文摘Lignin has been proved to be a promising precursor for producing carbon foam.The thermal and chemistry properties of lignin during its thermal conversion make it quite unique comparing with other precursors,and the conversion parameters can clearly affect the properties of the derived products.Therefore,this study systematically investigated the effects of key carbonization parameters on the properties of the resulting carbon foam materials.The findings demonstrate that the performance of the self-shaping lignin-derived carbon foam is simultaneously influenced by the factors that carbonization temperature,heating rate,and carbonization duration.Specifically,the carbonization temperature and carbonization duration have a significant impact on the mechanical performance,where higher temperatures and long carbonization time improve compressive strength and specific strength.Moreover,the data revealed that elevated temperatures,rapid heating rates,and shortened carbonization periods collectively promoted the development of higher porosities and larger pore diameters within the carbon foam structure.Conversely,lower carbonization temperatures,slower heating rates,and extended carbonization durations facilitated the formation of microporous in the carbon foam.This study provides a scientific foundation for optimizing the production of lignin-derived carbon foam with tailored properties and performance characteristics.

文摘The calcium-containing rare earth solution is generated during the recovery processes of NdFeB waste,which is treated as wastewater by enterprises.In this paper,the carbon dioxide carbonization method was applied to the separation of rare earths and calcium in the solution,as well as the preparation of rare earth oxides with a large specific surface.It is shown that the process of CO_(2)carbonization of solution includes reactions such as the dissolution,diffusion and ionization of CO_(2),the carbonate precipitation of rare earth ions,and the neutralization of hydrogen ions.At a pH of 4.5,the carbonization precipitation rate is effectively controlled,enabling homogeneous precipitation and ensuring both high precipitation yield and rare earth oxides purity.In this way,the crystallization of carbonization products is a process dominated by the oriented attachment theory and coexisting with the Ostwald ripening theory,resulting in abundant pores formed by multiple layers of stacking in the products.With the optimal carbonization conditions,the rare earth precipitation yield solution reaches 99.32%.The obtained carbonization products are crystalline(LaCe)(CO_(3))_(3)·8H_(2)O,and the purity of the rare earth oxides is as high as 99.22 wt%.The specific surface area of the rare earth oxides reaches 94.7 m^(2)/g,and its adsorption efficiency for tetracycline hydrochloride in solution can reach 92.6%in a short time.The rare earth oxides are expected to be used as an adsorption material for wastewater treatment and other adsorption environments.

文摘To address the issues of unclear carbon responsibility attribution,insufficient renewable energy absorption,and simplistic carbon trading mechanisms in integrated energy systems,this paper proposes an electricheat-hydrogen integrated energy system(EHH-IES)optimal scheduling model considering carbon emission stream(CES)and wind-solar accommodation.First,the CES theory is introduced to quantify the carbon emission intensity of each energy conversion device and transmission branch by defining carbon emission rate,branch carbon intensity,and node carbon potential,realizing accurate tracking of carbon flow in the process of multi-energy coupling.Second,a stepped carbon pricing mechanism is established to dynamically adjust carbon trading costs based on the deviation between actual carbon emissions and initial quotas,strengthening the emission reduction incentive.Finally,a lowcarbon economic dispatch model is constructed with the objectives of minimizing operation cost,carbon trading cost,wind-solar curtailment penalty cost,and energy loss.Simulation results show that compared with the traditional economic dispatch scheme 3,the proposed schemel reduces carbon emissions by 53.97%and wind-solar curtailment by 68.89%with a 16.10%increase in total cost.This verifies that the model can effectively improve clean energy utilization and reduce carbon emissions,achieving low-carbon economic operation of EHH-IES,with CES theory ensuring precise carbon flow tracking across multi-energy links.

文摘Ultrafast reaction kinetics is essential for rapid detection,synthesis,and process monitoring,but the intrinsic energy barrier as a basic material property is challenging to tailor.With the involvement of nanointerfacial chemistry,we propose a carbonization-based strategy for achieving ultrafast chemical reaction.In a case study,ultrafast Griess reaction within 1 min through the carbonization of N-(1-naphthalene)ethylenediamine(NETH)was realized.The carbonization-mediated ultrafast reaction is attributed to the synergic action of reduced electrostatic repulsion,enriched reactant concentration,and boosted NETH nucleophilicity.The enhanced reaction kinetics in o-phenylenediamine-Cu^(2)+and ophenylenediamine-ascorbic acid systems validate the universality of carbonization-engineered ultrafast chemical reaction strategy.The finding of this work offers a novel and simple tactic for the fabrication of multifunctional nanoparticles as ultrafast and effective nanoreactants and/or reporters in analytical,biological,and material aspects.

文摘In this context,an enzyme-induced magnesia carbonization(EIMC)method was proposed for practical healing of rock weathering cracks in term of bio-cementing sandstone grains.For this,a series of experiments were conducted on EIMC mortar samples,and the physicomechanical properties were obtained.The effects of urea pre-hydrolysis time,mass ratio of liquid solution to magnesia,and urea concentration were analyzed.Experimental results indicated that the urea pre-hydrolysis based EIMC method had a better cementation ability of sandstone grain and greater crack surface bonding performance of sandstone than the existing microbial-induced magnesia carbonization(MIMC)method.The optimal bio-cementation conditions were of pre-hydrolysis time of 24 h,mass ratio of liquid solution to magnesia of 1.75,and urea concentration of 1 mol/L.Under these conditions,the peak tensile stress of EIMC mortar samples reached up to 948.45 kPa,and interfacial peak tensile stress of EIMC-sandstone samples reached 608.57 kPa.These values were 118.6%(799.97 kPa)and 123.2%(493.19 kPa)of those of samples bio-cemented by the MIMC method,respectively.The improved bio-cementation performance can be attributed to the pre-hydrolysis of urea,ensuring an adequate supply of CO_(3)^(2-) ions and promoting the magnesia hydration and the brucite carbonization.The increased production of hydrated magnesium carbonates,coupled with formation of the amorphous brucite facilitated by biomolecules,established a denser structure,enhancing the physicomechanical properties.Microcrack development near the interfacial zone of mortar and sandstone was an important factor in the reduced biocementation performance of the MIMC method.The EIMC method is a practical bio-healing method for rock weathering cracks due to the availability of urease and its good cementation properties.

文摘Against the backdrop of China’s“dual-carbon”target,clean energy generation currently accounts for about 3.8 trillion kilowatt-hours,or 39.7 percent of total power generation,establishing a reasonable market trading mechanism while enhancing the low-carbon economic benefits of the integrated energy system(IES)and optimizing the interests of various entities within the distribution system has become a significant challenge.Consequently,this paper proposes an optimization strategy for a low-carbon economy within a multi-agent IES that considers carbon capture systems(CCS)and power-to-gas(P2G).In this framework,the integrated energy system operator(IESO)acts as the primary leader,while energy suppliers(ES),energy storage operators(ESO),and load aggregators(LA)follow.At the level of low-carbon technology,a coupling model of P2G and CCS is developed,leading to the establishment of an IES that incorporates energy conversion and storage equipment.Economically,effective control of system carbon emissions in market trading is progressively established.Lastly,the trading decision model of the system is integrated within a master-slave game framework,utilizing an improved differential evolution algorithm in conjunction with the distributed equilibrium method of quadratic programming for solution.The calculation example demonstrates that the strategy safeguards the benefits for both parties in the game and achieves energy savings and carbon reduction for the system.

文摘Understanding the elevational patterns of soil microbial carbon(C)metabolic potentials is instrumental for predicting changes in soil organic C(SOC)stocks in the face of climate change.However,such patterns remain uncertain in arid mountain ecosystems,where climosequences are quite different from other ecosystems.To address this gap,this study investigated the distribution determinants of microbial communities,C cycling-related genes,and SOC fractions along an elevational gradient(1707–3548 m),with a mean annual precipitation(MAP)range of 38 to 344 mm,on the north slope of the central part of the Kunlun Mountains,China using a metagenomic approach.The results showed that elevation significantly influenced the α-diversity(Shannon index)and composition of microbial communities as well as the C cycling-related genes.The α-diversities of microbial taxa and C cycling-related genes linearly increased with the increase in MAP along the elevational gradient.The elevational patterns of the genes encoding glycoside hydrolases and glycosyl transferases(GTs)were mainly driven by soil electrical conductivity(EC),mean annual temperature(MAT),MAP,and plant diversity.Furthermore,mineral-associated organic C(MAOC),particulate organic C(POC),and their sum generally increased with elevation.However,the MAOC/POC ratio followed a unimodal pattern,suggesting greater stability of the SOC pool in the mid-elevation regions.This unimodal pattern was likely influenced by the abundances of Actinobacteria and the genes encoding GTs and carbohydrate esterases and the threshold effects of soil EC and MAT.In summary,our findings indicate that the distribution patterns of microbial communities and C cycling-related genes along the elevational gradient in an arid ecosystem are distinct from those in the regions with higher MAP,facilitating the prediction of climate change effects on SOC metabolism under more arid conditions.Soil salinity,plant diversity,precipitation,and temperature are the main regulatory factors of microbial C metabolism processes,and they potentially play a central role in mediating SOC pool stability.

文摘The recovery of rare earths from industrial rare earth leaching solution is typically achieved through the ammonium carbonate precipitation method,which presents challenges in terms of prolonged production cycle and ammonia nitrogen pollution.The present study explored the synthesis of crystalline yttrium carbonate in a sodium carbonate system,employing a conventional mother liquor derived from yttrium chloride.The growth of yttrium carbonate was explored through the lens of density functional theory(DFT)calculations,unveiling a novel perspective on its formation mechanism.The synthesized yttrium carbonate demonstrates enhanced crystallinity,with a D50value of 19.75μm achieved under reaction conditions comprising a temperature of 60℃,stirring rate of 200 r/min,feeding rate of 4 mL/min,and aging time of 30 h.The molar ratio for precipitation is set at 1.6:1.The morphology of yttrium carbonate undergoes a transition from needle-like structures to sheet-like formations,ultimately culminating in the formation of spherical aggregates.The variation in surface energy among distinct crystal planes and CO_(3)^(2-)configurations within crystal cells accounts for this phenomenon.The DFT calculations unveil a progression of growth and trans formation in yttrium carbonate,commencing from a one-dimensional configuration and culminating in a multidimensional morphology.
