Evaluating permeability of VOC and greenhouse gases in dense membranes: Insights from solubility parameters and basic molecular characteristics

In our Research Group of Membrane Separations, we investigate how different membrane materials can help remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, hexane, etc., from the air. These waste streams often come from fuels, paints, and industrial solvents and can negatively impact human health and the environment. In this study, w…

Influence of meteorological conditions and seasonality on PM1 and organic aerosol sources at a rural background site

Organic aerosols (OA) are a main component of PM2.5 (20–90%), which contains thousands of compounds. Thus, the formation processes and sources of OA remain poorly understood. In this study, the seasonal and diurnal variabilities of submicron PM chemical composition (both inorganic and organic aerosols) and OA sources were characterized by aerosol…

Size distribution of daughter bubbles or drops resulting from binary breakup due to random initial deformation conditions

Predicting the interfacial area, and hence the size distribution of fluid particles in multiphase systems is essential as this parameter is fundamental in the design of reactors and apparatuses used in separation and purification technologies. This article presents a simplified model for the evolution of the shapes of fluid particles (bubbles or dr…

Three Types of Condensation in Open Wedges

In a recent study published in Physical Review E, Dr. Jiří Janek and Prof. Alexandr Malijevský from the Research Group of Molecular and Mesoscopic Modelling, have unveiled remarkably rich condensation phenomena in confined geometries. The study, titled Three Types of Condensation in Open Wedges, explores how fluids behave in open wedge-shaped ge…

Chiral helical scaffolds: Unlocking their potential in biomolecular interactions and biomedical applications

Research Group of Advanced Materials and Organic Synthesis (GAMOS) has been actively engaged in the synthesis and study of chiral [n]helicenes, which exhibit a helical (spiral) geometry. While helicene chemistry has traditionally been associated with materials science, their unique chiroptical properties have attracted increasing interest in other …

Boundary Layer and Mixing Layer Height: Models vs. Ground-based Measurements Intercomparison

This study analyzes diurnal and seasonal variations in the Mixing Layer Height (MLH), an atmospheric variable essential for air quality assessments. The MLH was analyzed at a rural background Central European site Košetice for three years (2020–2022) by comparing ceilometer and radiosonde observations with four atmospheric models—ERA5, Reanaly…
