Abstract: An inorganic composite pigment capable of elevating ultraviolet (UV) protection, and a cosmetic composition including the same, in which the inorganic composite pigment includes a core part including a white pigment; and a surface coating material, which is coated on the surface of an external part of the core part, including an inorganic solution that includes the white pigment. Additionally, the white pigment is at least one kind selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, cerium oxide, silica, talc, mica, and borosilicate. The inorganic composite pigment according to the present disclosure capable of elevating a UV protection undergoes surface modification of the pigment through a process of re-coating a white pigment on a white pigment with a high refractive index, thereby elevating the UV protection.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for recovery of magnetic nanoparticles, which recovers and reuses magnetic nanoparticles in a forward osmosis membrane filtration process using magnetic nanoparticles as a draw solute so as to maintain a consistent concentration of the draw solution and separate and discharge high-purity fresh water, and apparatus and method for forward osmosis membrane filtration using the same.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for filtration using osmosis, which induce osmotic pressure and allow separation of pure fluid by using the reduced osmotic pressure as an energy source, and thus carry out filtration without any additional energy supply.

Abstract: Disclosed are a forward osmosis membrane capable of ensuring resistance to microorganisms, improving water flux by forward osmosis, and minimizing reverse solute flux by maximizing tortuosity of the membrane, and a method for fabricating the same. The disclosed method for fabricating a forward osmosis membrane includes: preparing a filler material including a non-cellulose polymer, an organic solvent for dissolving the non-cellulose polymer, and a pore-forming agent for inducing pore formation in the non-cellulose polymer; coating the filler material on an osmosis membrane backing; and immersing the osmosis membrane backing coated with the filler material in water, so that the organic solvent and the pore-forming agent are evaporated, and pores are formed in the non-cellulose polymer as the non-cellulose polymer is solidified.
