ECMs can serve as both a membrane and a fouling monitoring tool, providing early detection of fouling and concentration increases. This research has implications for optimizing fouling mitigation strategies in desalination and wastewater treatment. [Extracted from the article]
