文摘Comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum(PG)has attracted much attention,especially for the recovery of rare earth elements(REEs)and gypsum due to the issues of stockpile,environmental pollution,and waste of associated resources.Traditional utilization methods suffered the issues of low REEs leaching efficiency,huge amount of CaSO_(4)saturated wastewater and high recovery cost.To solve these issues,this study investigated the occurrence of REEs in PG and the leaching of REEs.The results show that REEs in PG are in the forms of(1)REEs mineral inclusions,(2)REEs isomorphous substitution of Ca^(2+)in gypsum lattice,(3)dispersed soluble REEs salts.Acid leaching results demonstrate that(1)the dissolution of gypsum matrix is the control factor of REEs leaching;(2)H_(2)SO_(4)is a promising leachant considering the recycle of leachate;(3)the gypsum matrix suffers a recrystallization during the acid leaching and releases the soluble REEs from PG to aqueous solution.For the recovery of the undissolved REEs mineral inclusions,wet sieving concentrated 37.1 wt%of the REEs in a 10.7 wt%mass,increasing REEs content from 309 to 1071 ppm.Finally,a green process combining gravity separation and hydrometallurgy is proposed.This process owns the merits of wastewater free,considerable REEs recovery(about 10%increase compared with traditional processes),excellent gypsum purification(>95 wt%CaSO_(4)·2H_(2)O,with<0.06 wt%of soluble P_(2)O_(5) and<0.015 wt%of soluble F)and reagent saving(about 2/3less reagent consumption than non-cyclical leaching).

文摘The research,fabrication and development of piezoelectric nanofibrous materials offer effective solutions to the challenges related to energy consumption and non-renewable resources.However,enhancing their electrical output still remains a significant challenge.Here,a strategy of inducing constrained phase separation on single nanofibers via shear force was proposed.Employing electrospinning technology,a polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylidene difluoride(PAN/PVDF)nanofibrous membrane was fabricated in one step,which enabled simultaneous piezoelectric and triboelectric conversion within a single-layer membrane.Each nanofiber contained independent components of PAN and PVDF and exhibited a rough surface.The abundant frictional contact points formed between these heterogeneous components contributed to an enhanced endogenous triboelectric output,showcasing an excellent synergistic effect of piezoelectric and triboelectric response in the nanofibrous membrane.Additionally,the component mass ratio influenced the microstructure,piezoelectric conformation and piezoelectric performance of the PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes.Through comprehensive performance comparison,the optimal mass ratio of PAN to PVDF was determined to be 9∶1.The piezoelectric devices made of the optimal PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes with rough nanofiber surfaces generated an output voltage of 20 V,which was about 1.8 times that of the smooth one at the same component mass ratio.The strategy of constrained phase separation on the surface of individual nanofibers provides a new approach to enhance the output performance of single-layer piezoelectric nanofibrous materials.

文摘Separating oil/water mixtures via superhydrophobic stainless steel mesh(SSM)is a kind of efficient methods of treating oily wastewater,and the superhydrophobic SSM with a low cost,simple fabrication process and robust usability remains a challenge.Herein,urushiol-based benzoxazine(U-D)with a strong substrate adhesion and low surface free energy was used to anchor SiO_(2) particles on the SSM surface to obtain a durable superhydrophobic SSM(PU-D/SiO_(2)/SSM)through a simple dip-coating process,meanwhile,epoxy resin was also introduced to further improve the adhesion between coating and SSM.PU-D/SiO_(2)/SSM could successfully separate various immiscible oil-water mixtures with a separation efficiency of over 96%and a flux up to 27100 L/m^(2) h only by gravity,respectively.Especially,the modified SSM could effectively remove water from water-in-oil emulsion with a separation efficiency of 99.7%.Moreover,PU-D/SiO_(2)/SSM had an outstanding reusability,whose water contact angle and separation efficiency only slightly decreased after 20 cycles of separating oil/water mixture.In addition,the modified SSM also displayed a satisfactory abrasion resistance,chemical stability and self-cleaning property.Thereby,the robust PU-D/SiO_(2)/SSM prepared by cheap raw materials and facile dip-coating method exhibits a high potential for separating oil/water mixtures.

文摘We report a robust pillar-layered metal-organic framework,Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco(tfbdc:tetrafluoroterephthal-ate,dabco:1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane),featuring the fluorinated pore environment,for the preferential binding of propane over propylene and thus highly inverse selective separation of propane/propylene mixture.The inverse propane-selective performance of Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco for the propane/propylene separation was validated by single-component gas adsorption isotherms,isosteric enthalpy of adsorption calculations,ideal adsorbed solution theory calculations,along with the breakthrough experiment.The customized fluorinated networks served as a propane-trap to form more interactions with the exposed hydrogen atoms of propane,as unveiled by the simulation studies at the molecular level.With the advantage of inverse propane-selective adsorption behavior,high adsorption capacity,good cycling stability,and low isosteric enthalpy of adsorption,Zn‑tfbdc‑dabco can be a promising candidate adsorbent for the challenging propane/propylene separation to realize one-step purification of the target propylene substance.

文摘Removing H_(2)S and CO_(2)is of great significance for natural gas purification.With excellent gas affinity and tunable structure,ionic liquids(ILs) have been regarded as nontrivial candidates for fabricating polymer-based membranes.Herein,we firstly reported the incorporation of protic ILs (PILs) having ether-rich and carboxylate sites (ECPILs) into poly(ether-block-amide)(Pebax) matrix for efficient separation H_(2)S and CO_(2)from CH_(4).Notably,the optimal permeability of H_(2)S reaches up to 4310 Barrer (40C,0.50 bar) in Pebax/ECPIL membranes,along with H_(2)S/CH_(4)and (H_(2)StCO_(2))/CH_(4)selectivity of 97.7 and 112.3,respectively.These values are increased by 1125%,160.8%and 145.9%compared to those in neat Pebax membrane.Additionally,the solubility and diffusion coefficients of the gases were measured,demonstrating that ECPIL can simultaneously strengthen the dissolution and diffusion of H_(2)S and CO_(2),thus elevating the permeability and permselectivity.By using quantum chemical calculations and FT-IR spectroscopy,the highly reversible multi-site hydrogen bonding interaction between ECPILs and H_(2)S was revealed,which is responsible for the fast permeation of H_(2)S and good selectivity.Furthermore,H_(2)S/CO_(2)/CH_(4)(3/3/94 mol/mol) ternary mixed gas can be efficiently and stably separated by Pebax/ECPIL membrane for at least 100 h.Overall,this work not only illustrates that PILs with ether-rich and carboxylate hydrogen bonding sites are outstanding materials for simultaneous removal of H_(2)S and CO_(2),but may also provide a novel insight into the design of membrane materials for natural gas upgrading.

文摘Mixed matrix membranes(MMMs)have demonstrated significant promise in energy-intensive gas separations by amalgamating the unique properties of fillers with the facile processability of polymers.However,achieving a simultaneous enhancement of permeability and selectivity remains a formidable challenge,due to the difficulty of achieving an optimal match between polymers and fillers.In this study,we incorporate a porous carbon-based zinc oxide composite(C@ZnO)into high-permeability polymers of intrinsic microporosity(PIMs)to fabricate MMMs.The dipole–dipole interaction between C@ZnO and PIMs ensures their exceptional compatibility,mitigating the formation of non-selective voids in the resulting MMMs.Concurrently,C@ZnO with abundant interconnected pores can provide additional low-resistance pathways for gas transport in MMMs.As a result,the CO_(2) permeability of the optimized C@ZnO/PIM-1 MMMs is elevated to 13,215 barrer,while the CO_(2)/N_(2) and CO_(2)/CH_(4) selectivity reached 21.5 and 14.4,respectively,substantially surpassing the 2008 Robeson upper bound.Additionally,molecular simulation results further corroborate that the augmented membrane gas selectivity is attributed to the superior CO_(2) affinity of C@ZnO.In summary,we believe that this work not only expands the application of MMMs for gas separation but also heralds a paradigm shift in the application of porous carbon materials.

文摘The presence of chirality,a fundamental attribute found in nature,is of great significance in the field of pharmaceutical science.Chiral drugs are unique in that their molecular structure is non-superimposable on its mirror image.This stereoisomerism significantly impacts the functionality,metabolic pathway,effectiveness,and safety of chiral medications.The enantiomers of chiral drugs can exhibit diverse pharmacological effects in the human body.As a result,it is essential to separate and purify chiral drugs effectively.Despite the abundance of reports on chiral drug separation membranes,there is a dearth of comprehensive reviews.This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a thorough review from a materials perspective,with a focus on the design and construction of chiral drug separation membranes.Furthermore,it systematically analyzes the separation mechanisms employed by these membranes.The paper also delves into the challenges and prospects related to chiral drug separation membranes,with the intention of imparting valuable insights for further research and development in this field.

文摘The limitations of swirl separation in removing microfine oil droplets in water have driven the development of hydrocyclone technology coupled with multiphase or multifield techniques.To enhance microfine oil droplets separation,a novel hydrocyclone separation coupled with fiber coalescence(HCCFC) was designed.The interaction between fiber balls and oil droplets inside the hydrocyclone,including droplet coalescence and breakage,was investigated.The influence of different operating parameters on separation efficiency was discussed.The results showed that fiber balls promoted oil droplet coalescence when the inlet droplet size(D_(43)) was below 22.37 μm but caused droplet breakage above this threshold.The coalescence performance of HCCFC improved with increasing inlet oil content but declined beyond 450 mg·L^(-1).Separation experiments confirmed that HCCFC outperformed conventional hydrocyclone,with separation efficiency increasing by 2.9% to 20.0%.As the fiber ball content and inlet flow rate increased,the separation efficiency showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.Additionally,HCCFC's separation efficiency varied with inlet oil droplet size distribution,showing the most significant enhancement when D_(43) was 22.37 μm,where separation efficiency increased by 14.4%.These findings offer insights into the development and application of multiphase coupled with hydrocyclone technology.

文摘The huge impact kinetic energy cannot be quickly dissipated by the energy-absorbing structure and transferred to the other vehicle through the car body structure,which will cause structural damage and threaten the lives of the occupants.Therefore,it is necessary to understand the laws of energy conversion,dissipation and transfer during train collisions.This study proposes a multi-layer progressive analysis method of energy flow during train collisions,considering the characteristics of the train.In this method,the train collision system is divided into conversion,dissipation,and transfer layers from the perspective of the train,collision interface,and car body structure to analyze the energy conversion,dissipation and transfer characteristics.Taking the collision process of a rail train as an example,a train collision energy transfer path analysis model was established based on power flow theory.The results show that when the maximum mean acceleration of the vehicle meets the standard requirements,the jerk may exceed the allowable limit of the human body,and there is a risk of injury to the occupants of a secondary collision.The decay rate of the collision energy along the direction of train operation reaches 79%.As the collision progresses,the collision energy gradually converges in the structure with holes,and the structure deforms when the gathered energy is greater than the maximum energy the structure can withstand.The proposed method helps to understand the train collision energy flow law and provides theoretical support for the train crashworthiness design in the future.

文摘Partitioning of actinides from lanthanides is pivotal for advancing nuclear waste management and sustaining nuclear energy development,yet it remains a formidable challenge due to the intricate chemical behaviors of these f-block elements.In this study,we introduce 3,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine(L1),whose hydrolysis product of pyridine-2-carbox-aldehyde(pyridine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazone(L2)can fractionally crystallize U(Ⅵ)ions over Ln(Ⅲ)cations with high selectivity and efficiency.Through hydrolysis-induced C–N bond cleavage,L2 acts as a tetradentate ligand,coordinating with two UO_(2)^(2+) ions in a planar arrangement to form a zerodimensional cluster,[(UO_(2))2(μ_(3)-O)(L2)(CH_(3)COO)]·DMF(U-L2),while lanthanide ions(Ln=La,Pr,Nd,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Yb,and Lu)remain in solution due to their inability to achieve similar coordination.This selective crystallization strategy yields exceptional separation factors(SFs)between U(Ⅵ)and Ln(Ⅲ),with a value of 756276 between U(Ⅵ)and Sm(Ⅲ),the highest reported to date.Furthermore,this fractional crystallization separation process can be achieved under mild ambient conditions with high SFs,enabling the development of a rapid,safe and energy-efficient strategy for once-through separation of high oxidation state actinides from lanthanides.

文摘The growing incidence of cyberattacks necessitates a robust and effective Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)for enhanced network security.While conventional IDSs can be unsuitable for detecting different and emerging attacks,there is a demand for better techniques to improve detection reliability.This study introduces a new method,the Deep Adaptive Multi-Layer Attention Network(DAMLAN),to boost the result of intrusion detection on network data.Due to its multi-scale attention mechanisms and graph features,DAMLAN aims to address both known and unknown intrusions.The real-world NSL-KDD dataset,a popular choice among IDS researchers,is used to assess the proposed model.There are 67,343 normal samples and 58,630 intrusion attacks in the training set,12,833 normal samples,and 9711 intrusion attacks in the test set.Thus,the proposed DAMLAN method is more effective than the standard models due to the consideration of patterns by the attention layers.The experimental performance of the proposed model demonstrates that it achieves 99.26%training accuracy and 90.68%testing accuracy,with precision reaching 98.54%on the training set and 96.64%on the testing set.The recall and F1 scores again support the model with training set values of 99.90%and 99.21%and testing set values of 86.65%and 91.37%.These results provide a strong basis for the claims made regarding the model’s potential to identify intrusion attacks and affirm its relatively strong overall performance,irrespective of type.Future work would employ more attempts to extend the scalability and applicability of DAMLAN for real-time use in intrusion detection systems.
文摘The crisis of excessive increase in CO_(2)emissions has quickly become a serious issue and requires low-cost and bio-compatible solutions.The employee of membrane technology for CO_(2)gas separation has garnered significant interest among researchers.However,this method encounters challenges related to selectivity and permeability.Therefore,modifying and reinforcing the polymer membranes to improve gas separation performance seems essential.Among the various methods for polymer membrane modification,modification with magnesium-based fillers to prepare a mixed matrix membrane(MMM)is considered an efficient method.Owing to magnesium metal's low weight,low density,high strength,and good selectivity,magnesium-based materials(Mg-based materials)have more porosity,higher available surface area,more adsorption sites,lighter weight,and more gas absorption tendency than other fillers,which makes them an attractive choice for the preparation of gas separation MMMs.This research deals with the introduction of Mg-based materials,various methods of synthesis of Mg-based materials,different methods of introducing Mg-based materials into the membrane matrix,and their effect on the performance of MMMs in CO_(2)gas separation applications.Therefore,this review can provide researchers with light horizons in using the high potential of Mg-based materials as efficient fillers in MMMs to achieve excellent permeability and selectivity and generally improve their performance in CO_(2)gas separation applications.
文摘Metal-Organic Frameworks(MOFs)have emerged as promising materials for gas adsorption and separation due to their exceptional surface area,tunable porosity,and versatility in functionalization.This paper explores the mechanisms of gas adsorption in MOFs,including physical adsorption,chemisorption,and synergistic effects,which contribute to their efficiency in capturing and separating gases.The applications of MOFs in key areas such as carbon dioxide capture,hydrogen storage,natural gas separation,and air purification are discussed,highlighting their potential to address pressing environmental and energy challenges.Additionally,the use of MOFs in selective gas separation,membranes,and adsorption-based technologies like Pressure Swing Adsorption(PSA)and Vacuum Swing Adsorption(VSA)is explored,emphasizing their advantages over traditional materials.Despite challenges related to scalability,stability,and cost,MOFs hold great promise for advancing gas separation technologies in the near future,offering more efficient,sustainable,and environmentally friendly solutions.

文摘Pyridine(Py) and 3-methylpyridine(3-MP) are crucial intermediates in chemical industrial processes.Here,we provide a simple and energy-efficient approach for the isolation of Py and 3-MP by employing crystalline cucurbit[6]uril(Q[6]).The crystal exhibit high selectivity for Py from the mixture of Py and 3-MP in both vapor and liquid phases,with separation purities close to 100%.The selectivity is attributed to the varying stability of the host-vip complexes after the absorption of Py or 3-MP,as revealed by the single-crystal structure analysis.ITC experimental results and DFT calculations indicate that,compared to3-MP,Q[6] has a higher binding strength and lower binding energy with Py.In addition,pyridine can be removed from the Q[6] cavity through vacuum heating or organic solvent immersion,enabling Q[6]reuse via reversible vip loading.This method offers a promising approach for high-purity Py and 3-MP separation with significant economic and environmental benefits.
