The mass loss, dynamic modulus of elasticity（Erd）, and S and Ca element contents of concrete specimens were measured. Scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, mercury intrusion porosimetry（MIP）, and X-ray diffractometry（XRD） were used to investigate the changing of microstructure of interior concrete. The results indicated that PGA was capable of reducing the mass loss and improving the sulfate attack resistance of concrete. X-ray fluorescence（XRF） analysis revealed that PGA delayed the transport process of sulfate ions and Ca ions. In addition, MIP analysis disclosed that the micropores of concrete with PGA increased in the fraction of 20-100 nm and decreased in the residues of 200 nm. Compared with the blank sample, concrete with PGA had more slender and well-organized hydration products, and no changes in hydration products ratio or type were observed.展开更多

文摘Biomass is a resourcewhose organic carbon is formed from atmospheric carbon dioxide.It has numerous characteristics such as low carbon emissions,renewability,and environmental friendliness.The efficient utilization of biomass plays a significant role in promoting the development of clean energy,alleviating environmental pressures,and achieving carbon neutrality goals.Among the numerous processing technologies of biomass,hydrothermal carbonization(HTC)is a promising thermochemical process that can decompose and convert biomass into hydrochar under relatively mild conditions of approximately 180℃–300℃,thereby enabling its efficient resource utilization.In addition,HTC can directly process feedstocks with high moisture content without the need for high-temperature drying,resulting in lower energy consumption.Based on a systematic analysis of the critical articles mainly published in 2011-2025 related to biomass,HTC,and hydrochar applications,in this review,the category of biomass was first classified and the chemical compositions were summarized.Then,the main chemical reaction pathways involved in biomass decomposition and transformation during the HTC process were introduced.Meanwhile,the roles of key process parameters,including reaction temperature,residence time,pH,feedstock type,pressure,mass ratio of biomass to water,and the use of catalysts on HTC,were carefully discussed.Finally,the applications of hydrochar in energy utilization,environmental remediation,soil improvement,adsorbent,microbial fermentation,and phosphorus recovery fields were highlighted.The future directions of the HTC process were also provided,which would respond to climate change by promoting the development of the sustainable carbon materials field.

文摘Optically pure chiral chemicals are important building blocks with widespread applications across mul-tiple scientific and industrial do-mains such as in pharmaceuticals,agrochemicals,and food,especially acting as precursors to synthesize biodegradable polymers.As an al-ternative to fossil resources,renew-able lignocellulosic biomass has been used to access chiral chemicals,due to the versatile inherent stere-ostructures and multiple functional groups,such as hydroxyl,carbonyl,and phenyl ether groups.Typically,as the two main units of(hemi)cel-lulose components in lignocellulosic biomass,D-xylose and D-glucose bear multiple chiral centers(e.g.,2R-3S-4R for D-xylose and 2R-3S-4R-5R for D-glucose).Lignin bearsβ-O-4 linkages,exhibiting(R,S/S,R)or(R,R/S,S)stereocenters at the side-chainαandβcarbon atoms.The valorization of biomass into optical-ly pure chiral chemicals is vital for developing a more sustainable future.This review discuss-es the production of typical chiral chemicals derived from biomass through chemocatalysis,including lactones(e.g.,R/S-valerolactone),carboxylic acids(e.g.,D/L-glyceric acid,D/L-lactic acid),polyols(e.g.,tetrose),furans,oligosaccharides,and others.Two strategies are generally employed.One approach involves first producing achiral platform chemicals from biomass,followed by the introduction of asymmetric catalysts to reconstruct stereocenters.The second relates to selectively preserving one or more inherent stereocenters in the natural biomass structure during complex cascade reactions in which biomass feedstock acts as a“chi-ral pool",thus eliminating the establishment of stereocenter.The feedstock,methods em-ployed,and enantioselectivity and applications of the target chiral chemicals are discussed.Despite these advances,the synthesis of optically pure chemicals from biomass is still in its in-fancy.The coming decade presents both extraordinary challenges and opportunities in biomass-derived chiral chemistry.Future research should be focused on:(1)integrating well-established asymmetric catalysis techniques and methods with biomass’s inherent chiral pools,presenting an unprecedented opportunity to expand the chemical space of sustainable chiral compounds;(2)mastering polyfunctional complexity of chiral chemicals through holis-tic utilization of biomass’multichiral centers;(3)unlocking lignin’s stereochemical treasury that represents the next frontier in biomass valorization.

文摘Many adsorbents have been developed for uranium recovery to ensure global energy and environmental security.However,most reported adsorbents involve complex preparation process and rely heavily on petrochemical feedstocks,which undoubtedly increases carbon emissions from production in the nuclear industry.Here,a biomass aerogel(CS-BT)is prepared by the facile cross-linking of chitosan and bayberry tannins with glutaraldehyde.U(Ⅵ)can be adsorbed by hydroxyl groups on CS-BT aerogel via chelation,and the maximum adsorption capacity of the obtained aerogel to U(Ⅵ)is 140 mg·g^(-1)and the removal rate reaches up to 99%(at 298.15 K,pH=5.0).The pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Freundlich model can better match the adsorption process of CS-BT aerogel,implying that its adsorption is a chemical adsorption process dominated by multilayer adsorption.The thermodynamic results show that the adsorption process of U(Ⅵ)by CS-BT aerogel is spontaneous and exothermic.Hence,our biomass aerogel can effectively extract uranium from water,contributing to the sustainable development of the nuclear industry.

文摘Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant re-newable resource on Earth,boasting advan-tages such as wide avail-ability and negative car-bon emissions.Especial-ly,efficient separation of lignocellulose into cellu-lose,hemicellulose and lignin,and realizing val-orization of these compo-nents are more responsive to the development needs of biomass refinery and the green chem-istry era.This review outlines the main components of lignocellulose and briefly summerizes their utilization in chemical raw materials and energy production.It mainly focused on cur-rent advances in component separation methods of lignocellulose by organic solvents,ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents.The design of separation methods,understanding of sepa-ration mechanisms,and optimization of reaction systems in each method are highlighted in detail.Furthermore,the ongoing challenges and future directions based on mechanism and in-dustrialization are critically discussed.Our goal is to elucidate the separation mechanisms and principles of method design,providing guidance for the development of highly efficient com-ponent separation methods of lignocellulose.

文摘This study investigated biomass allocation in young stands of European beech(Fagus sylvatica L.)and Norway spruce(Picea abies(L.)Karst.)across 31 forest sites in the Western Carpathians,Slovakia.A total of 541 trees aged 2–10 years,originating from natural regeneration and planting,were destructively sampled to quantify biomass in four components:foliage,branches,stems,and roots.Generalized non-linear least squares(GNLS)models with a weighing variance function outperformed log-transformed seemingly unrelated regression(SUR)models in terms of accuracy and robustness,especially for foliage and branch biomass.When using height as the predictor,SUR models tended to underestimate biomass in planted beech,leading to notable underprediction of aboveground and total biomass.Biomass allocation patterns varied significantly by species and regeneration origin.Using a non-linear system of equations and component ratio modelling,we found out that planted spruce displayed low variability and a consistent dominance of needle biomass,while naturally regenerated beech showed greater variability and a higher proportion of stem biomass,reflecting stronger competition-driven vertical growth.Interspecific differences in total biomass were more pronounced when using tree height,with spruce generally exhibiting greater biomass than beech at equivalent heights.Overall,stem base diameter marginally outperformed tree height as a predictor of biomass.However,tree height-based models showed strong performance and are particularly suitable for integration with remote sensing applications.These findings can directly support forest managers and modellers in comparing regeneration methods and biomass estimation approaches for early-stage stand development,carbon accounting,and remote sensing calibration.

文摘High-power capacitors are highly demanded in advanced electronics and power systems,where rising concerns on the operating temperatures have evoked the attention on developing highly reliable high-temperature dielectric polymers.Herein,polyetherimide(PEI)filled with highly insulating Al_(2)O_(3)(AO)nanoparticles dielectric composite films have been fabricated aiming for high thermal stability and reliability operated under high cycling electric field and elevated temperature.At room temperature,incorporating a small fraction of 0.5 vol%AO nanoparticles gives rise to a highest discharged energy density(U_(e))of 5.57 J·cm^(-3)and efficiency(η)of 90.9%at650 MV·m^(-1),and a robust cycling stability up to 10^(7) cycles at 400 MV·m^(-1).Due to the substantially reduced dielectric loss,2.0 vol%AO/PEI nanocomposite film exhibits excellent high-temperature capacitive performances,delivering U_(e)~7.33 J·cm^(-3)withη~88.8%under 700 MV·m^(-1),and cycling stability up to 10^(6) cycles under 400 MV·m^(-1)at 100℃,and U_(e)~5.57 J·cm^(-3)withη~84.7%under 620 MV·m^(-1)at 150℃.Molecular dynamic simulations are performed to understand the microscopic mechanism via revealing the polymer relaxation process in the AO/PEI composite at elevated temperatures.Our results are therefore very encouraging for high-temperature high-power capacitor application.

文摘Influences of polymer-based grinding aid（PGA） on the damage process of concrete exposed to sulfate attack under dry-wet cycles were investigated. The mass loss, dynamic modulus of elasticity（Erd）, and S and Ca element contents of concrete specimens were measured. Scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, mercury intrusion porosimetry（MIP）, and X-ray diffractometry（XRD） were used to investigate the changing of microstructure of interior concrete. The results indicated that PGA was capable of reducing the mass loss and improving the sulfate attack resistance of concrete. X-ray fluorescence（XRF） analysis revealed that PGA delayed the transport process of sulfate ions and Ca ions. In addition, MIP analysis disclosed that the micropores of concrete with PGA increased in the fraction of 20-100 nm and decreased in the residues of 200 nm. Compared with the blank sample, concrete with PGA had more slender and well-organized hydration products, and no changes in hydration products ratio or type were observed.

文摘While numerous allometric models exist for estimating biomass in trees with single stems,models for multi-stemmed species are scarce.This study presents models for predicting aboveground biomass(AGB)in European hazel(Corylus avellana L.),growing in multi-stemmed shrub form.We measured the size and harvested the biomass of 30 European hazel shrubs,drying and weighing their woody parts and leaves separately.AGB(dry mass)and leaf area models were established using a range of predictors,such as the upper height of the shrub,number of shoots per shrub,canopy projection area,stem base diameter of the thickest stem,and the sum of cross-sectional areas of all stems at the stem base.The latter was the best predictor of AGB,but the most practically useful variables,defined as relatively easy to measure by terrestrial or aerial approaches,were the upper height of the shrub and the canopy projection area.The leaf biomass to AGB ratio decreased with the shrub's height.Specific leaf area of shaded leaves increases with shrub height,but that of leaves at the top of the canopy does not change significantly.Given that the upper shrub height and crown projection of European hazel can be estimated using remote sensing approaches,especially UAV and LIDAR,these two variables appear the most promising for effective measurement of AGB in hazel.

文摘Enhancing soil organic matter characteristics,ameliorating physical structure,mitigating heavy metal toxicity,and hastening mineral weathering processes are crucial approaches to accomplish the transition of tailings substrate to a soil-like substrate.The incorporation of biomass co-pyrolysis and plant colonization has been established to be a significant factor in soil substrate formation and soil pollutant remediation.Despite this,there is presently an absence of research efforts aimed at synergistically utilizing these two technologies to expedite the process of mining tailings soil substrate formation.The current study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of geochemical changes and rapid mineral weathering during the process of transforming tailings substrate into a soil-like substrate,under the combined effects of biomass co-smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization.The findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of smoldering pyrolysis and plant colonization induces a high-temperature effect and biological effects,which enhance the physical and chemical properties of tailings,while simultaneously accelerating the rate of mineral weathering.Notable improvements include the amelioration of extreme pH levels,nutrient enrichment,the formation of aggregates,and an increase in enzyme activity,all of which collectively demonstrate the successful attainment of tailings substrate reconstruction.Evidence of the acceleratedweathering was verified by phase and surfacemorphology analysis using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.Discovered corrosion and fragmentation on the surface ofminerals.The weathering resulted in corrosion and fragmentation of the surface of the treated mineral.This study confirms that co-smoldering pyrolysis of biomass,combined with plant colonization,can effectively promote the transformation of tailings into soil-like substrates.This method has can effectively address the key challenges that have previously hindered sustainable development of the mining industry and provides a novel approach for ecological restoration of tailings deposits.

文摘The interaction mechanism between eggshell calcium and endogenous silica in biomass during biochar modification,and its impact on phosphate adsorption performance and slow-release fertilizer characteristics,remains unexplored.This study investigates that high silica content in biomass(>6%)inhibits the decomposition of CaCO_(3)in eggshells during pyrolysis,reducing the formation of active calcium species(CaO and Ca(OH)_(2)),while moderate silica levels(4%-5%)promote the formation of CaSiO_(3),enhancing phosphorus adsorption without hindering Ca^(2+)activation.Adsorption studies reveal that the precipitation of Ca_(5)(PO_(4))_(3)(OH)resulting from the combination of CaO and Ca(OH)_(2)with phosphate is the primary and effective form for phosphorus removal in calcium-modified adsorbents,accompanied by Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)·2H_(2)O precipitation formed by CaSi O_(3).Eggshell calcium-modified corn straw biochar(ECS)exhibited the highest adsorption capacity,reaching 123.3 mg/g,outperforming materials in previous studies.ECS also demonstrated excellent pH adaptability and selective phosphate removal.As a biochar-based phosphorus fertilizer,ECS-P exhibits high phosphorus extractability in formic acid(93.92%)but low water solubility(0.62%),with phosphorus release during the seven-day intermittent leaching experiment remaining between 0.53 to 0.875 mg/L.These results confirm its potential as a phosphorus cycling fertilizer.This study provides fundamental insights into optimizing biomass selection based on silica content for calcium modification,offering an efficient strategy for both phosphate recovery and slow-release fertilizer development.
