Patulin contamination within apple products poses a serious health risk to consumers. Studies done on laboratory animals have demonstrated that patulin has a broad spectrum of toxicity, including mutagen city and carcinogenicity. The aim of the experiment was studying influence of selectively acting activated carbon powder--Ercarbon SH （Erbsloh, Germany） which is special produced for lowering HMF （hydroxy methyl furfural）, on reduction of patulin content in clear apple juice. Industrial apple row material with some damaged parts was pressed, juice was pasteurized at 95 ℃ during 2 min. After cooling on 55 ℃, enzymatic treated and clarified juice were filtered by 0.45 [am pore sizes membrane filter, Apple clear juice sample was divided for five parts. The samples of apple juice were diluted to 11.5° Brix and contacted with concentrations of 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 g/L activated carbon powder for 30 min. After filtration in the experimental samples, putulin was quantitatively determined by HPLC （high performance liquid chromatography with UV） detector at 276 nm. The research revealed that the best results were achieved by treatment with activated carbon in its powder form at concentration of 2.5 g/L with 30 min contact time.展开更多

文摘Lakes are carbon dioxide(CO_(2))and methane(CH_(4))emission hotspots,whose associated flux is spatially vari-able.Many studies have investigated the impact of microorganisms and environmental factors on CO_(2) and CH_(4) emissions between different lakes.However,the carbon emissions and their influencing factors of different areas within a single lake remain poorly understood.Accordingly,this study investigates CO_(2) and CH_(4) emission hetero-geneity in a large floodplain lake system and distribution characteristics of associated functional microorganisms.Findings show that mean CO_(2) and CH_(4) flux values in the sub lake area were 62.03±24.21 mg/(m2·day)and 5.97±3.2μg/(m2·day),which were greater by factors of 1.78 and 2.96 compared to the water channel and the main lake area,respectively.The alpha diversity of methanogens in the sub lake area was lower than that in the main lake and water channel areas.The abundance of methanogens in bottom water layer was higher compared with the middle and surface layers.Conversely,the abundance of methane(CH_(4))-oxidizing bacteria in the surface layer was higher than that in the bottom layer.Additionally,the composition of methanogen and CH_(4)-oxidizing bacterial community,chlorophyll a(Chl-a),pH,total phosphorus(TP)and dissolved organic carbon(DOC)con-tent constituted the dominate driving factors affecting lake C emissions.Results from this study can be used to improve our understanding of lake spatial heterogeneous of CO_(2) and CH_(4) emission and the driving mechanisms within floodplain lakes under the coupling effects of functional C microorganisms and environmental factors.

文摘Ship operations are crucial to global trade,and their decarbonization is essential to mitigate climate change.This study evaluates the economic viability of existing and emerging decarbonization technologies in maritime shipping using the levelized cost of energy methodology.It includes a detailed comparative analysis based on essential criteria and sensitivity assessments to highlight the economic impacts of technological advancements.Key factors influencing total costs include fuel costs,carbon pricing,and energy demands for carbon capture.The findings reveal that methanol is more cost-effective than heavy fuel oil(HFO)when priced below 3000 CNY/t,assuming HFO costs 4400 CNY/t.Additionally,methanol with post-combustion carbon capture is less expensive than pre-combustion carbon capture.When carbon prices rise above 480 CNY/t,carbon capture technologies prove more economical than purchasing carbon emission allowances for HFO and liquefied natural gas.Enhanc-ing the use of exhaust gas waste heat is recommended for cost savings.Post-combustion carbon capture also shows greater efficiency,requiring about 1.1 GJ/t less energy than pre-combustion methods,leading to lower overall costs.Future research should focus on market mechanisms to stabilize fuel prices and develop less energy-intensive carbon capture technologies.This study offers critical insights into effective decarbonization strategies for advancing global maritime trade in the present and future.

文摘The integration of carbon dots(CDs)with graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))has emerged as a promising approach to enhance photocatalytic hydrogen(H_(2))evolution.Despite significant progress,critical challenges remain in achieving broad visiblelight absorption and suppressing charge recombination.In this work,we developed a series of photocatalysts through in situ embedding of red-emissive CDs(R-CDs)into g-C_(3)N_(4)(RCN)with precisely controlled loading amounts.Systematic characterization revealed that the R-CDs incorporation simultaneously addresses two fundamental limitations:(1)extending the light absorption edge to 800 nm,and(2)acting as an electron acceptor,facilitating charge separation.The optimized RCN composite demonstrates exceptional H_(2)evolution activity(1.87 mmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1),wavelength(λ)≥420 nm),representing a 3.3-fold enhancement over pristine g-C_(3)N_(4).Remarkably,the apparent quantum efficiency(AQE)reaches 9.1% at 420 nm,while maintaining measurable activity beyond 475 nm,where unmodified g-C_(3)N_(4)shows negligible response.This study provides fundamental insights into band structure engineering and charge carrier management through rational design of CDs-modified semiconductor heterostructures.

文摘Porous carbon microspheres are widely regarded as a superior CO_(2) adsorbent due to their exceptional efficiency and affordability.However,better adsorption performance is very attractive for porous carbon microspheres.And modification of the pore structure is one of the effective strategies.In this study,multi-cavity mesoporous carbon microspheres were successfully synthesized by the synergistic method of soft and hard templates,during which a phenolic resin with superior thermal stability was employed as the carbon precursor and a mixture of silica sol and F108 as the mesoporous template.Carbon microspheres with multi-cavity mesoporous structures were prepared,and all the samples showed highly even mesopores,with diameters around 12 nm.The diameter of these microspheres decreased from 396.8 nm to about 182.5 nm with the increase of silica sol.After CO_(2) activation,these novel carbon microspheres(APCF0.5-S1.75)demonstrated high specific surface area(983.3 m^(2)/g)and remarkable CO_(2) uptake of 4.93 mmol/g at 0℃ and1 bar.This could be attributed to the unique multi-cavity structure,which offers uniform mesoporous pore channels,minimal CO_(2) transport of and a greater number of active sites for CO_(2) adsorption.

文摘Photosynthesis is a promising method for H_(2)O_(2)production,but its application in pure water is limited by slow oxidation kinetics and rapid photocarrier recombination of photocatalysts.Herein,a novel defective carbon nitride photocatalyst(D-C3-xN4)containing the C vacancies and the frustrated Lewis pairs(B and N of cyano group)is designed for H_(2)O_(2)photosynthesis,and the role of C vacancies on the electron transfer mechanism during photocatalysis is systematically investigated.The D-C_(3-x)N_(4) exhibits a H_(2)O_(2)production rate of 140.1μmol·g^(-1)·h^(-1) in pure water,which is 87.6 times that of C_(3)N_(4).Such superior performance for H_(2)O_(2)photosynthesis is found to arise from the C vacancies and frustrated Lewis pairs(FLPs).The C vacancies have strong electron-trapping ability,which greatly enhances the separation of photocarriers.The C vacancies can also effectively reduce O_(2)to*OOH via a proton-coupled process,which significantly accelerates the O_(2)reduction kinetics.Meanwhile,the FLPs show an outstanding catalytic activity for H_(2)O oxidation.This study not only provides a new structure for highly active photocatalysts,but also deepens the understanding of the electron transfer mechanism of photocatalysts with trapped sites.

文摘Conductive materials(CM)can improve methane production(MP)efficiency in many methanogenic systems.However,several types of CM exist,and there are uncertainties regarding whether they all improve MP efficiency to the same extent and modulate microbial communities in a similar way.To investigate that,different microbial enrichments with and without activated carbon(AC),magnetite(Mag),and zeolites(Zeo)(at 0.5 g/L)were developed.MP profiles and microbial composition changes were compared among enrichments.The behavior of all enrichments was different,although the initial inoculum sludge was the same.Lag phase duration was lower in AC enrichment,while the complete conversion of butyrate to methane was faster in Mag enrichment.Syntrophomonas was the most abundant bacterial genus in all enrichments,but changes in the methanogenic community were evident.Acetoclastic methanogens were more diverse in Mag enrichment,with microorganisms assigned to Methanosarcina and Methanothrix gener1,but Methanothrix was the only acetoclastic methanogen in the other enrichments.On the other hand,different species of hydrogenotrophic methanogens prevailed in distinct enrichments.The metatranscriptomics results revealed that the dominant mechanism of interspecies electron transfer in the AC enrichment utilized hydrogen as the electron carrier,and no evidences of direct interspecies electron transfer(DIET)could be found.These results showed how different CM modulate microbial communities and affect MP efficiency through mechanisms that do not necessarily involve DIET or mediation via CM.

文摘Green transplant refers to the realization of the importance of understanding and improving the environmental footprint of transplantation through sustainable practices.This involves assessing the entire transplantation process including preoperative evaluation,donation,organ and patient transportation,surgery,postoperative recovery,and follow-up.This is a topic that has not been fully addressed yet,but its importance is being increasingly appreciated in surgery.The aim of this study was to investigate the carbon footprint associated with transplantation and propose sustainable mitigating solutions.A comprehensive review of the existing literature on transplantation was conducted and supplemented with findings from the broader fields of surgical and perioperative care,given the scarcity of available data.The analysis identified the most involved environmental factors and attempted to offer practical solutions based on current sustainability practices.Notably,no study has yet examined the carbon footprint associated with the entire transplantation procedure.Only five studies have attempted to assess the environmental impact of kidney or liver transplants,but they focused,almost explicitly,on specific steps of the process.By employing an extrapolative methodology from the broader surgical field,we determined that the primary contributors to the environmental impact of transplantation are energy,consumables and materials,anesthesia and pharmaceuticals,transportation,and water.This review offers practical solutions utilizing the 5R framework,emphasizing sustainability to ensure transplantation remains clinically and environmentally relevant.

文摘The carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)is a promising strategy for converting CO_(2)into high-value chemicals.However,the rational design of efficient catalysts for steering product selectivity toward specific high-value chemicals continues to be a central goal in electrocatalysis research.Recently,nanoporous confined electrocatalysts have garnered attention due to their unique pore structures,which not only increase the accessibility and utilization of active sites but also promote the enrichment and stabilization of key reaction intermediates and modulate the local reaction microenvironment.These combined effects contribute to improved reaction kinetics and enhanced product selectivity.This review systematically summarizes the mechanistic foundations of nanoporous confinement in CO_(2)RR,emphasizing its role in governing reaction pathways and selectivity.We introduce the fundamental design principles of nanoporous confined electrocatalysts,detailing how their pore size,tortuosity,and connectivity influence CO_(2)diffusion,local concentration gradients,and electrolyte accessibility.Then highlight how confinement-induced spatial regulation facilitates intermediate accumulation,directional proton transfer,and local pH modulation,collectively steering product selectivity toward desired C_(1) and multi-carbon(C_(2+))products.Representative material systems and structure-performance relationships are discussed to illustrate these effects.Finally,we summarize the current challenges in mechanistic understanding and practical implementation,and propose future directions for developing nanoporous systems that integrate controlled transport,catalytic reactivity,and system-level scalability.

文摘Extremely fast-charging and longlife span are critical yet challenging for the development of cost-effective and sustainable potassium-ion batteries(PIBs)due to the sluggish kinetics and rapid capacity decay of graphite anodes caused by the large radius of K ions(1.38 A).To tackle this issue,here a new type of nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon tubes(NGCTs)is reported via a ZrO_(2)-templated chemical vapor deposition(CVD)approach.The carbon interlayer spacing,crystallite size,and Nconfigurations in NGCTs are controlled by adjusting the CVD temperature(800,900,and 1000℃).The optimized NGCT-900 sample well balances the graphitic domains and structural defects,thus enabling fast K^(+)insertion/extraction below 1 V(vs.K^(+)/K).These tubular carbon membranes achieve exceptional K^(+)-storage performance including high K^(+)-storage capacities of 404 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 A·g^(-1),ultrafast charging at 50 A·g^(-1)and a super-long cycle life of up to 6000 cycles.Ex-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD),insitu Raman,and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique(GITT)analyses reveal a synergistic K^(+)-adsorptionintercalation mechanism.Further comparison with S or P heteroatoms underscores the significance of N-doping in enhancing reversible K^(+)intercalation into graphitic domains and boosting surface adsorption capacity.The fabricated NGCT-900//K_(x)Ni_(0.33)Mn_(0.67)O_(2)PIB(1.2-3.2 V)provides both a high-energy density of 187 Wh·kg^(-1)(comparable to graphite//LiFePO_(4)lithium-ion batteries(LIBs))and a high-power density of 2200 W·kg^(-1)at 123 Wh·kg^(-1).This study establishes a carbon anode design strategy for advanced potassium storage.

文摘Controllable synthesis of ultrathin metallene nanosheets and rational design of their spatial arrangement in favor of electrochemical catalysis are critical for their renewable energy applications.Here,a biomimetic design of“Trunk-Branch-Leaf”strategy is proposed to prepare the ultrathin edge-riched Zn-ene“leaves”with a thickness of~2.5 nm,adjacent Zn-ene cross-linked with each other,which are supported by copper nanoneedle“branches”on copper mesh“trunks,”named as Zn-ene/Cu-CM.The resulting superstructure enables the formation of an interconnected network and multiple channels,which can be used as an electrocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)electrode to allow a fast charge and mass transfer as well as a large electrolyte reservoir.By virtue of the distinctive structure,the obtained Zn-ene/Cu-CM electrode exhibits excellent selectivity and activity toward CO production with a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 91.3%and incredible partial current density up to 40 mA cm^(−2),outperforming most of the state-of-the-art Zn-based electrodes for CO_(2) reduction.The phenolphthalein color probe combined with in situ attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy uncovered the formation of the localized pseudo-alkaline microenvironment at the interface of the Zn-ene/Cu-CM electrode.Theoretical calculations confirmed that the localized pH as the origin is responsible for the adsorption of CO_(2) at the interface and the generation of *COOH and *CO intermediates.This study offers valuable insights into developing efficient electrodes through synergistic regulation of reaction microenvironments and active sites,thereby facilitating the electrolysis of practical CO_(2) conversion.

文摘Nanoconfinement is a promising approach to simultaneously enhance the thermodynamics,kinetics,and cycling stability of hydrogen storage materials.The introduction of supporting scaffolds usually causes a reduction in the total hydrogen storage capacity due to“dead weight.”Here,we synthesize an optimized N-doped porous carbon(rN-pC)without heavy metal as supporting scaffold to confine Mg/MgH_(2) nanoparticles(Mg/MgH_(2)@rN-pC).rN-pC with 60 wt%loading capacity of Mg(denoted as 60 Mg@rN-pC)can adsorb and desorb 0.62 wt%H_(2) on the rN-pC scaffold.The nanoconfined MgH_(2) can be chemically dehydrided at 175℃,providing~3.59 wt%H_(2) with fast kinetics(fully dehydrogenated at 300℃ within 15 min).This study presents the first realization of nanoconfined Mg-based system with adsorption-active scaffolds.Besides,the nanoconfined MgH_(2) formation enthalpy is reduced to~68 kJ mol^(−1) H_(2) from~75 kJ mol^(−1) H_(2) for pure MgH_(2).The composite can be also compressed to nanostructured pellets,with volumetric H_(2) density reaching 33.4 g L^(−1) after 500 MPa compression pressure,which surpasses the 24 g L^(−1) volumetric capacity of 350 bar compressed H_(2).Our approach can be implemented to the design of hybrid H_(2) storage materials with enhanced capacity and desorption rate.

文摘Atmospheric CO_(2) concentrations are predominantly regulated by multiple emission sources,with industrial emis-sions representing a critical anthropogenic driver that significantly influences temporal and spatial heterogeneity in regional CO_(2) patterns.This study investigated the spatiotemporal distribution of atmospheric CO_(2) in Pucheng and Nanping industrial parks,Nanping City,by conducting field experiments using two coherent differential absorption lidars from 1 August to 31 October 2024.Results showed that the spatial distributions of CO_(2) emis-sions within a 3 km radius were mapped,and the local diffusion processes were clarified.CO_(2) patterns varied differently in two industrial parks over the three-month period:Average CO_(2) concentrations in non-emission areas were 422.4 ppm in Pucheng and 408.7 ppm in Nanping,with the former experiencing higher and more variable carbon emissions;Correlation analysis indicated that synthetic leather factories in Pucheng contributed more to SO_(2) and NO_(x) levels compared to the chemical plant in Nanping;In Pucheng,CO_(2) concentrations were transported from the north at ground-level wind speeds exceeding 4 m/s,while in Nanping,the concentrations dispersed gradually with increasing wind speeds;Forward trajectory simulations revealed that the peak-emission from Pucheng primarily affected southern Fujian,northeastern Jiangxi,and southern Anhui,while the peak-emission from Nanping influenced central and western Fujian and northeastern Jiangxi.Besides,emissions in both industrial parks were higher on weekdays and lower on weekends,reflecting changes in industrial activi-ties.The study underscores the potential of lidar technology for providing detailed insights into CO_(2) distribution and the interactions between emissions,wind patterns,and carbon transport.

文摘To achieve low-carbon regulation of electric vehicle(EV)charging loads under the“dual carbon”goals,this paper proposes a coordinated scheduling strategy that integrates dynamic carbon factor prediction and multiobjective optimization.First,a dual-convolution enhanced improved Crossformer prediction model is constructed,which employs parallel 1×1 global and 3×3 local convolutionmodules(Integrated Convolution Block,ICB)formultiscale feature extraction,combinedwith anAdaptive Spectral Block(ASB)to enhance time-series fluctuationmodeling.Based on high-precision predictions,a carbon-electricity cost joint optimization model is further designed to balance economic,environmental,and grid-friendly objectives.The model’s superiority was validated through a case study using real-world data from a renewable-heavy grid.Simulation results show that the proposed multi-objective strategy demonstrated a superior balance compared to baseline and benchmark models,achieving a 15.8%reduction in carbon emissions and a 5.2%reduction in economic costs,while still providing a substantial 22.2%reduction in the peak-valley difference.Its balanced performance significantly outperformed both a single-objective strategy and a state-of-the-art Model Predictive Control(MPC)benchmark,highlighting the advantage of a global optimization approach.This study provides theoretical and technical pathways for dynamic carbon factor-driven EV charging optimization.
