The resulting biochar exhibited a large specificsurface area (933.39 m^(2)/g), a rich porous structure (1.044 cm3/g), and abundant active sites.Consequently, the prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited higher efficiency in adsorbingtetracycline with a maximum adsorption capacity of 413.223 mg/g, which significantlyexceeded that of unmodified biochar andmost commercial and reported adsorbents.The correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and adsorbent characteristics revealedthat the formation of the –BCO_(2) group enhanced π–π electron donor–acceptor interactionsbetween boron-doped porous biochar and tetracycline. This mechanism mainlycontributed to the enhanced adsorption of tetracycline by boron-doped porous biochar. Additionally,the as-prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited broad applications in removingantibiotics (tetracycline), phenolics (bisphenol A), and dyes (methylene blue andrhodamine B). Moreover, the boron-doped porous biochar exhibited satisfactory stability,and its adsorption capacity can be nearly completely regenerated through simple heat treatment.This study provides new insights into the effectiveness of boron-doped carbonaceousmaterials in removing antibiotic contaminants.展开更多

文摘The method of preparing uniform dextran microspheres with a narrow diameter distribution was introduced and the adsorbability of these microspheres was evaluated.The microspheres were prepared in W/O microemulsion using 0.5% dextran solution as the aqueous phase and n-hexane as the oil phase.Characteristics of the prepared dextran microspheres were examined with laser light blocking technique,optical microscope and ultraviolet spectrometer.The results show that the prepared dextran microspheres have uniform morphology and narrow diameter distribution,nearly 92% of them having a diameter of 56.6 μm.In vitro evaluation of adsorbability,wet dextran microspheres have good adsorption of 98.32 mg/g of model drug methylene blue in 20.86 mg/L methylene blue solution at 25℃.The adsorption of dried dextran microspheres under the same condition is 132.15 mg/g,which is even higher.And the adsorbability of dextran microspheres has significant relationship with the concentration of methylene blue and temperature.The adsorbability is better at lower temperature and higher concentration of methylene blue.

文摘Prediction of production decline and evaluation of the adsorbed/free gas ratio are critical for determining the lifespan and production status of shale gas wells.Traditional production prediction methods have some shortcomings because of the low permeability and tightness of shale,complex gas flow behavior of multi-scale gas transport regions and multiple gas transport mechanism superpositions,and complex and variable production regimes of shale gas wells.Recent research has demonstrated the existence of a multi-stage isotope fractionation phenomenon during shale gas production,with the fractionation characteristics of each stage associated with the pore structure,gas in place(GIP),adsorption/desorption,and gas production process.This study presents a new approach for estimating shale gas well production and evaluating the adsorbed/free gas ratio throughout production using isotope fractionation techniques.A reservoir-scale carbon isotope fractionation(CIF)model applicable to the production process of shale gas wells was developed for the first time in this research.In contrast to the traditional model,this model improves production prediction accuracy by simultaneously fitting the gas production rate and δ^(13)C_(1) data and provides a new evaluation method of the adsorbed/free gas ratio during shale gas production.The results indicate that the diffusion and adsorption/desorption properties of rock,bottom-hole flowing pressure(BHP)of gas well,and multi-scale gas transport regions of the reservoir all affect isotope fractionation,with the diffusion and adsorption/desorption parameters of rock having the greatest effect on isotope fractionation being D∗/D,PL,VL,α,and others in that order.We effectively tested the universality of the four-stage isotope fractionation feature and revealed a unique isotope fractionation mechanism caused by the superimposed coupling of multi-scale gas transport regions during shale gas well production.Finally,we applied the established CIF model to a shale gas well in the Sichuan Basin,China,and calculated the estimated ultimate recovery(EUR)of the well to be 3.33×10^(8) m^(3);the adsorbed gas ratio during shale gas production was 1.65%,10.03%,and 23.44%in the first,fifth,and tenth years,respectively.The findings are significant for understanding the isotope fractionation mechanism during natural gas transport in complex systems and for formulating and optimizing unconventional natural gas development strategies.

文摘Currently,the solid adsorbents with porous structure have been widely applied in CO_(2)capture.However,the unmodified MgO-ZrO_(2)adsorbents appeared to be low adsorption capacity of CO_(2).The solid adsorbent materials were successfully synthesized by loading TEPA onto the pore MgO/ZrO_(2)carriers in the paper.The pore structure and surface characteristic of the samples were analyzed by using XRD,BET,FT-IR and SEM.The adsorbent materials exhibited microcrystalline state,and the crystallinity of all samples gradually decreased as the increase of TEPA content.The pore structure analysis indicated that the modification of MgO-ZrO_(2)adsorbents with TEPA led to the decrease of the specific surface areas,but the narrow micro-mesopore size distributions ranging from 1.8-12 nm in the adsorbents still were maintained.FT-IR spectrum results further verified the successful loading of TEPA.The adsorption capacity of the adsorbents for CO_(2)were tested by using an adsorption apparatus equipped with gas chromatography.The results indicated that when the TEPA loading reached 50%,the sample exhibited the maximum adsorption value for CO_(2),reaching 4.07 mmol/g under the operation condition of 75℃and atmospheric pressure.This result could be assigned to not only the base active sites but also the coexistence of both micropore and mesopore in the adsorbent.After three cycles tests for CO_(2)capture,the adsorption value of the sample for CO_(2)can also reached 95%of its original adsorption capacity,which verified the excellent cyclic operation stability.

文摘This paper demonstrates the strategic molecular design of functional polymer monoliths comprised of mesoporous fibers with stimuli-responsive Joule-heating properties for the rapid and efficient recovery of viscous fuel oil from water.The mesoporous fibers were composed of carefully selected monomers,which spontaneously entangled with each other to form a spongy monolith in a one-pot synthesis process.The subsequent addition of polypyrrole nanoparticles to the polymer produced superwettable intertwined fibers with strain-responsive conductivity,allowing the monolith to be used as a compressible,fibrous,and porous adsorbent with a high-flux separation capability and a tunable electrical heating effect.This adsorbent was demonstrated to successfully separate different types of low-viscosity oil from water in a continuous,highly efficient process.It also induced a rapid increase in the temperature during the recovery of marine fuel oil(MFO380),with a minimal compression of 3%under an external voltage.The proposed adsorbent can thus be used for the effective recovery of various fuel oils and improved further by incorporating other synergistic components for various water-treatment systems.
文摘Lead(Pb)is a toxic metal found in wastewater,posing significant health risks to both humans and the environment.This study aimed to develop a novel adsorbent for lead removal from aqueous solutions.This adsorbent,a coffee husk extract-capped magnetite with pumice silica nanocomposite(CHE-capped M/PU/Si-NC),was synthesized using a completely green approach.The novelty of this study lies in the green synthesis of silica nanoparticles(SiO_(2)-NPs)throughout the process.Coffee husk extract(CHE)served as both a stabilizing and capping agent for the SiO_(2)-NPs,which were synthesized from sodium silicate(Na_(2)SiO_(3))extracted from bagasse ash(BA).Subsequently,the CHE-capped silica was co-precipitated with phyto-fabricated magnetite and integrated into a pumice matrix to produce the final CHE-capped M/PU/Si-NC adsorbent.The CHE-capped M/PU/Si-NC was characterized using SEM,XRF,FTIR,BET,XRD,TGA,and zeta potential analysis.The surface area of the CHE-capped M/PU/Si-NC was determined to be 313 m^(2)·g^(-1),and TGA results indicated good thermal stability up to 690℃.The zeta potential was measured at-37.7 mV.XRD analysis of CHE-capped M/PU/Si-NC confirmed the formation of magnetite and revealed its crystal structure.The maximum adsorption performance of this material was observed to be 95%at an adsorbent dosage of 2 g·L^(-1) and an initial Pb^(2+)concentration of 100 g·L^(-1).The adsorption kinetics were best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.The Langmuir isotherm provided a good fit with a maximum adsorption capacity of 150 mg·g^(-1)(R^(2)=0.99).Regeneration studies demonstrated that the adsorbent maintained its high Pb^(2+) uptake capacity for up to five cycles.Overall,these findings suggest that this adsorbent is a promising candidate for the removal of Pb^(2+) from water and wastewater.

文摘Boron adsorbents with high adsorption capacities have long been a focus of research for a long time.This study used small molecular polyols with different hydroxyl groups as functional monomers and as end-capping agents,functional dendritic polyurethanes with nano structure were successfully prepared by one-pot method.The single molecule size and surface morphology were characterized by dynamic light scattering,transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy,and the molecular size in the dry state was 11 to 18 nm.The prepared materials were used as the boron adsorbents,and the effects of pH,time,boron solution concentration and temperature on the adsorption were studied.The results showed that the capacity of adsorbed boron could reach 110-130 mg·g^(-1).Adsorption was a homogeneous monolayer adsorption controlled by chemisorption,and adsorption thermodynamics showed that was a spontaneous endothermic process.Adsorption behavior was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm.This study also showed that it was difficult for ortho/meta-hydroxyl groups to chelate with H_(3)BO_(3) and other polyborates,and the chelates mainly had good chelating properties with B(OH)_(4)^(-),and the chelates formed had large steric hindrance.At the same time,increasing the number of hydroxyl groups of functional monomers was beneficial to increase the adsorption capacity of materials.In addition,the cyclic adsorption/desorption experiments showed that DPUs have good cyclic stability.At the same time,the adsorption results of the original salt lake brine showed that other metal ions in the brine had little effect on the adsorption of boron,and the adsorption capacity was as high as52.93 mg·g^(-1),and the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained by Adams-Bohart model to58.80 mg·g^(-1).The outstanding selectivity and adsorption capacity of these materials have broad potential application,and are expected to be used for the efficient adsorption and removal in boroncontaining water bodies.

文摘This study introduced a microwave-assisted pyrolysis method for the rapid and efficientpreparation of boron-doped porous biochar. The resulting biochar exhibited a large specificsurface area (933.39 m^(2)/g), a rich porous structure (1.044 cm3/g), and abundant active sites.Consequently, the prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited higher efficiency in adsorbingtetracycline with a maximum adsorption capacity of 413.223 mg/g, which significantlyexceeded that of unmodified biochar andmost commercial and reported adsorbents.The correlation analysis between the adsorption capacity and adsorbent characteristics revealedthat the formation of the –BCO_(2) group enhanced π–π electron donor–acceptor interactionsbetween boron-doped porous biochar and tetracycline. This mechanism mainlycontributed to the enhanced adsorption of tetracycline by boron-doped porous biochar. Additionally,the as-prepared boron-doped porous biochar exhibited broad applications in removingantibiotics (tetracycline), phenolics (bisphenol A), and dyes (methylene blue andrhodamine B). Moreover, the boron-doped porous biochar exhibited satisfactory stability,and its adsorption capacity can be nearly completely regenerated through simple heat treatment.This study provides new insights into the effectiveness of boron-doped carbonaceousmaterials in removing antibiotic contaminants.

文摘The manufacture and obsolescence of smartphones produce numerous waste plastic accessories(e.g.,waste smartphone protective film(WSPF)),possessing immense potential for recycling.However,available recycling technologies have limitations such as substrate damage and secondary pollutant generation.The present study aimed to develop a green disposal method that not only recycled polyethylene terephthalate(PET)from WSPF,but also reused the stripped polyacrylate(PAA)adhesive as an adsorbent to reduce solid waste generation.When the WSPF was treated in 1 mol/L NaOH solution at 90°C,the PAA hydrolyzed to two main by-products of 1-butanol and 2-ethylhexanol,weakening the binding strength between PAA and PET and then efficient separation of them.Further bench-scale test revealed that over 97.2%of detachment efficiency toward PAA was achieved during continuous treatment of 17 batches of WSPF(200 g for each)without supplement of NaOH and generation of wastewater.Meanwhile,the economic evaluation indicated that the recycling method would generate a net profit margin of 647%for the second year without considering the incurrence of new cost and input.Additionally,the pyrolysis of waste PAA enabled its conversion into potential adsorbent,which showed 2 to 4 times enhanced adsorption capacity toward styrene and ethyl acetate after modification with NaOH solution.This study provides a green method for recycling waste plastics and inspires a referable solution for solid waste treatment in the smartphone industry.

文摘Cu(I)based CO adsorbents are prone to oxidation and deactivation owing to the sensitivity of Cu^(+) ions to oxygen and moisture in the humid air.In this study,in order to improve its antioxidant performance,hydrophobic Cu(I)based adsorbents were fabricated using polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)for the hydrophobic modification,effectively avoiding the contact of CuCl active species with moisture,thereby inhibiting the oxidation of the Cu(I)based adsorbents.The successful introduction of PTFE into the activated carbon(AC)carrier significantly improves the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent.The optimal adsorbent CuCl(6)@AC-PTFE(0.10%)with the CuCl loading of 6 mmol·g^(-1)and the PTFE mass concentration of 0.10%exhibits an excellent CO adsorption capacity of 3.61 mmol·g^(-1)(303 K,500 kPa)as well as high CO/CO_(2)and CO/N_(2)adsorption selectivities of 29 and 203(303 K,100 kPa).Particularly,compared with the unmodified adsorbents,the antioxidant performance of modified adsorbent CuCl(6)@AC-PTFE(0.10%)is significantly improved,holding 86%of CO adsorption performance of fresh one after 24 h of exposure to humid air with a relative humidity of 70%,making the fabricated composite a promising adsorbent for CO separation.

文摘The novel magnetic sepiolite/Fe_(3)O_(4)/zero-valent iron(nZVI)nanocomposite(nZVI@SepH-Mag)was prepared and used to achieve the removal of Cr(VI)in this work.The nZVI@SepH-Mag composites were characterized by XRD,FTIR,BET,SEM and TEM.The characterization results indicated that the structure of the composite consisted of small nanoscale nZVI and magnetite(Mag)particles uniformly anchoring on the surface of acid-activated sepiolite(SepH).Batch experiments were used to analyze the effects of main factors on Cr(VI)removal.A 100%removal efficiency in 60 min and enhanced reaction ratio were reached by the composite comparing other existing materials.The kinetic of the adsorption and possible Cr(VI)removal mechanism of the hybrids were also evaluated and proposed.Based on the removal products identified by Raman,XRD and XPS,a reduction mechanism was proposed.The results indicated that the SepH and Mag can inhibit the agglomeration and enhance the dispersibility of nZVI,and Mag and nZVI displayed good synergetic effects.

文摘Based on the test and experimental data from exploration well cores of the Upper Paleozoic in the central-eastern Ordos Basin,combined with structural,burial depth and fluid geochemistry analyses,this study reveals the fluid characteristics,gas accumulation control factors and accumulation modes in the Upper Paleozoic coal reservoirs.The study indicates findings in two aspects.First,the 1500-1800 m interval represents the critical transition zone between open fluid system in shallow-medium depths and closed fluid system in deep depths.The reservoirs above 1500 m reflect intense water invasion,with discrete pressure gradient distribution,and the presence of methane mixed with varying degrees of secondary biogenic gas,and they generally exhibit high water saturation and adsorbed gas undersaturation.The reservoirs deeper than 1800 m,with extremely low permeability,are self-sealed,and contains closed fluid systems formed jointly by the hydrodynamic lateral blocking and tight caprock confinement.Within these systems,surface runoff infiltration is weak,the degree of secondary fluid transformation is minimal,and the pressure gradient is relatively uniform.The adsorbed gas saturation exceeds 100%in most seams,and the free gas content primarily ranges from 1 m^(3)/t to 8 m^(3)/t(greater than 10 m^(3)/t in some seams).Second,the gas accumulation in deep coals is primarily controlled by coal quality,reservoir-caprock assemblage,and structural position governed storage,wettability and sealing properties,under the constraints of the underground temperature and pressure conditions.High-rank,low-ash yield coals with limestone and mudstone caprocks show superior gas accumulation potential.Positive structural highs and wide and gentle negative structural lows are favorable sites for gas enrichment,while slope belts of fold limbs exhibit relatively lower gas content.This research enhances understanding of gas accumulation mechanisms in coal reservoirs and provides effective parameter reference for precise zone evaluation and innovation of adaptive stimulation technologies for deep resources.

文摘Mercury(Hg)pollution has been a global concern in recent decades,posing a significant threat to entire ecosystems and human health due to its cumulative toxicity,persistence,and transport in the atmosphere.The intense interaction between mercury and selenium has opened up a new field for studying mercury removal from industrial flue gas pollutants.Besides the advantages of good Hg^(0) capture performance and lowsecondary pollution of the mineral selenium compounds,the most noteworthy is the relatively low regeneration temperature,allowing adsorbent regeneration with low energy consumption,thus reducing the utilization cost and enabling recovery of mercury resources.This paper reviews the recent progress of mineral selenium compounds in flue gas mercury removal,introduces in detail the different types ofmineral selenium compounds studied in the field ofmercury removal,reviews the adsorption performance of various mineral selenium compounds adsorbents on mercury and the influence of flue gas components,such as reaction temperature,air velocity,and other factors,and summarizes the adsorption mechanism of different fugitive forms of selenium species.Based on the current research progress,future studies should focus on the economic performance and the performance of different carriers and sizes of adsorbents for the removal of Hg^(0) and the correlation between the gas-particle flow characteristics and gas phase mass transfer with the performance of Hg^(0) removal in practical industrial applications.In addition,it remains a challenge to distinguish the oxidation and adsorption of Hg^(0) quantitatively.

文摘The indiscriminate use and disposal of ciprofloxacin(CIP)have led to its detection in water globally,which pose a huge risk to public health and water environment.Herein,(Zn-Al)LDHs modified 3D reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite((Zn-Al)LDHs/3D-rGO)was synthesized through a feasible onepot hydrothermal method for CIP removal.The highly distributed(Zn-Al)LDHs flakes on the surface of 3D-rGO endow the resulted(Zn-Al)LDHs/3D-rGO with an excellent adsorption performance for CIP.The adsorption results showed that the adsorption process could be well interpreted by Temkin isothermal model and the pseudo second-order kinetics model.The maximal adsorption capacity of 20.01 mg·g^(-1)for CIP could be achieved under the optimal conditions optimized by response surface methodology(RSM).The inhibitory effect of co-existing ions on CIP adsorption were also discussed.The probable adsorption mechanism might be ascribed toπ-πinteractions,hydrogen bonding,electrostatic,and surface complexation.Regeneration tests showed that the obtained 3D porous material also possessed pronounced recyclability.The obtained(Zn-Al)LDHs/3D-rGO holds a great potential for removal of CIP from actual wastewater.
文摘Geological samples often contain significant amounts of iron,which,although not typically the target element,can substantially interfere with the analysis of other elements of interest.To mitigate these interferences,amidoximebased radiation grafted adsorbents have been identified as effective for iron removal.In this study,an amidoximefunctionalized,radiation-grafted adsorbent synthesized from polypropylene waste(PPw-g-AO-10)was employed to remove iron from leached geological samples.The adsorption process was systematically optimized by investigating the effects of pH,contact time,adsorbent dosage,and initial ferric ion concentration.Under optimal conditions-pH1.4,a contact time of 90 min,and an initial ferric ion concentration of 4500 mg/L-the adsorbent exhibited a maximum iron adsorption capacity of 269.02 mg/g.After optimizing the critical adsorption parameters,the adsorbent was applied to the leached geological samples,achieving a 91%removal of the iron content.The adsorbent was regenerated through two consecutive cycles using 0.2 N HNO_(3),achieving a regeneration efficiency of 65%.These findings confirm the efficacy of the synthesized PPw-g-AO-10 as a cost-effective and eco-friendly adsorbent for successfully removing iron from leached geological matrices while maintaining a reasonable degree of reusability.

文摘Persistently high arsenic levels in drinkingwater threaten underprivileged areas worldwide.Although nanomaterials exhibit exceptional arsenic removal properties,their implementation presents challenges.We converted N-methylimidazole-modified polyvinyl chloride into a granular anion exchange resin(PNAXRs)using an environmentally friendly and gentle synthesis method.Additionally,a unified approach for embedding nanomaterials within these resins was proposed,yielding a TiO_(2) composite resin(TiO_(2)@PNAXRs).Structural characterization confirmed the successful grafting of imidazolium cations with anion-exchange properties onto polyvinyl chloride side chains.BET analysis indicates a high specific surface area of 70.31 m^(2)/g for the PNAXRs.TGA curves demonstrate the successful encapsulation of approximately 24.9%TiO_(2) within the composite resin.The SEM-EDS results show a uniform distribution of TiO_(2) in the PNAXRs,which facilitates the effective utilization of TiO_(2).Adsorption experiments in conjunction with XPS analysis provided insights into the dual role of inner-sphere complexation and ion exchange in the adsorption mechanism of As(V)by TiO_(2)@PNAXRs.In dynamic adsorption tests utilizing high-As(V)groundwater from the Datong Basin as the influent,TiO_(2)@PNAXRs demonstrated the ability to produce effluents that meet the World Health Organization’s recommended limit for arsenic in drinking water,with a capacity of 1780 bed volumes.These findings support the use of PNAXRs as ideal matrices for TiO_(2) and their practical application in As(V)removal processes.

文摘Maintaining high metal dispersion of supported metal catalysts to achieve superior reactivity under harsh conditions poses one of the main challenges for their practical applications.Constructing and regulating the strong metal-support interactions(SMSI)by diverse methodologies has emerged as one of the promising approaches to fabricating robust supported metal catalysts.In this study,we report an L-ascorbic acid(AA)-inducing strategy to generate SMSI on a titania-supported gold(Au)catalyst after high-temperature treatment in an inert atmosphere(600℃,N_(2)).The AA-induced SMSI can efficiently stabilize Au nanoparticles(NPs)and preserve their catalytic performance.The detailed study reveals that the key to realizing this SMSI is the generation of oxygen vacancies within the TiO_(2) support induced by the adsorbed AA,which drives the formation of the Ti Oxpermeable layer onto the Au NPs.The strategy could be extended to TiO_(2)-supported Au catalysts with different crystal phases and platinum group metals,such as Pt,Pd,and Rh.This work offers a promising novel route to design stable and efficient supported noble metal catalysts by constructing SMSI using simple reducing organic adsorbent.

文摘Platinum group alloys have an excellent electronic structure for oxidation of alcohols,but the active sites are more susceptible to deactivation by CO adsorbates(CO_(ads)).The precise integration of single-atom and alloy structures is highly attractive for energy conversion but still a challenge.Here,we report an ionexchange coupled in situ reduction strategy to fabricate hollow PtPdTe alloy nanoreactors loaded with atomically dispersed Cu sites(Cu_(SA)/h-PtPdTe NRs).The planted oxyphilic Cu single sites and resulted compressive strains are conductive to modulating the electronic structure of the active sites,which changes the rate-determining step of the reaction while inhibiting the formation of CO_(ads)and modulating the adsorption of intermediates,resulting in the improved activity and stability.Specifically,the obtained Cu_(SA)/h-PtPdTe NRs exhibit an excellent oxidation performance of multiple alcohols,especially for methanol and ethanol,with 8.0 and 10.3 times of the mass activity higher than Pt/C,and the activity could be recovered by refreshing the electrolyte and could be sustained for 72,000 and 36,000 s,respectively.Meanwhile,Cu_(SA)/h-PtPdTe NRs show superior oxidation performance and durability to ethylene glycol and glycerol.This work pioneers the realization of precise modulation of catalytic sites using single atoms and provides an encouraging pathway for the design of efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the oxidation of multiple alcohols,which could broaden the range of options and sources of fuel cells.

文摘Although supported solid amine adsorbents have attracted great attention for CO_(2) capture,critical chemical deactivation problems including oxidative degradation and urea formation have severely restricted their practical applications for flue gas CO_(2) capture.In this work,we reveal that the nature of surface hydroxyl groups(metal hydroxyl Al–OH and nonmetal hydroxyl Si–OH)plays a key role in the deactivation mechanisms.The polyethyleneimine(PEI)supported on Al–OH-containing substrates suffers from severe oxidative degradation during the CO_(2) capture step due to the breakage of amine-support hydrogen bonding networks,but exhibits an excellent anti-urea formation feature by preventing dehydration of carbamate products under a pure CO_(2) regeneration atmosphere.In contrast,PEI supported on Si–OHcontaining substrates exhibits excellent anti-oxidative stability under simulated flue gas conditions by forming a robust hydrogen bonding protective network with Si–OH,but suffers from obvious urea formation during the pure CO_(2) regeneration step.We also reveal that the urea formation problem for PEI-SBA-15 can be avoided by the incorporation of an OH-containing PEG additive.Based on the intrinsic understanding of degradation mechanisms,we successfully synthesized an adsorbent 40PEI-20PEG-SBA-15 that demonstrates outstanding stability and retention of a high CO_(2) capacity of 2.45 mmol g^(−1) over 1000 adsorption–desorption cycles,together with negligible capacity loss during aging in simulated flue gas(10%CO_(2)+5%O_(2)+3%H_(2)O)for one month at 60–70℃.We believe this work makes great contribution to the advancement in the field of ultra-stable solid amine-based CO_(2) capture materials.

文摘Desulfurization technology is rather difficult and urgently needed for carbon dioxide(CO_(2))utilization in industry.A new Cu(I)-based adsorbent was synthesized and examined for the capacity of removing carbonyl sulfide(COS)from a CO_(2)stream in an effort to solve the competitive adsorption between CO_(2)and COS and to seek opportunity to advance adsorption capacity.A wide range of character-ization techniques were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent featuringπ-complexation and their correlations with the adsorption performance.Meanwhile,the first principal calculation software CP2K was used to develop an understanding of the adsorption mechanism,which can offer useful guidance for the adsorbent regeneration.The synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent,prepared by using copper citrate and citric acid on the ZSM-5(SiO_(2)/Al_(2)O_(3)=25)carrier,outperformed other adsorbents with varying formulations and carriers in adsorption capacities.Through optimization of the preparation and adsorption conditions for various adsorbents,the breakthrough adsorption capacity(Qb)for COS was further enhanced from 2.19 mg/g to 15.36 mg/g.The formed stableπ-complex bonds between COS and Cu(I),as confirmed by density func-tional theory calculations,were verified by the significant improvement in the adsorption capacity after regeneration at 600°C.The above advantages render the novel synthesized Cu(I)adsorbent a promising candidate featuring cost-effectiveness,high efficacy and good regenerability for desulfurization from a CO_(2)stream.
文摘Extracorporeal therapies have a definite role in patients with acute liver failure,acute on-chronic liver failure,and progressive chronic liver disease.They act as a bridge-to-transplant in these patients.With the increasing success of liver transplantation,the immediate postoperative complication spectrum continues to expand.Extracorporeal therapies can play an important role in managing these complications.However,the literature on extracorporeal therapies in the postliver transplant period is limited.This review article discussed various extracorporeal therapies that are still evolving or marred by limited evidence but can improve patient outcomes.These extracorporeal therapies can be divided into two subgroups:(1)Therapies for infective complications.Endotoxin and cytokine adsorption columns;and(2)Therapies for noninfective complications like small for size syndrome,primary allograft nonfunction,early allograft dysfunction,hyperacute rejection,hepatopulmonary syndrome,etc.(plasma exchange,double plasma molecular adsorption,molecular adsorbent recirculation system,and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,among others).
