Abstract
A variety of public health events seriously threaten human life and health, especially the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019 has caused a serious impact on human production and life. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the most effective ways to prevent infection and stop the spread of the virus. Medical protective fiber materials have become the first choice for PPE because of their excellent barrier properties and breathability. In this article, we systematically review the latest progress in preparation technologies, properties, and applications of medical protective fiber materials. We first summarize the technological characteristics of different fiber preparation methods and compare their advantages and disadvantages. Then the barrier properties, comfort, and mechanical properties of the medical protective fiber materials used in PPE are discussed. After that, the applications of medical protective fibers in PPE are introduced, and protective clothing and masks are discussed in detail. Finally, the current status, future development trend, and existing challenges of medical protective fiber materials are summarized.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, which limits the application of membrane bioreactors, has received considerable research attention in recent years. In this work, filtration modeling was performed in combination with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis to investigate the membrane fouling mechanism. Sodium alginate (SA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used to perform dead-end filtration on hydrophilic and hydrophobic poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes. The initial foulant deposition and layer formation on membranes as well as the interaction between the BSA and SA were comprehensively analyzed. Results indicated that during SA filtration, initial fouling on hydrophilic membranes were primarily attributed to the particle-membrane interactions, while the fouling on the hydrophobic membrane were dominantly caused by the interactions among SA particles. The interaction between BSA and SA led to more severe membrane fouling and hydrophobic membrane was more sensitive to it, especially in the initial filtration process. The SPR results helped clarify the in-situ deposition behavior of BSA and SA particles on the PVDF surface. Compared to SA, BSA adsorbed faster on the PVDF membrane, and specific interactions played an essential role in BSA adsorption, whereas the deposition of SA on PVDF could be easily removed by shear force. Interactions between BSA and SA could alleviate the bonding between BSA and the PVDF membrane.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of operational conditions on organic fouling occurring in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system used to treat wastewater. A mixed solution of sodium alginate (SA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a feed solution to simulate polysaccharides and proteins, respectively, assumed as the main organic foulants. The permeate flux was observed at two feed temperatures 35 and 50 °C, as well as three feed solution pH 4, 6, and 8. Higher permeate flux was observed for higher feed temperature, which allows higher vapor pressure. At higher pH, a smaller particle size was detected with lower permeate flux. A mathematical model based on mass balance was developed to simulate permeate flux with time by assuming (i) the cake formation controlled by attachment and detachment of foulant materials and (ii) the increase in specific cake resistance, the function of the cake porosity, as the main mechanisms controlling membrane fouling to investigate the fouling mechanism responsible of permeate flux decline. The model fitted well with the experimental data with R2 superior to 0.9. High specific cake resistance fostered by small particle size would be responsible for the low permeate flux observed at pH 8.

Abstract
The influence of proteins on the transport and deposition behaviors of microplastics (MPs) in quartz sand was examined at both low (5 mM) and high ionic strength (25 mM) in NaCl solutions at pH 6. Carboxylate- and amine-modified polystyrene latex microspheres with size of 200 nm were employed as negatively (CMPs) and positively surface charged MPs (AMPs), respectively, while bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine trypsin were utilized as representative negatively and positively charged proteins, respectively. The results showed that for two examined protein concentrations (both 1 and 10 mg/L TOC) under both ionic strength conditions, the presence of BSA increased the transport of both CMPs and AMPs, while the presence of trypsin decreased the transport of CMPs yet increased the transport of AMPs in porous media. The mechanisms driving to the changed transport of MPs induced by two types of proteins were found to be different. Particularly, steric interaction induced by BSA corona adsorbed onto CMPs surface as well as the repel effects resulted from BSA suspending in solutions were found to contribute to the enhanced CMPs transport with BSA copresent in suspensions. The increased sizes and the decreased electrostatic repulsion of CMPs due to the adsorption of trypsin onto CMPs, together with the addition of extra deposition sites due to the adsorption of trypsin onto quartz sand drove to the decreased CMPs transport with trypsin copresent in suspensions. The increased electrostatic repulsion due to the adsorption of BSA onto AMPs surfaces caused the enhanced AMPs transport with BSA in solutions. While, the decreased electrostatic attraction of AMPs due to the adsorption of trypsin onto AMPs, as well as the competition of deposition sites due to the adsorption of trypsin onto quartz sand contributed to the increased AMPs transport with trypsin copresent in suspensions. The results showed that the presence of different types of proteins would induce different transport behaviors of microplastics with different surface charge in porous media. Since proteins are widely present in aquatic systems, to more accurately predict the fate and transport of MPs in natural environments, the effects and mechanisms of proteins on the transport of MPs should be considered.

Abstract
Organic fouling in the forward osmosis process is complex and influenced by different parameters in the forward osmosis such as type of feed and draw solution, operating conditions, and type of membrane. In this article, we reviewed organic fouling in the forward osmosis by focusing on wastewater treatment applications. Model organic foulants used in the forward osmosis literature were highlighted, which were followed by the characteristics of organic foulants when real wastewater was used as feed solution. The various physical and chemical cleaning protocols for the organic fouled membrane are also discussed. The study also highlighted the effective pre-treatment strategies that are effective in reducing the impact of organic fouling on the forward osmosis (FO) membrane. The efficiency of cleaning methods for the removal of organic fouling in the FO process was investigated, including recommendations on future cleaning technologies such as Ultraviolet and Ultrasound. Generally, a combination of physical and chemical cleaning is the best for restoring the water flux in the FO process.
