文摘Silica aerogel has broad applications in the field of high-temperature thermal insulation due to its low density,low thermal conductivity and high stability.However,its thermal insulation performance deteriorates significantly at elevated temperatures exceeding 600℃,primarily due to the collapse of pore structure.Meanwhile,the shielding capacity of SiO_(2) aerogel to the infrared radiation at high temperature is rather low due to the intrinsic properties of SiO_(2).Herein,a strategy for improving the high-temperature stability and infrared shielding properties of SiO_(2) aerogel via Ca doping was explored.Calcium-doped silica aerogel(CSA)powders were prepared by Sol-Gel,hydrothermal,and ambient pressure drying(APD)techniques using water glass and anhydrous calcium chloride as precursors and trimethylchlorosilane as a hydrophobic modifier.The effects of Ca/Si molar ratio in the precursor and hydrothermal conditions(temperature and pH)on the crystalline properties,microscopic morphology and pore structure of CSAs were investigated.The results show that the Ca/Si molar ratio and hydrothermal treatment have significant effects on the microstructure and heat resistance of CSAs in the temperature range of 400-1000℃.The samples sintered at 1000℃have a high specific surface area of 100.1 m^(2)/g and a pore volume of 0.8705 cm^(3)/g,indicating that the CSA has good heat resistance.One-side insulation tests at temperatures up to 600℃show that the sample with a Ca/Si molar ratio of 1.0 has the best insulation performance,with a cold surface temperature of 450℃,which is 27℃lower than that of the pure silica aerogel.

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To synergistically recover alumina and alkali from red mud(RM),the structural stability and conversion mechanism of hydroandradite(HA)from hydrogarnet(HG)were investigated via the First-principles,XRF,XRD,PSD and SEM methods,and a novel hydrothermal process based on the conversion principle was finally proposed.The crystal structure simulation shows that the HA with varied silicon saturation coefficients is more stable than HG,and the HA with a high iron substitution coefficient is more difficult to be converted from HG.The(110)plane of Fe_(2)O_(3) is easier to combine with HG to form HA,and the binding energy is 81.93 kJ/mol.The effects of raw material ratio,solution concentration and hydrothermal parameters on the conversion from HG to HA were revealed,and the optimal conditions for the alumina recovery were obtained.The recovery efficiencies of alumina and Na_(2)O from the RM are 63.06%and 97.34%,respectively,and the Na_(2)O content in the treated RM is only 0.13%.

文摘The formation of copper deposits is closely related to hydrothermal processes.Understanding the migration of copper in hydrothermal fluids aids in reconstructing mineralization processes and deciphering deposit genesis.Copper primarily exists as Cu^(+)and Cu^(2+)in hydrothermal solutions,with redox conditions governing their interconversion.In chloride-rich geological fluids,Cu-Cl complexes are considered critical for copper transport.However,the specific types and valence transitions of Cu-Cl complexes under varying hydrothermal conditions remain poorly understood.This study employed in situ Raman spectroscopy to systematically analyze Cu+HCl and CuCl_(2)+K_(2)S_(2)O_(3)/H_(2) systems under saturated vapor pressure at 25-300℃,elucidating the effects of temperature,Cl^(-)concentration,and redox conditions on copper speciation.In the Cu^(+)HCl system,copper dissolved as monovalent Cu-Cl complexes.At high temperatures(>200℃),[CuCl_(2)]^(-)is the dominated species,whereas[CuCl_(3)]^(2-)becomes prevalent at lower temperatures and higher HCl concentrations.For the Cu^(2+)-Cl system,the dominant species transitioned from[Cu(H_(2)O)n]^(2+)(<50℃)to[CuCl_(4)]^(2-)(100℃)and further to[CuCl]^(+)and[CuCl_(2)]^(0) at 300℃.The introduction of reducing agents(K_(2)S_(2)O_(3)/H_(2))facilitated Cu^(2+)→Cu^(+)reduction,thereby stabilizing Cu^(+)-Cl complexes and inducing partial copper precipitation.The behavior of copper in chloriderich hydrothermal fluids observed in this study indicates that high-temperature oxidizing fluids facilitate Cu mobilization,while cooling and redox changes promote deposition and ore minerals formation.

文摘Bi/Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanocomposites consisting of Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanosheets decorated with Bi nanodots were synthesized by a hydrothermal method.The formation of Bi nanodots on the Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanosheet surfaces was attributed to the reducibility of 2-methoxyethanol in the precursor solution.Comparative photocatalytic evaluation reveals that the Bi/Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanocomposites significantly enhance the degradation efficiency(99.0%)of bisphenol A compared with Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanosheets(64.2%)under 120 min simulated solar irradiation.This remarkable enhancement can be attributed to the established Bi/Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)heterojunction structure,which effectively facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and accelerates interfacial charge transfer between the metallic Bi nanodots and semiconductor Bi_(2)Fe_(4)O_(9)nanosheets.The synergistic effects arising from this unique architecture ultimately lead to superior photocatalytic performance.

文摘Four groups of nano barium titanate powders were prepared using the hydrothermal method.Their phase structure,microscopic morphology and electrical properties were investigated,and the impacts of raw materials on the barium titanate powders as well as the reaction mechanisms were explored.XRD and FTIR indicate the presence of hydroxyl groups and a small amount of carboxyl groups on the powder surface,and the choice of raw materials significantly affects phase purity,with H_(2)TiO_(3)as raw materials being prone to introducing impurity phases.SEM shows that different precursors lead to morphological differences:soluble raw materials form uniform nanoparticles through a"dissolution-precipitation"mechanism while using TiO_(2)as the titanium source generates hollow bowl-like structures through an"in-situ transformation"mechanism,attributed to the synergistic effects of Ostwald ripening and Kirkendall diffusion.The dielectric properties tests indicate that the dielectric constant at room temperature(1500-3000)and Curie temperature(2000-5000)of the ceramics are both lower than those of ceramics produced by solid-state methods(4000-6000 and>10000),and the phase transition temperature range is widened,which is attributed to factors such as grain refinement,reduced tetragonality,grain boundary effects,and increased defects.

文摘A facile one-step hydrothermal method has been reported to synthesize theα-Fe_(2)O_(3)nanosheet arrays with the preferred orientation along the[104]direction on the ITO substrate.Theα-Fe_(2)O_(3)nanosheet arrays-based W/α-Fe_(2)O_(3)/ITO memristor has been achieved by depositing the circular W top electrodes on theα-Fe_(2)O_(3)nanosheet arrays.The as-prepared W/α-Fe_(2)O_(3)/ITO memristor shows a reliable nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching behavior with the high resistance ratio of about 103at the reading voltage of 0.1 V,good resistance retention over 10~3s,ultralow set voltage of-0.6 V and reset voltage of 0.7 V,and good durability.In addition,the tunneling conduction mechanism modified by the oxygen vacancies has been proposed and suggested to be responsible for the nonvolatile resistive switching behavior of the as-prepared W/α-Fe_(2)O_(3)/ITO memristor.This work demonstrates that the as-preparedα-Fe_(2)O_(3)nanosheet arrays-based W/α-Fe_(2)O_(3)/ITO memristor would be a promising candidate for further ultralow power nonvolatile memory applications.

文摘The hydrothermal signatures of mid-ocean ridge sediments are crucial geochemical data providing insights into investigating hydrothermal anomalies and locating seafloor massive sulfide deposits.This paper outlines the geochemical features of 24 surface sediments and one sediment core(26 V-GC 01,294 cm)along the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge(SMAR)from 18°S to 22°S,an area where hydrothermal active fields have yet to be discovered.The surface sediments mainly consist of biogenic carbonates,aluminosilicates,and hydrothermal Fe-Mn(oxy)oxides.The core sediments primarily comprise organic matter,detrital materials,hydrothermal components,and substances scavenged from seawater.The rare Earth element(REE)patterns suggest the presence of hydrothermal contributions within the surface and core sediments.The enrichment factors for Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn in surface sediments suggest these metals are concentrated at the 19°S,21°S,and 21.5°S segments,further indicating their potential as hydrothermal active fields.Downcore variations of Fe,Mn,P,Cu,Pb,V,and Co suggest at least six episodes of hydrothermal activity.The impact of hydrothermal processes on the sediments from SMAR 18°S to 22°S indicates that the study area has the potential to host a significant number of hydrothermal active fields.
文摘Anaerobic digestion(AD)is widely employed for sludge stabilization and waste reduction.However,the slow hydrolysis process hinders methane production and leads to prolonged sludge issues.In this study,an efficient and eco-friendly lysozyme pre-treatment method was utilized to address these challenges.By optimizing lysozyme dosage,hydrolysis and cell lysis were maximized.Furthermore,lysozyme combined with hydrothermal pretreatment enhanced overall efficiency.Results indicate that:(1)When lysozyme dosage reached 90 mg/g TS after 240 min of pretreatment,SCOD,soluble polysaccharides,and protein content reached their maxima at 855.00,44.09,and 204.86 mg/L,respectively.This represented an increase of 85.87%,365.58%,and 259.21%compared to the untreated sludge.Threedimensional fluorescence spectroscopy revealed the highest fluorescence intensity in the IV region(soluble microbial product),promoting microbial metabolic activity.(2)Lysozyme combined with hydrothermal pretreatment significantly increased SCOD,soluble proteins,and polysaccharide release from sludge,reducing SCOD release time.Orthogonal experiments identified Group 3 as the most effective for SCOD and soluble polysaccharide release,while Group 9 released the most soluble proteins.The significance order of factors influencing SCOD,soluble proteins,and polysaccharide release is hydrothermal temperature>hydrothermal time>enzymatic digestion time.(3)The lysozyme-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment group exhibited the fastest release and the highest SCOD concentration of 8,135.00 mg/L during anaerobic digestion.Maximum SCOD consumption and cumulative gas production increased by 95.89%and 130.58%,respectively,compared to the control group,allowing gas production to conclude 3 days earlier.

文摘The dissolved organic matter(DOM)with high mobility and reactivity plays a crucial role in soil.In this study,the characteristics and phytotoxicity ofDOMreleased fromthe hydrochars prepared from different feedstocks(cowmanure,corn stalk and Myriophyllum aquaticum)under three hydrothermal carbonization(HTC)temperatures(180,200 and 220°C)were evaluated.The results showed that the hydrochars had high dissolved organic carbon content(20.15 to 37.65 mg/g)and its content showed a gradual reduction as HTC temperature increased.Three fluorescent components including mixed substance of fulvic acid-like and humic acid-like substances(C1,30.92%-58.32%),UVA humic acid-like substance(C2,25.27%-29.94%)and protein-like substance(C3,11.74%-41.92%)were identified in hydrochar DOM by excitation emission matrix spectra coupled with parallel factor analysis.High HTC temperature increased the relative proportion of aromatic substances(C1+C2)and humification degree of hydrochar DOM from cow manure,while it presented adverse effects on the hydrochar DOM from corn stalk and Myriophyllum.aquaticum.The principal component analysis suggested that feedstock type and HTC temperature posed significant effects on the characteristics of hydrochar DOM.Additionally,seed germination test of all hydrochar DOM demonstrated that the root length was reduced by 8.88%-26.43%in contrast with control,and the germination index values were 73.57%-91.12%.These findings provided new insights into the potential environmental effects for hydrochar application in soil.

文摘Catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability are both crucial for the application of the selective catalytic reduction of NO_(x)with NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR)catalyst in diesel vehicles.In this study,a tin(Sn)-modified Ce-Nb mixed-oxide catalyst was synthesized as an NH_(3)-SCR catalyst for NO_(x)emission control.After the intro-duction of Sn,both the NH_(3)-SCR activity and the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst were remarkably promoted.Even after hydrothermal aging at 1000℃,the developed Ce_(1)Sn_(2)Nb_(1)O_(x)catalyst achieved more than 90%NO_(x)conversion at 325-500℃.Various methods,including N2-physisorption,X-ray diffraction,in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,X-ray pho-toelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduc-tion of hydrogen,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,and density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the promotional effects induced by the Sn species.The characteri-zation results showed that the addition of Sn not only promoted the formation of the Ce-Nb active phase but also improved its thermal stability,contributing to the excellent NH_(3)-SCR performance and hydrothermal stability.This study provides an excellent sintering-resistance catalyst for the application of diesel engine NO_(x)emission control.
文摘ZnO is a highly significant II-VI semiconductor known for its excellent optoelectronic properties,making it widely applicable and promising for use in light-emitting devices,solar cells,lasers,and photodetectors.The methods for preparing ZnO are diverse,and among them,the hydrothermal method is favored for its simplicity,ease of operation,and low cost,making it an optimal choice for ZnO single-crystal growth.Most studies investigating the effects of different hydrothermal experimental parameters on the morphology and performance of ZnO nano-materials typically focus on only 2—3 variable parameters,with few examining the impact of all possible experimental parameter changes on ZnO nano-mate-rials.The principles of the hydrothermal method and its advantages in nano-material preparation were briefly introduced in this article.The detailed discussion on the influence of various experimental parameters on the preparation of ZnO nano-materials was provided,which including reaction materials,Zn^(2+)/OH^(-)ratio,reaction time and temperature,additives,experimental equipment,and annealing conditions.The review co-vers how different experimental parameters affect the morphology and performance of the materials,as well as how different rare earth doping elements influence the performance of ZnO nano-materials.It is hoped that this work will contribute to future research on the hydrothermal synthesis of nano-materials.

文摘Currently,the carbothermal reduction-nitridation(CRN)process is the predominant method for preparing aluminum nitride(AlN)powder.Although AlN powder prepared by CRN process exhibits high purity and excellent sintering activity,it also presents challenges such as the necessity for high reaction temperatures and difficulties in achieving uniform mixing of its raw materials.This study presents a comprehensive investigation into preparation process of AlN nanopowders using a combination of hydrothermal synthesis and CRN.In the hydrothermal reaction,a homogeneous composite precursor consisting of carbon and boehmite(γ-AlOOH)is synthesized at 200℃using aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source,sucrose as the carbon source,and urea as the precipitant.During the hydrothermal process,the precursor develops a core-shell structure,with boehmite tightly coated with carbon(γ-AlOOH@C)due to electrostatic attraction.Compared with conventional precursor,the hydrothermal hybrid offers many advantages,such as ultrafine particles,uniform particle size distribution,good dispersion,high reactivity,and environmental friendliness.The carbon shell enhances thermodynamic stability of γ-Al_(2)O_(3) compared to the corundum phase(α-Al_(2)O_(3))by preventing the loss of the surface area in alumina.This stability enables γ-Al_(2)O_(3) to maintain high reactivity during CRN process,which initiates at 1300℃,and concludes at 1400℃.The underlying mechanisms are substantiated through experiments and thermodynamic calculations.This research provides a robust theoretical and experimental foundation for the hydrothermal combined carbothermal preparation of non-oxide ceramic nanopowders.

文摘A new adsorbent was successfully prepared by hydrothermal treatment and chemical activation through coal gasification fine slag(CGFS)and blue algae(BA)as raw materials and used for CO_(2)capture.The CO_(2)chemisorption capacity of the adsorbent was further enhanced by taking advantage of the nitrogenous bases contained in the BA.In the hydrothermal process,the addition of BA significantly increased the content of pyrrole nitrogen in the adsorbent.In the activation process,pyrrole nitrogen gradually changed into pyridine nitrogen and graphite nitrogen.Increased BA addition result in a higher specific surface area and microporosity of the adsorbent.The CO_(2)adsorption performance test proved that the CGFS-50%-CA sample has the strongest CO_(2)adsorption capacity at low temperature,up to 15.59 cm^(3)/g,which is mainly through physical adsorption,and the CGFS-10%-CA sample has the strongest CO_(2)adsorption capacity at high temperature,up to 7.31 cm^(3)/g,which is mainly through chemical adsorption.CO_(2)uptake of the CGFS-10%-CA sample was well maintained after 10 cycles,with regeneration efficiencies above 99%.The results indicate that the novel adsorbents with coexistence of physical and chemical adsorption have great potential for CO_(2)adsorption applications.

文摘To optimize the CO_(2) adsorption performance of carbon materials,this study proposed a preparation method for biomass-based porous carbon through hydrothermal carbonization coupled with nitrogen source optimization and K_(2)CO_(3) activation.The effects of different nitrogen sources(urea,piperazine,melamine,and polyaniline)and activation temperatures on the physicochemical features and CO_(2) adsorption characteristics of the porous carbons were systematically investigated.The results indicated that different nitrogen sources showed varying impacts on the CO_(2) uptake of porous carbons,and not all nitrogen sources enhanced the adsorption performance.The urea and piperazine doped porous carbons exhibited relatively low nitrogen contents and specific surface areas.Whereas the melamine doped carbons showed higher nitrogen contents and specific surface areas,but lacked narrow micropores,limiting their CO_(2) adsorption performance.In contrast,PAC-700,prepared using polyaniline as nitrogen source,featured a well-developed pore structure,abundant narrow micropores and pyrrolic-N groups,endowing it with enhanced CO_(2) adsorption capability.At 0℃/1 bar and 25℃/1 bar,the CO_(2) uptake of PAC-700 reached 6.85 and 4.64 mmol/g,respectively.Additionally,PAC-700 maintained a CO_(2) uptake retention ratio of 99%after 5 adsorption-desorption cycles and exhibited good CO_(2)/N_(2) selectivity of 22.4−51.6.These findings highlighted the advantageous CO_(2) adsorption performance of PAC-700,indicating its substantial application potential in the domain of carbon capture.

文摘Hydrothermal carbonization(HTC)is a promising technology for the coversion of swine manure(SM)for hydrochars(HCs).Currently,information on the humification of organic matter is limited during the HTC of SM,and its potential correlation with the passivation of heavy metals(HMs)remains unclear,which is crucial referece for the land application of SM-derived HCs.This study systematically investigated the humification of organic matter and the passivation of HMs during the HTC of SM and then explored their intrinsic connection.The HTC treatment can enhance the humification of organic matter,and the HCs obtained at 240℃ had the best humification effect,with the highest content of humus(83.84 mg·g^(-1)versus 41.97 mg·g^(-1)in SM)and humification rate(28.89%versus 15.73%in SM).Dissolved organic carbons(DOC)and readily oxidized organic carbons(ROC)were more easily degraded in the HTC of SM,and part was further converted into inactive organic carbon.HMs(Cu,Zn,Pb,and Cr)were enriched in HCs,but all HMs were largely passivated.The ecological risk of multi-HMs was reduced from moderate risk in SM to low risk in HCs.The percentages of HMs in exchangeable/acid-soluble forms were positively correlated with the contents of DOC and negatively correlated with the ratio of humic acids to fulvic acids(P<0.05).It was inferred that the humification of organic matter promoted the passivation of HMs in the HTC of SM.This study provided deeper insights into the humification of organic matter and it's intrinsic correlation with HMs-passivation during the HTC of SM.

文摘Millets,nutrient-rich grains packed with complex carbohydrates,dietary fiber,essential proteins,lipids,and antioxidant phytochemicals,are gaining recognition as valuable dietary components.Various processing techniques,including roasting,extrusion,germination,and hydrothermal treatment,have been employed to enhance nutritional bioavailability and consumer appeal.These processing,which involves the application of heat and moisture,induces specific transformations in millet components.Starch undergoes gelatinization,a process in which its crystalline structure is disrupted,leading to increased digestibility and viscosity.Proteins undergo denaturation,altering their structure and potentially improving their digestibility and functionality.Lipids may also undergo modifications,impacting their stability and interactions with other food components.These changes facilitate the release of bioactive compounds such as phenolics,flavonoids,and tannins.These processes effectively reduce anti-nutritional factors,further boosting nutrient availability.This review provides a comprehensive analysis of various hydrothermal methods,including steaming and heat-moisture treatment,and critically evaluates their impact on the physicochemical properties,nutritional profile,and potential health benefits of millet.Steaming,a gentler method involves cooking millet in a steamer basket above boiling water,preserving its delicate texture and nutty flavor while still promoting starch gelatinization and nutrient retention.Heat-moisture treatment,a more specialized technique,involves exposing millet to elevated temperatures and controlled moisture levels,inducing specific changes in starch properties without causing complete gelatinization.This review examines how hydrothermal methods affect the nutritional and functional properties of millet to inspire the development of innovative,nutritious millet-based food products.
文摘There are abundant hydrothermal events within the Dengying Formation dolomite of the Precambrian system in southwest China.Methods including petrography identification,fluid-inclusion observation,in-situ U-Pb dating,and in-situ measurement of rare earth element(REE),etc.are integrated to characterize hydrothermal activity process within the Dengying Formation dolomite.The hydrothermal activity therein can be divided into four stages on the basis of in-situ U-Pb dating results of saddle dolomite cements.The 1st-stage(415.0-400.0 Ma)and 2nd-stage(259.4-248.0 Ma)hydrothermal events are characterized by saddle dolomite filling along the margin of fractures,or filling within dilational breccia and zebra textures.Compared with matrix dolomite and seawater-derived fibrous dolomite,saddle dolomite exhibits obvious negative anomalies of Ce elements.The 3rd-stage(225.6-199.0 Ma)hydrothermal event is represented by galena,sphalerite and other Mississipppi Valley-type(MVT)mineral cements in residual space.The formation of lead-zinc ore is due to the precipitation of metal sulfide caused by the thermo-chemical sulfate reduction(TSR)reaction between hydrothermal fluids and hydrocarbons during the large-scale hydrocarbon charging period.The 4th-stage(130.0-41.0 Ma)hydrothermal event is characterized by quartz and a small amount of fluorite filling the residual pores with dolomites.Quartz and fluorite record the migration of deep high-temperature hydrothermal fluid along early fractures and residual pores.During this period,the hydrothermal fluids result in the heterogeneous structure of bitumen,which is a clear response to high-temperature hydrothermal activity.

文摘Hydrothermal liquefaction technology is an effective method for the resource utilization and energy conversion of biomass under the dual-carbon context,facilitating the conversion of biomass into liquid fuels and high-value chemicals.This paper reviews the latest advancements in the production of liquid fuels and chemicals from biomass hydrothermal liquefaction.It briefly introduces the effects of different types of biomass,such as organic waste,lignocellulosic materials,and algae,on the conversion efficiency and product yield during hydrothermal liquefaction.The specific mechanisms of solvent and catalyst systems in the hydrothermal liquefaction process are analyzed in detail.Compared to water and organic solvents,the biphasic solvent system yields higher concentrations of furan platform compounds,and the addition of an appropriate amount of NaCl to the solvent significantly enhances product yield.Homogeneous catalysts exhibit advantages in reaction rate and selectivity but are limited by high costs and difficulties in separation and recovery.In contrast,heterogeneous catalysts possess good separability and regeneration capabilities and can operate under high-temperature conditions,but their mass transfer efficiency and deactivation issues may affect catalytic performance.The direct hydrothermal catalytic conversion of biomass is also discussed for the efficient production of chemicals and fuels such as hexanol,ethylene glycol,lactic acid,and C5/C6 liquid alkanes.Finally,the advantages and current challenges of producing liquid fuels and chemicals from biomass hydrothermal liquefaction are thoroughly analyzed,along with potential future research directions.

文摘Bathymodiolus mussels distribute in both deep-sea cold seep and hydrothermal vent environments,whose endosymbiotic gill tissue is a prominent character for the adaptation of extreme habitats.However,few studies explored the adaptation mechanisms through comparative transcriptome sequencing and analysis of different tissues between seep mussels and vent mussels.We performed the comparative transcriptome sequencing and analysis for three tissue types(gill,mantle,and adductor muscle)of Bathymodiolus mussels collected from a cold seeping site Station S 11 and the 50-km away hydrothermal field Minami-Ensei Knoll in the Okinawa Trough.Results show that gene expression patterns had distinct tissue specificity.Compared with the non-endosymbiotic tissues(mantle and adductor muscle),the significantly strengthened gene functions in endosymbiotic gill included microbial recognition(fibrinogen C domain-containing protein 1-B-like(fibcd),fibrinogen-related protein 8(frp),peptidoglycan recognition proteins(pgrp),and C-type lectin(clec)),cell apoptosis and immunity(interferon regulatory factor 1/2-like 1(ir f),cathepsin D(ctsd),caspase 2(casp 2)),and antioxidant capacity(copper/zinc superoxide dismutase(czsod),glutathione peroxidase(gpx),selenoprotein(sel)),in both seep and vent individuals.Consistent with metal accumulation,high expression levels of genes related to heavy metal detoxification(cytochrome P 450(cyp),ferritin-like(ftl),metallothionein(mt),glutathione S-transferase(gst))were also observed in gill.Moreover,to adapt to high hydrostatic pressure in the deep sea,the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways associated with cellular community were significantly enriched in all three tissues,suggesting the regulation of cell structure and cell adhesion at transcriptional level.This study obtained gene expression profiles of deep-sea mussels subsisting at cold seep and hydrothermal vent sites,which could lay foundations for comprehensive investigations of molecular basis in adaptation of deep-sea mussels to the two extreme ecosystems.
