Meanwhile the relation between optimal nitrate concentration （Nopt） and influent C/N ratio was evaluated, in which the influont chemical oxygen demand （COD） concentration was stabilized at （2905：10）mg/L, the influent total phosphorus （TP） concentration was stabilized at （7.0±0. 5）mg/L. The results indicated that： （1） the nitrate concentration in the main anoxic zone had an effect on denitrifying dephosphatation capability, and the average percentages of anoxic phosphorus uptake in total phosphorus uptake （ηa） increased with nitrate cancentration increasing, i.e., increasing from 62.1% at2.0 mg/L to63.7%, 65.6%, 68.1%, and 72.3% at 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8mg/L, respectively; （2） the Nopt as function of influent C/N ratio could be calculated by the equation： y = 0.67x^2-7.79x ＋ 22. 21; the maximum percentages of anoxic phosphorus uptake in total phosphorus uptake （ηa,max） as function of the Nopt could be calculated by the equation： y=0.77-0.33e^-（x/1.52）. The Nopt was the important control parameter that must be optimized for operation of conveational biological nutrieat removal activated sludge （BNRAS） system.展开更多

Herein, the molybdenum carbide nanoparticles supported on the polyhedral N-doped carbon nanotube skeleton(Mo C/NCT) composite has been synthesized by a pyrolysis of polyacid organo-metallic phosphate framework precursor. Then, only 2.15 wt% Pt are loaded on the Mo C/NCT to form Pt-Mo C/NCT catalyst, which performs superior HER activity and stability in entire p H range. Specially, the overpotentials of 22 and 74 m V are respectively attained at 10 m A/cm^(2) in1.0 mol/L KOH and 0.5 mol/L H_(2)SO_(4) electrolytes, approaching or even exceeding commercial Pt/C. More importantly, it can be used as excellent catalyst for efficient hydrogen production at 0–14 p H range. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations demonstrate that the interaction between Mo C and Pt leads to the electron redistribution at the corresponding interfaces and the downward shift of the d-band centers, thus optimizing H*adsorption and desorption for promoting the HER activity. Besides, the unique three-dimensional network structure is conductive to the transmission of mass and electrons. In the application of both alkaline and acidic electrolysers, only 1.52 V voltage of solar panel can drive a hydrogen production current density of 10 m A/cm^(2).展开更多

文摘Excessive phosphorus and arsenic in water bodies not only destroy ecosystems but also pose a serious threat to human health.In this study,a series of Al-doped modified metal-organic frameworks(Zr-Al-MOF)were prepared by solvothermal method,which achieved efficient removal of phosphate and arsenate in water.Due to the use of inexpensive Al salts,the material has a lower cost and is more economical.The molar ratio of metal salts,adsorption time,solution pH,initial concentration,temperature and coexisting anions were studied,and it was found that when the molar ratio of Zr:Al was 2,Zr-Al-MOF had the best adsorption performance for phosphate and arsenate,and the maximum adsorption capacity was 93.04 mg P/g and 173.83 mg As/g,respectively.It traps phosphate and arsenate at a fast reaction rate and can be recycled repeatedly.In addition,0.15 g/L of 2Zr-Al-MOF can effectively reduce the phosphate and arsenate content in the contaminated spring water samples of Yangzonghai Lake to the standard range of drinking water,which further confirms the application potential of 2Zr-Al-MOF.By FT-IR and XPS analysis,it was found that the adsorption mechanism was ligand exchange,electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond formation.The theoretical calculation shows that the adsorption energy is negative,which indicates that 2Zr-Al-MOF is attractive to phosphate and arsenate,and the adsorption state is stable.The results show that 2Zr-Al-MOF is an effective phosphate and arsenate adsorbent and has broad application prospects in eutrophication water treatment.

文摘While nuclear energy represents a low-carbon and high-efficiency energy source that plays a vital role in the global energy mix,the limitations of spent fuel reprocessing technology pose a major challenge to its sustainable development.The PUREX(plutonium uranium redox extraction)process is currently the dominant nuclear fuel reprocessing technology in the world.However,the key extractant in this process is tributyl phosphate(TBP),which degrades under intense radiation,high temperatures,and strong acidity.This leads to the production of dibutyl phosphate,monobutyl phosphate,and other degradation byproducts,which may reduce the extraction efficiency and trigger third-phase formation and equipment corrosion.This paper systematically reviews the degradation mechanisms of TBP and its diluents,the analytical technique suitable for characterizing degradation products,and the impact of degradation products on the post-treatment process.Additionally,optimization strategies employed for suppressing third-phase formation are discussed.This study offers a theoretical foundation and technical insights in optimizing the PUREX process and ensuring the safe operation of the post-treatment process.
文摘For India to achieve elimination by 2030,the challenges posed by Plasmodium(P.)vivax cannot be overlooked owing to its burden and unique biology.In 2023,in India,about 224000 malaria cases were reported,and a significant proportion(40%)were P.vivax cases.In P.vivax infection,the persistence of dormant liver stage of parasite,i.e.,hypnozoites,leading to relapses weeks or months later poses challenge in its elimination.

文摘Waterborne acrylic coatings are widely utilized due to their cost-effectiveness,high transparency,strong resistance to weather and chemicals,impressive mechanical properties,and excellent adhesion to various substrates.In these coatings,a reactive emulsifier containing phosphate groups can be integrated into the molecular chain during polymerization,which enhances the coating's compactness and corrosion resistance.This work focuses on the synthesis of styrene-butyl acrylate(St-BA)latex and methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate(MMA-BA)latex using the reactive phosphate emulsifier ANPEO_(10)-P_(1) through seed emulsion polymerization,achieving a conversion rate of approximately 99%and a solid content close to 50%.The resulting coatings from St-BA and MMA-BA latexes demonstrated long-term corrosion protection for carbon steel and aluminum alloy due to in-situ phosphatization,effectively preventing flash rust.Notably,the MMA-BA coating exhibited remarkable durability,enduring immersion for up to 1224 h(51 d)on Q 235 carbon steel before reaching the failure threshold(|Z|0.01 Hz£106Ω·cm^(2))on Q 235 carbon steel.On 5052 aluminum alloy,the St-BA coating maintained|Z|0.01 Hz>10^(8)Ω·cm^(2) for 480 h(20 d).Furthermore,the corrosion resistance of St-BA and MMA BA coatings on Q 235 steel sheet and 5052 aluminum alloy surpassed that of commercially available MMA-BA and St BA coatings after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl aqueous solution.This work also delves into the anticorrosion mechanism of MMA-BA and St-BA coatings.

文摘The soaring demand for smart portable electronics and electric vehicles is propelling the advancements in high-energy–density lithium-ion batteries.Lithium manganese iron phosphate(LiMn_(x)Fe_(1-x)PO_(4))has garnered significant attention as a promising positive electrode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its advantages of low cost,high safety,long cycle life,high voltage,good high-temperature performance,and high energy density.Although LiMn_(x)Fe_(1-x)PO_(4)has made significant breakthroughs in the past few decades,there are still facing great challenges in poor electronic conductivity and Li-ion diffusion,manganese dissolution affecting battery cycling performance,as well as low tap density.This review systematically summarizes the reaction mechanisms,various synthesis methods,and electrochemical properties of LiMn_(x)Fe_(1-x)PO_(4)to analyze reaction processes accurately and guide material preparation.Later,the main challenges currently faced are concluded,and the corresponding various modification strategies are discussed to enhance the reaction kinetics and electrochemical performance of LiMn_(x)Fe_(1-x)PO_(4),including multi-scale particle regulation,heteroatom doping,surface coating,as well as microscopic morphology design.Finally,in view of the current research challenges faced by intrinsic reaction processes,kinetics,and energy storage applications,the promising research directions are anticipated.More importantly,it is expected to provide key insights into the development of high-performance and stable LiMn_(x)Fe_(1-x)PO_(4)materials,to achieve practical energy storage requirements.

文摘Guided bone regeneration in the alveolar bone relies on the colonization and differentiation of immune cells within the defect area.The absence of osteoinductive and osteoimmune properties of currently available scaffolds hinders to achieve optimal repair outcomes in clinical settings.Thus,we aimed to enhance the bone repair ability of polycaprolactone(PCL)scaffolds by incorporating osteoinductive amorphous calcium phosphate(ACP)with immune-regulating zinc ions(ACP(Zn),ACZP),to create a favorable immunomodulatory microenvironment.After one day of co-culture with PCL-ACZP,the spreading area of macrophage cells was significantly higher than that from the original PCL scaffold.Additionally,over 32.1%of macrophages exhibited M2 polarization within three days of co-culture.The PCLACZP/macrophage-conditioned medium significantly boosted osteogenic gene expression in MC3T3-E1 cells.After eight weeks of implantation in a rat femoral condyle defect,the BV/TV from the PCL-ACZP group reached 32.9%,1.4 times of that from the PCL group.Furthermore,the PCL-ACZP-GelMA biphasic module as prepared successfully achieved complete regeneration of three-walled alveolar bone defects in rabbits,resulting in arch-shaped alveolar bone repair and providing greater convenience in the clinical settings.This study showcased the effectiveness of PCL-ACZP-GelMA biphasic module as bioactive scaffolds in the morphological restoration of alveolar bone.

文摘The efficient recycling of spent lithium iron phosphate(LiFePO_(4),also referred to as LFP)should convert Fe(Ⅱ)to Fe(Ⅲ),which is key to the extraction of Li and separation of Fe and is not well understood.Herein,we systematically study the oxidation of LiFePO_(4)in the air and in the solution containing oxidants such as H_(2)O_(2)and the effect of oxidation on the leaching behaviors of LFP.In the air,O_(2)breaks down the LFP olivine structure at 550℃for 1 h by oxidizing Fe(Ⅱ)to Fe(Ⅲ)in terms of converting LFP to Li_(3)Fe_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)and Fe_(2)O_(3).After that,Li is leached in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution and is further recycled as Li_(3)PO_(4)with a Li recovery efficiency of 97.48%.Meanwhile,Fe is recovered as FePO_(4)and Fe_(2)O_(3).Compared with H_(2)SO_(4)-H_(2)O_(2),the air oxidation saves H_(2)O_(2)but increases the leaching efficiency of Fe and H_(2)SO_(4)consumption.The discrepancy of Fe leaching efficiency can be attributed to the different leaching mechanisms involving the solid-to-solid and solid-to-liquid-to-solid conversions.Furthermore,the results of the Everbatt model analysis show that the air roasting-H_(2)SO_(4)leaching method has low emission and potentially high income,which is simple and safe.Overall,this work will deepen the understanding of acid leaching of LFP and favorably stimulate the maturation of the LFP recycling technique.

文摘With the boom in electric vehicles(EVs),there is an increasing demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.Lithium manganese iron phosphate(LMFP)has emerged as an enhanced variation of LiFePO4(LFP),offering an energy density 10%–20%greater than that of LFP.Structural distortion caused by the Jahn–Teller effect decreases the capacity and voltage platform,thus restricting the commercialization of this material.Herein,ideas to overcome these challenges,including the crystal structure of LMFP and strategies to mitigate the Jahn–Teller distortion,are first explored.Then,the migration pathways of Li+during charging and discharging and the phase transition mechanisms that affect the material’s performance are discussed.Next,the optimal Mn:Fe ratio for achieving the desired performance is described.The influences of various synthesis and modification methods on the morphology and structure of LMFP are reviewed.Additionally,different modification techniques,such as doping and coating,to enhance the performance of LMFP are highlighted.Finally,an overview of the current state of research on the recycling and reuse of LMFP is provided.By addressing these key topics,this paper offers a theoretical foundation for the further development of LMFP,thus contributing to its eventual commercialization.

文摘In this study,a phosphate-based conversion coating(PCC)was applied as a precursor before forming silicate-fluoride(SiF)and silicate-phosphate-fluoride(SiPF)based flash-plasma electrolytic oxidation(Flash-PEO)coatings on AZ31B magnesium alloy.The main novelty is the successful incorporation of calcium,zinc,manganese and phosphate species into the Flash-PEO coatings via a precursor layer rather than using the electrolyte.The precursor also led to longer lasting and more intense discharges during the PEO process,resulting in increased pore size.Corrosion studies revealed similar short-term performance for all coatings,with impedance modulus at low frequencies above 10^(7)Ωcm^(2),and slightly better performance for the SiPF-based coating.Nonetheless,the enlarged pores in the PEO coatings functionalized with the PCC precursor compromised the effectiveness of self-healing mechanisms by creating diffusion pathways for corrosive species,leading to earlier failure.These phenomena were effectively monitored by recording the open circuit potential during immersion in 0.5 wt.%NaCl solution.In summary,this study demonstrates that conversion coatings are a viable option for the functionalization of PEO coatings on magnesium alloys,as they allow for the incorporation of cationic and other species.However,it is crucial to maintain a small pore size to facilitate effective blockage through self-healing mechanisms.

文摘In this study,synthetic wastewater containing 110μg/L arsenate(As(V)),0-20 mg/L fulvic acid(FA),and 0-12.3 mg/L phosphate was treated with 3 mg/L Fe3+.The mechanisms of FA and phosphate effects on As(V)removal by ferric chloride were determined using 0.22-10μm pore-size filtration,Zetasizer analysis,and in situ flow through cell ATR-FTIR.The results showed that up to 20mg/L FA had almost no effect on the solubility of ferric hydroxide precipitates and adsorption of As(V)by the precipitates.When FA concentration increased from 0 to 20 mg/L,the adsorption of FA led to higher negative zeta potential of the precipitates and the strong electrostatic repulsion between the precipitates decreased the particle size of ferric hydroxide flocs fromlarger than 10μmto smaller than 1μm.In the presence of 5-20 mg/L FA,46%-63%As(V)was adsorbed onto the flocs with particle size in the range of 0.45-1μm.On the other hand,phosphate did not affect the size of ferric hydroxide flocs and significantly increased the dissolved As(V)concentration because it competed with As(V)for adsorption sites on ferric hydroxide precipitates.The addition of 5mg/L cationic organic flocculant significantly reduced the effect of FA on As(V)removal,but did not reduce the effect of phosphate on As(V)removal.The findings of this study will help develop effective arsenic treatment techniques and predict the mobility of arsenic in the environment.

文摘The green energy transition relies heavily on critical metals,such as rare earth elements(REEs).However,their reserves are primarily focused in a few countries,such as China,which accounts for approximately 70%of global production.Hence,several countries are currently looking for alternative resources for REEs.Alternative REE resources in the supply chain include recycling of e-waste,industrial waste like red mud and phosphogypsum,coal ash,mine tailings,ocean floor sediments,and even certain types of sedimentary deposits like phosphorites where REEs are present in lower concentrations but at larger volumes compared to primary ore deposits which are becoming targets by REEs industry.Currently,several studies are going on the development of eco-friendly REEs extraction technologies from phosphorite deposits.Consequently,advanced data analysis tools,such as Machine Learning(ML),are becoming increasingly important in mineral prospectivity and are rapidly gaining traction in the earth sciences.Phosphorite deposits are mainly used to manufacture fertilizers as these rocks are known for their significant phosphorus content.Moreover,these formations are considered a prospective resource of REEs.The different types of phosphorite deposits such as continental,seamount,and ore deposits worldwide reported concentrations of∑REE upto 18,000µg/g.Due to the augmented claim of REEs for various ultra-modern,and green technology applications that are required to switch over to a carbon-neutral environment,these phosphorite deposits have become an important target mostly because of their relatively higher content of REEs especially heavy rare earth elements(HREE).For example,Mississippian phosphorites reported ∑ HREE 7,000µg/g.To have a comprehensive understanding of the REEs potential of these phosphorite deposits which also include several Chinese phosphorite deposits,this study is undertaken to review the phosphorite deposits in the world and their REEs potential,in addition to some of the associated aspects such as applications and formation mechanisms for different types of phosphorite deposits such as igneous phosphate deposits,sedimentary phosphorite deposits,marine phosphorite deposits,cave phosphate deposits,and insular guano deposits.Other important aspects include their occurrences,types,geochemical characteristics,the REEs enrichment mechanisms,and various recovery methods adopted to recover REEs from different phosphorite deposits.The present review paper concludes that the recent studies highlight the global potential of phosphorite deposits to satisfy the increasing demand for REEs.Extracting REEs from phosphorite presents no significant technological or environmental difficulties,as long as radioactive elements are eliminated.In India,more comprehensive geological surveys,along with the advancement of new methods and evaluations,are required to locate phosphorite deposits with high concentrations of REEs.

文摘Whilst phosphorus(P)in soil is considered to be abundant,the portion available for plant uptake constitutes less than 1%of the overall P present.To enhance crop productivity,the utilization of mineral P fertilizers has become pervasive in agriculture.Nonetheless,the escalating prices of chemical fertilizers,coupled with new European regulations prohibiting the use of P fertilizers containing cadmium,have highlighted the urgency to identify environmentally friendly products and practices for P fertilization in agricultural soils.This comprehensive review delves into the current landscape of P fertilization from agricultural,political,and economic standpoints.We recognize the potential of microbes in mobilizing P,but emphasize the necessity for more robust research to establish their effectiveness in promoting plant P uptake under real-world conditions.Additionally,we explore the role of agricultural conservation practices,such as optimal tillage,diversified cropping systems,and increased organic carbon input,in conserving P.Furthermore,this review contemplates forthcoming innovations in research.These innovations encompass the development of enhanced formulations for biofertilizers and the undertaking of more comprehensive studies within the realm of conservation agriculture.All these endeavors collectively hold the potential to augment P accessibility to plants in a sustainable manner,thereby advancing agricultural sustainability and productivity.

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.

文摘Pure Mg boasting a relatively small corrosion rate is a potential biodegradable metal material for implants.However,its degradation behavior in the complex physiological environment is still a lack of understanding.In this work,we investigated the effect of corrosion product film layers on the degradation behavior of pure Mg in physiological environments.Pure Mg shows a faster corrosion rate in simulated body fluid(SBF)compared to NaCl solution.Hydrogen evolution experiments indicate that the degradation rate of pure Mg in SBF decreases rapidly within the first 12 h but stabilizes afterward.The rapid deposition of low-solubility calcium phosphate on the pure Mg in SBF provides protection to the substrate,resulting in a gradual decrease in the degradation rates.Consequently,the corrosion product film of pure Mg formed in SBF exhibits a layered structure,with the upper layer consisting of dense Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)/Mg_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) and the lower layer consisting of Mg(OH)_(2)/MgO.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)shows that the resistance of the corrosion product film increases over time,indicating gradual strengthening of the corrosion resistance.The 4-week degradation results in the femoral marrow cavity of mice are consistent with the result in SBF in vitro.

文摘Developing high-efficient and low-loading Pt based catalyst is significant for the electrocatalytic p Huniversal hydrogen evolution reaction(HER). Herein, the molybdenum carbide nanoparticles supported on the polyhedral N-doped carbon nanotube skeleton(Mo C/NCT) composite has been synthesized by a pyrolysis of polyacid organo-metallic phosphate framework precursor. Then, only 2.15 wt% Pt are loaded on the Mo C/NCT to form Pt-Mo C/NCT catalyst, which performs superior HER activity and stability in entire p H range. Specially, the overpotentials of 22 and 74 m V are respectively attained at 10 m A/cm^(2) in1.0 mol/L KOH and 0.5 mol/L H_(2)SO_(4) electrolytes, approaching or even exceeding commercial Pt/C. More importantly, it can be used as excellent catalyst for efficient hydrogen production at 0–14 p H range. Density functional theory(DFT) calculations demonstrate that the interaction between Mo C and Pt leads to the electron redistribution at the corresponding interfaces and the downward shift of the d-band centers, thus optimizing H*adsorption and desorption for promoting the HER activity. Besides, the unique three-dimensional network structure is conductive to the transmission of mass and electrons. In the application of both alkaline and acidic electrolysers, only 1.52 V voltage of solar panel can drive a hydrogen production current density of 10 m A/cm^(2).

文摘Potassium hydroxide(KOH)was introduced into the molybdenite roasting process to convert molybdenum(Mo)and sulfur(S)into water-soluble potassium molybdate(K_(2)MoO_(4))and potassium sulfate(K_(2)SO_(4)).Roasting with a 1.8-fold excess of KOH at 400℃ for 3 h enabled the leaching of over 99%of Mo from the molybdenum calcine using water.A precipitation method involving potassium–magnesium(K-Mg)salts was proposed for impurity removal.Under the conditions of pH 11,30℃,excess coefficient of 1.7 for Mg salts,and a duration of 1 h,98.37%of phosphorus(P)was removed from the K_(2)MoO_(4) solution.With post-purification,over 99%of Mo crystallized upon adjustment of pH to 1.Subsequently,S and K were recovered as K_(2)SO_(4) fertilizer from the crystalline mother liquor.An environmentally sustainable approach was proposed to conduct molybdenite production and ensure the efficient recovery of both Mo and S.
