Nevertheless, the poor separation and recovery hamper their pilot-or industrial-scare applications because of their microcrystalline features. Herein, this challenge can be tackled by integrating Cu-MOFs into an alginate substrate to offer environmentally friendly, sustainable, facile separation, and high-performance MOF-based hydrogel photocatalysis platforms. The CuⅡ-MOF 1 and CuⅠ-MOF 2 were initially synthesized through a direct diffusion and single-crystal to single-crystal(SCSC) transformation method, respectively,and after the immobilization into alginate, more effective pollutant decontamination was achieved via the synergistic effect of the adsorption feature of hydrogel and in situ photodegradation of Cu-MOFs.Specifically, Cu-MOF-alginate composites present an improved and nearly completed Cr(Ⅵ) elimination at a short time of 15–25 min. Additionally, the congo red(CR) decolorization can be effectively enhanced in the presence of Cr(Ⅵ), and 1-alginate showed superior simultaneous decontamination efficiency of CR and Cr(Ⅵ) with 99% and 78%, respectively. Furthermore, Cu-MOF-alginate composites can maintain a high pollutant removal after over 10 continuous cycles(95% for Cr(Ⅵ) after 14 runs, and 90% for CR after 10runs). Moreover, the Cr(Ⅵ)/CR degradation mechanism for Cu-MOF-alginate composite was investigated.展开更多

文摘The coexistence of emerging containments,such as antibiotic resistant bacteria(ARB),antibiotic-resistant genes(ARGs)and antibiotics,potentially influence elimination efficiencies in UV light-emitting diode(UV-LED)alone and UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system as their complex interactions.Tetracycline(TC)degradation efficiency(kF)correlated closely with its UV molar absorbance(R^(2)=0.831)in UV-LED alone system and with·OH yield(R^(2)=0.999)in UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system across studied wavelengths(265,280 and 310 nm).The kF values for intracellular DNA(i-ARGs)also exhibited a high correlation with UV-LED wavelengths in both systems(R^(2)=0.997-0.999).The coexistence of TC and ARB/ARGs resulted in a mutual inhibition of their degradation efficiencies due to competition for photons and·OH,along with the consequent reduction in intracellular ROS within ARB,with their degradation efficiencies exhibiting marked dependence on wavelength in both systems.Notably,the UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system at 265 nm effectively achieved the simultaneous removal of TC,ARB and ARGs with minimal energy consumption,and successfully fragmented ARGs.The degradation pathway of TC was analyzed,and the biotoxicity of its degradation intermediates demonstrated the environmental friendliness and safety of UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) technology.This study elucidated the competitive interactions between antibiotics and ARB/ARGs within UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system,providing a promising approach for their simultaneous removal while ensuring energy efficiency.

文摘Machining high-performance engineering materials,faces challenges including low machining efficiency,poor workpiece surface integrity,and rapid tool wear,which restrict high quality and efficient machining.Ultra-high-speed machining(UHSM)has been expected to address these issues.However,the material removal mechanisms involved in UHSM remain unclear and need further exploration.This paper reviews the criteria for evaluating the ductile and brittle behaviors of high-performance materials subjected to machining,as well as the developmental history of the material’s ductile-brittle transition induced by machining,proposing the concept of relativization of ductile-brittle property.Additionally,it further summarizes three typical material removal mechanisms:ductile-mode removal based on shear stress,brittle-mode removal based on tensile stress,and extrusion removal based on compressive stress,clarifying the universality of the brittle-mode removal.On this basis,this paper focuses on the discussion of the material removal mechanisms in UHSM,including high strain-rate-induced material embrittlement,UHSM-induced skin effect of damage,and the thermal effect in UHSM.Furthermore,it provides a detailed description of the typical characteristics of chip morphology in the ductile-brittle transition region(DBTR)under the high strain rate condition and,for the first time,elucidates the material removal mechanisms in the DBTR from a microstructural dislocation perspective,enriching the basic theory of UHSM.In the discussion section,it standardizes the definition for the UHSM,and explores the dislocation movement at high strain rates and the crack propagation in the UHSM.Finally,based on the current status of the UHSM technology,it summarizes the relevant research hotspots.For the first time,this paper brings up the brittle-mode removal mechanism under ultra-high-speed conditions,which is helpful to promote the UHSM for industrial applications.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) provide great prospective in the photodegradation of pollutants. Nevertheless, the poor separation and recovery hamper their pilot-or industrial-scare applications because of their microcrystalline features. Herein, this challenge can be tackled by integrating Cu-MOFs into an alginate substrate to offer environmentally friendly, sustainable, facile separation, and high-performance MOF-based hydrogel photocatalysis platforms. The CuⅡ-MOF 1 and CuⅠ-MOF 2 were initially synthesized through a direct diffusion and single-crystal to single-crystal(SCSC) transformation method, respectively,and after the immobilization into alginate, more effective pollutant decontamination was achieved via the synergistic effect of the adsorption feature of hydrogel and in situ photodegradation of Cu-MOFs.Specifically, Cu-MOF-alginate composites present an improved and nearly completed Cr(Ⅵ) elimination at a short time of 15–25 min. Additionally, the congo red(CR) decolorization can be effectively enhanced in the presence of Cr(Ⅵ), and 1-alginate showed superior simultaneous decontamination efficiency of CR and Cr(Ⅵ) with 99% and 78%, respectively. Furthermore, Cu-MOF-alginate composites can maintain a high pollutant removal after over 10 continuous cycles(95% for Cr(Ⅵ) after 14 runs, and 90% for CR after 10runs). Moreover, the Cr(Ⅵ)/CR degradation mechanism for Cu-MOF-alginate composite was investigated.

文摘Current research primarily focuses on emerging organic pollutants,with limited attention to emerging inorganic pollutants (EIPs).However,due to advances in detection technology and the escalating environmental and health challenges posed by pollution,there is a growing interest in treating waters contaminated with EIPs.This paper explores biochar characteristics and modification methods,encompassing physical,chemical,and biological approaches for adsorbing EIPs.It offers a comprehensive review of research advancements in employing biochar for EIPs remediation in water,outlines the adsorption mechanisms of EIPs by biochar,and presents an environmental and economic analysis.It can be concluded that using biochar for the adsorption of EIPs in wastewater exhibits promising potential.Nonetheless,it is noteworthy that certain EIPs like Au(III),Rh(III),Ir(III),Ru(III),Os(III),Sc(III),and Y(III),have not been extensively investigated regarding their adsorption onto biochar.This comprehensive review will catalyze further inquiry into the biochar-based adsorption of EIPs,addressing current research deficiencies and advancing the practical implementation of biochar as a potent substrate for EIP removal from wastewater streams.

文摘Microplastics(MPs),as a new category of environmental pollutant,have been the hotspot of eco-friendly issues nowadays.Studies based on the aging process,the migration pattern of MPs in runoff rainwater,and the use of bioretention cells to remove MPs from runoff rainwater are beginning to attract widespread attention.This review analyses the migration patterns of MPs in rainwater runoff through their sources,structure and characteristics.The mechanism of removing MPs from runoff stormwater,the purification efficiency of different fillers and their influencing factors,and the accumulation,fate,and aging of MPs in bioretention cells are described.Furthermore,the hazards of MP accumulation on the performance of bioretention cells are summarised.Future directions for removing MPs in bioretention cells are proposed:(1)research on MPs smaller than 100μm;(2)influence of MPs aging process on bioretention cells;(3)exploration of more effective fillers to enhance their removal efficiency;(4)research on synergistic removal mechanism of MPs and other pollution.

文摘The removal of harmful cyanobacterial blooms(HCBs)and reuse of the resulting algal sludge are pressing issues in current environmental governance and ecological conservation.Aiming at tackling the abovementioned challenges,titanium(Ti)-based coagulants are promising candidates.However,most of them suffer from poor stability and weak actual algal removal ability,and recycling of the algal sludge usually produces titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))with low photocatalytic ability.In this work,a lanthanum(La)-modified polytitanium chloride(La-PTC)coagulant is reported.La in the La-PTC coagulant serves a"kill two birds with one stone"strategy in algae removal and algae sludge reuse.Owing to the introduction of La ions,the La-PTC coagulant exhibits ultra-high stability and excellent algae removal capability with an efficiency of 98.71%,which is 7.25%higher than that of PTC coagulant.Moreover,recycling algae sludge can prepare high catalytic(2.45 times the commercial P25 TiO_(2))La/C-TiO_(2),where the presence of La enhances its visible light response range and inhibits electron hole recombination.The strategy of this La modified coagulant can not only achieve efficient re moval of HCBs,but also transfo rm the recovered algal sludge into photocatalysts with higher catalytic capacity.

文摘The goethite residue generated from zinc hydrometallurgy is classified as hazardous solid waste,produced in large quantities,and results in significant zinc loss.The study was conducted on removing iron from FeSO_(4)-ZnSO_(4) solution,employing seed-induced nucleation methods.Analysis of the iron removal rate,residue structure,morphology,and elemental composition involved ICP,XRD,FT-IR,and SEM.The existing state of zinc was investigated by combining step-by-step dissolution using hydrochloric acid.Concurrently,iron removal tests were extended to industrial solutions to assess the influence of seeds and solution pH on zinc loss and residue yield.The results revealed that seed addition increased the iron removal rate by 3%,elevated the residual iron content by 6.39%,and mitigated zinc loss by 29.55%in the simulated solution.Seed-induced nucleation prevented excessive nuclei formation,fostering crystal stable growth and high crystallinity.In addition,the zinc content of surface adsorption and crystal internal embedding in the residue was determined,and the zinc distribution on the surface was dense.In contrast,the total amount of zinc within the crystal was higher.The test results in the industrial solution demonstrated that the introduction of seeds expanded the pH range for goethite formation and growth,and the zinc loss per ton of iron removed was reduced by 50.91 kg(34.12%)and the iron residue reduced by 0.17 t(8.72%).

文摘Several studies have demonstrated that reintroducing crop straw to fields may intensify cadmium(Cd)contamination in agricultural soils.However,the specific effects of long-term straw management practices on Cd concentration and its bioavailability in soil-rice ecosystems remain unclear.In this context,to explore the influence of straw return(SR)and straw removal(NSR)on Cd accumulation in both soil and rice within a double-cropping system,we conducted a four-year field study.Our research study unveiled that NSR consistently decreased soil Cd concentration and its bioavailability by approximately 16.93%–27.30%and 8.23%–21.05%respectively across both study sites.Conversely,SR resulted in a substantial increase in soil Cd bioavailability,ranging from 38.64%–53.95%.Notably,compared to NSR,SR significantly increased total soil Cd by 5.47%–36.58%and increased Cd content in brown rice by 8.00%–100.24%.Remarkably,after four consecutive years of NSR,brown rice Cd concentration at the Changfeng site compiled with national safety standards(GB 2762–2022).Additionally,returning early rice strawsignificantly raised soil Cd bioavailability for the subsequent crop,more so than late rice straw did for the early rice the following year.The findings suggest that traditional double-cropping cultivation with straw removal can effectively mitigate Cd contamination risks in crops and farmland in Hunan Province.

文摘Wigner-Ville distribution(WVD)is widely used in the field of signal processing due to its excellent time-frequency(TF)concentration.However,WVD is severely limited by the cross-term when working with multicomponent signals.In this paper,we analyze the property differences between auto-term and cross-term in the one-dimensional sequence and the two-dimensional plane and approximate entropy and Rényi entropy are employed to describe them,respectively.Based on this information,we propose a new method to achieve adaptive cross-term removal by combining seeded region growing.Compared to other methods,the new method can achieve cross-term removal without decreasing the TF concentration of the auto-term.Simulation and experimental data processing results show that the method is adaptive and is not constrained by the type or distribution of signals.And it performs well in low signal-to-noise ratio environments.

文摘Atomic surfaces are strictly required by high-performance devices of diamond.Nevertheless,diamond is the hardest material in nature,leading to the low material removal rate(MRR)and high surface roughness during machining.Noxious slurries are widely used in conventional chemical mechanical polishing(CMP),resulting in the possible pollution to the environment.Moreover,the traditional slurries normally contain more than four ingredients,causing difficulties to control the process and quality of CMP.To solve these challenges,a novel green CMP for single crystal diamond was developed,consisting of only hydrogen peroxide,diamond abrasive and Prussian blue(PB)/titania catalyst.After CMP,atomic surface is achieved with surface roughness Sa of 0.079 nm,and the MRR is 1168 nm·h^(-1).Thickness of damaged layer is merely 0.66 nm confirmed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,electron paramagnetic resonance and TEM reveal that·OH radicals form under ultraviolet irradiation on PB/titania catalyst.The·OH radicals oxidize diamond,transforming it from monocrystalline to amorphous atomic structure,generating a soft amorphous layer.This contributes the high MRR and formation of atomic surface on diamond.The developed novel green CMP offers new insights to achieve atomic surface of diamond for potential use in their high-performance devices.

文摘The application of photocatalytic technology in algae killing is limited by the non-floatability and difficulty in recycling of the photocatalysts.Loading photocatalyst on magnetic or floatable carriers is the most popular method for overcoming the above inadequacies.In this work,a CdZnS/TiO_(2) membrane photocatalyst with adjustable suspended depth(include floating)and flexible assembly is designed,which is less prone to dislodgement due to in situ synthesis and has a wider range of applicability than previously reported photocatalysts.The photocatalytic removal of Microcystis aeruginosa revealed that the suspended depth and distribution format of the CdZnS/TiO_(2) membrane photocatalysts have striking effects on the photocatalytic removal performance of Microcystis aeruginosa,the photocatalytic removal efficiency of CdZnS/TiO_(2)-2 membrane photocatalysts for Microcystis aeruginosa could reach to 98.6%in 60 min when the photocatalysts assembled in the form of 3×3 arrays suspended at a depth of 2 cm from the liquid surface.A tiny amount of TiO_(2) loading allows the formation of Z-Scheme heterojunction,resulting in accelerating the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers,preserving the photogenerated electrons and holes with stronger reduction and oxidation ability and inhabiting the photo-corrosion of CdZnS.

文摘Mercury removal from coal combustion flue gas remains a significant challenge for environmental protection due to the lack of cost-effective sorbents.In this study,a series of red mud(RM)-based sorbents impregnated with sodium halides(NaBr and NaI)are presented to capture elemental mercury(Hg^(0))from flue gas.The modified RM underwent comprehensive characterization,including analysis of its textural qualities,crystal structure,chemical composition,and thermal properties.The results indicate that the halide impregnation substantially impacts the surface area and pore size of the RM.Hg^(0) removal performance was evaluated on a fixed-bed reactor in simulated flue gas(consisting of N_(2),O_(2),CO_(2),NO and SO_(2),etc.)on a modified RM.At an optimal adsorption temperature of 160℃,NaI-modified sorbent(RMI5)offers a removal efficiency of 98%in a mixture of gas,including O_(2),NO and HCl.Furthermore,pseudo-second-order model fitting results demonstrate the chemisorption mechanism for the adsorption of Hg^(0) in kinetic investigations.

文摘Removing copper from nickel electrolysis anode solution has been a major keypoint in the nickel metallurgy industry.In this study,we proposed a novel process flow to promote removing copper from nickel electrolysis anode solution.A simulated nickel anode solution was designed,and static and dynamic adsorption experiments were conducted to determine the best of solution pH,adsorption time and temperature,resin dosage and particle size,and stirring speed.The optimal conditions were explored for copper removal from nickel electrolysis anode solution.Based on the optimal experimental conditions and the relevant experimental data,a novel process for copper removal from nickel electrolysis anodes was designed and verified.This novel process of copper removal from nickel electrolysis anodes was confirmed with nickel anolyte solution with nickel 50−60 g/L and copper 0.5 g/L.After finishing the novel process of copper removal,the nickel in the purified nickel anolyte became undetectable and copper concentration was 3 mg/L,the novel process of resin adsorption to remove copper from nickel anode solution through static and dynamic adsorptions has an efficacious copper removal.It is a beneficial supplement to traditional methods.
