文摘Paired electrosynthesis has received considerable attention as a consequence of simultaneously synthesizing target products at both cathode and anode,whereas the related synthetic efficiency in batch reactors is still undesirable under certain circumstances.Encouragingly,laminar microfluidic reactor offers prospective options that possess controllable flow characteristics such as enhanced mass transport,precise laminar flow control and the ability to expand production scale progressively.In this comprehensive review,the underlying fundamentals of the paired electrosynthesis are initially summarized,followed by categorizing the paired electrosynthesis including parallel paired electrosynthesis,divergent paired electrosynthesis,convergent paired electrosynthesis,sequential paired electrosynthesis and linear paired electrosynthesis.Thereafter,a holistic overview of microfluidic reactor equipment,integral fundamentals and research methodology as well as channel extension and scale-up strategies is proposed.The established fundamentals and evaluated metrics further inspired the applications of microfluidic reactors in paired electrosynthesis.This work stimulated the overwhelming investigation of mechanism discovery,material screening strategies,and device assemblies.

文摘Quasi-solid-state composite electrolytes(QSCEs)show promise for high-performance solid-state batteries,while they still struggle with interfacial stability and cycling performance.Herein,a F-grafted QSCE(F-QSCE)was developed via copolymerizing the F monomers and ionic liquid monomers.The F-QSCE demonstrates better overall performance,such as high ionic conductivity of 1.21 mS cm^(-1)at 25℃,wide electrochemical windows of 5.20 V,and stable cycling stability for Li//Li symmetric cells over 4000 h.This is attributed to the significant electronegativity difference between C and F in the fluorinated chain(-CF_(2)-CF-CF_(3)),which causes the electron cloud to shift toward the F atom,surrounding it with a negative charge and producing the inductive effect.Furthermore,the interactions between Li^(+)and F,TFSI~-,and C are enhanced,reducing ion pair aggregation(Li^(+)-TFSI~--Li^(+))and promoting Li^(+)transport.Besides,-CF_(2)-CF-CF_(3)decomposes to form Li F preferentially over TFSI~-,resulting in better interfacial stability for F-QSCE.This work provides a pathway to enable the development of high-performance Li metal batteries.

文摘Low-temperature hydrogenation of silicon tetrachloride(STC)is an essential step in polysilicon production.The addition of CuCl to silicon powder is currently a commonly used catalytic method and the silicon powder acts as both a reactant and a catalyst.However,the reaction mechanism and the structure-activity relationship of this process have not been fully elucidated.In this work,a comprehensive study of the reaction mechanism in the presence of Si and Cu_(3)Si was carried out using density functional theory(DFT)combined with experiments,respectively.The results indicated that the ratedetermining step(RDS)in the presence of Si is the phase transition of Si atom,meanwhile,the RDS in the presence of Cu_(3)Si is the TCS-generation process.The activation barrier of the latter is smaller,highlighting that the interaction of Si with the bulk phase is the pivotal factor influencing the catalytic activity.The feasibility of transition metal doping to facilitate this step was further investigated.The Si disengage energy(E_(d))was used as a quantitative parameter to assess the catalytic activity of the catalysts,and the optimal descriptor was determined through interpretable machine learning.It was demonstrated that d-band center and electron transfer play a crucial role in regulating the level of Ed.This work reveals the mechanism and structure-activity relationship for the low-temperature hydrogenation reaction of STC,and provides a basis for the rational design of catalysts.

文摘In this study,a cleaner method for separation and recovery of V/W/Na in waste selective catalytic reduction(SCR)catalyst alkaline leaching solution was proposed.The method involved membrane electrolysis followed by ion morphology pretreatme nt and solvent extraction.An acidic V(Ⅴ)/W(Ⅵ)solution was obtained using the me mbrane electrolysis method without adding any other chemical reagents.In addition,Na was recovered in the form of NaOH by product,avoiding the generation of Na containing wastewater.The electrolysis parameters were investigated,the lowest power consumption of 3063 kW·h·t^(-1)NaOH was obtained at a current density of 125 A·m^(-2)and an initial NaOH concentration of 2 mol·L^(-1).After electrolysis,oxalic acid was added to the acidic V/W containing solution,converting V(Ⅴ)negative ion to V(Ⅳ)positive ion.Since W(Ⅵ)ion state remained in negative form,the generation of heteropolyacid ions(W_(x)V_(y)O_(z)^(n-))was prevented.It was found that under the condition of oxalic acid addition/theoretical consumption 1.2 and reaction temperature 75℃,100%V(Ⅴ)was co nverted to V(Ⅳ4).Using 10%N263+10%noctanol+80%sulfonated kerosene as extractant,the highest W(Ⅵ)/V(Ⅳ)separation coefficient of 7559.76was obtained at pH=1.8,O:A ratio=1:1 and extraction time 15 min.With 2 mol·L^(-1)NaOH as stripping reagent,the W stripping efficiency reached 98.50%at O:A ratio=2:1 after 4-stages of stripping.The enrichment of V remained in the solution was realized using P204 as extractant and 20%(mass)H_(2)SO_(4)as stripping reagent.The parameters of extraction/stripping process were investigated,using 10%P204+10%TBP+80%sulfonated kerosene as extractant,the V extraction efficiency reached 97.50%at O:A ratio=1:2after 4 stages of extraction.Using 20%H_(2)SO_(4)as the stripping reagent,the V stripping efficiency was 98.30%at an O:A ratio of 4:1 after five stage s of stripping.After the entire process,a high-purity VOSO_(4)and Na_(2)WO_(4)product solutions were obtained with V/W recovery efficiency 95.84%/98.50%,separately.This study examined a more effective and cleaner method for separating V/W/Na in Na_(2)WO_(4)/NaVO_(3)solution,which may serve as a reference for the separation and recovery of V/W/Na in waste SCR catalysts.

文摘Mercury(Hg)pollution has been a global concern in recent decades,posing a significant threat to entire ecosystems and human health due to its cumulative toxicity,persistence,and transport in the atmosphere.The intense interaction between mercury and selenium has opened up a new field for studying mercury removal from industrial flue gas pollutants.Besides the advantages of good Hg^(0) capture performance and lowsecondary pollution of the mineral selenium compounds,the most noteworthy is the relatively low regeneration temperature,allowing adsorbent regeneration with low energy consumption,thus reducing the utilization cost and enabling recovery of mercury resources.This paper reviews the recent progress of mineral selenium compounds in flue gas mercury removal,introduces in detail the different types ofmineral selenium compounds studied in the field ofmercury removal,reviews the adsorption performance of various mineral selenium compounds adsorbents on mercury and the influence of flue gas components,such as reaction temperature,air velocity,and other factors,and summarizes the adsorption mechanism of different fugitive forms of selenium species.Based on the current research progress,future studies should focus on the economic performance and the performance of different carriers and sizes of adsorbents for the removal of Hg^(0) and the correlation between the gas-particle flow characteristics and gas phase mass transfer with the performance of Hg^(0) removal in practical industrial applications.In addition,it remains a challenge to distinguish the oxidation and adsorption of Hg^(0) quantitatively.

文摘About 70%of the flue gas in the iron-steel industry has achieved multi-pollutant ultra-low emissions in China until 2023,and then the blast furnace gas purification has become the control step and bottleneck.Our research group has designed and constructed the world’s first blast furnace gas desulfurization pilot plant with the scale of 2000 Nm^(3)/h in October 2021.The pilot plant is a two-step combined desulfurization device including catalytic hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfur(COS)and absorption-oxidation of H_(2)S,continuously running for 120 days.In the hydrolysis system,one reason for catalyst deactivation has been verified from the sulfur deposition.HCN in blast furnace gas can be hydrolyzed on the hydrolysis catalyst to produce the nitrogen deposition,which is one of the reasons for catalyst deactivation and has never been found in previous studies.The deposition forms of S and N elements are determined,S element forms elemental sulfur and sulfate,while N element forms-NH_(2)and NH_(4)^(+).In the absorption-oxidation system,the O_(2)loading and the residence time have been optimized to control the oxidation of HS^(−)to produce elemental sulfur instead of by-product S_(2)O_(3)^(2−).The balance and distribution of S and N elements have been calculated for thewholemulti-phase system,approximately 84.4%of the sulfur is converted to solid sulfur product,about 1.3%of the sulfur and 19.2%of N element are deposited on the hydrolysis catalyst.The pilot plant provides technical support formulti-pollutant control of blast furnace.

文摘Antibiotics are crucial medications for preventing and treating bacterial infections.However,due to their inherent resistance to degradation,they are also a major component of water pollutants.Semiconductor photocatalysis is considered to be an important green technology for sewage treatment.In this study,BiVO_(4)/Cd S Z-type heterojunction was synthesized and applied in the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH).The Z-type heterojunction not only facilitates the separation of photogenerated charges,but also preserves photogenerated electrons with strong reduction capability and photogenerated holes with high oxidation capability.Following visible light irradiation for 90 min,the efficiency of BiVO_(4)/Cd S photocatalytic degradation of TCH reached 93.1%.Moreover,BiVO_(4)/Cd S demonstrates notable degradation efficacy toward other quinolone antibiotics.Free radical trapping experiments and EPR test results suggest that superoxide radicals,hydroxyl radicals,photogenerated electrons,and holes serve as the primary active species in the photocatalytic degradation process of tetracycline hydrochloride.This study offers valuable insights into the development of Z-type heterojunction photocatalysts for the efficient degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

文摘Sulfur trioxide(SO_(3))as a condensable particle matter has a significant influence on atmospheric visibility,which easily arouses formation of haze.It is imperative to control the SO_(3)emission from the industrial flue gas.Three commonly used basic absorbents,including Ca(OH)_(2),MgO and NaHCO_(3)were selected to explore the effects of temperature,SO_(2)concentration on the SO_(3)absorption,and the reaction mechanism of SO_(3)absorption was further illustrated.The suitable reaction temperature for various absorbents were proposed,Ca(OH)_(2)at the high temperatures above 500°C,MgO at the low temperatures below 320°C,and NaHCO_(3)at the temperature range of 320–500°C.The competitive absorption between SO_(2)and SO_(3)was found that the addition of SO_(2)reduced the SO_(3)absorption on Ca(OH)_(2)and NaHCO_(3),while had no effect on MgO.The order of the absorption selectivity of SO_(3)follows MgO,NaHCO_(3)and Ca(OH)_(2)under the given conditions in this work.The absorption process of SO_(3)on NaHCO_(3)follows the shrinking core model,thus the absorption reaction continues until NaHCO_(3)was exhausted with the utilization rate of nearly 100%.The absorption process of SO_(3)on Ca(OH)_(2)and MgO follows the grain model,and the dense product layer hinders the further absorption reaction,resulting in low utilization of about 50%for Ca(OH)_(2)and MgO.The research provides a favorable support for the selection of alkaline absorbent for SO_(3)removal in application.

文摘Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green solvents have attracted dramatic attention recently due to their highly tunable properties. However, traditional experimental screening methods are inefficient and resource-intensive. The article provides a comprehensive overview of various ML algorithms, including artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting trees (GBT), etc., which have demonstrated exceptional performance in handling complex and high-dimensional data. Furthermore, the integration of ML with quantum chemical calculations and conductor-like screening model-real solvent (COSMO-RS) has significantly enhanced predictive accuracy, enabling the rapid screening and design of novel solvents. Besides, recent ML applications in the prediction and design of ILs and DESs focused on solubility, melting point, electrical conductivity, and other physicochemical properties become more and more. This paper emphasizes the potential of ML in solvent design, overviewing an efficient approach to accelerate the development of sustainable and high-performance materials, providing guidance for their widespread application in a variety of industrial processes.

文摘The biphasic solvent is a promising solution to reduce regeneration energy consumption in CO_(2) capture.However,most current biphasic solvents suffer from high viscosity and poor desorption of the rich phase.To the issues,a novel pentamethyldiethylenetriamine(PMDETA)-2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol(AMP)/diethylenetriamine(DETA)-sulfolane biphasic solvent was developed.The mechanism of AMP affecting CO_(2) recycling capacity was analyzed.By adjusting the ratio of AMP and DETA,the absorption and desorption performance were balanced,and the recycling capacity and renewable energy consumption of the absorbent were improved.For the P_(2.4)A_(0.8)D_(0.8)S_(2) biphasic solvent,the CO_(2) loading of the rich phase was 5.87 mol/L,and the proportion of the rich phase volume ratio was 35%,which surpasses most reported biphasic solvents.The viscosity of the absorbent significantly decreased from 527.00 mPa·s to 92.26 mPa·s,attributed to the beneficial effect of AMP.Thermodynamic analysis showed that the biphasic solvent produced a lower regeneration energy consumption of 1.70 GJ/t CO_(2),which was 57%lower than that of monoethanolamine(MEA).Overall,the PMDETA-AMP/DETA-sulfolane biphasic solvent exhibited cycle capacity,which provided new insights for the designing of biphasic solvent.

文摘To provide optimization strategies for chalcopyrite ammonia heap leaching processes,the key factors influencing chalcopyrite ammonia leaching kinetics were investigated under sealed reactor and controlled redox potential at ambient temperature.The results indicated that redox potential,particle size,and pH significantly affected chalcopyrite dissolution rates.The reaction orders with respect to particle size and hydroxyl ion concentration c(OH−)were determined to be−2.39 and 0.55,respectively.Temperature exhibited a marginal effect on chalcopyrite dissolution within the range of 25−45℃.The ammonium carbonate medium proved more favorable for chalcopyrite leaching than ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate systems.Surface deposits on the residues were identified as porous iron oxides,predominantly hematite and ferrihydrite,which produced diffusion barriers during leaching.Shrinking core model analysis revealed that the second stage of reaction was controlled by product-layer diffusion,which was further confirmed by the low activation energy(10.18 kJ/mol).

文摘Simultaneous recovery of Ni and Co from Fe(Ⅲ)and AI is a critical challenge in hydrometallurgical processes.Recognized solvent extraction systems often struggle with selectivity and effective performance in mixed metal ion environments.Herein,a new synergistic solvent extraction(SSX)system comprised of a novel pyridine analog,N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)dodecan-1-amine(BPMDA),and dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid(DNNSA)with tributyl phosphate as phase modifier is introduced.The SSX system demonstrates high extraction performance achieving>90%for Ni and>97%for Co in a singlestage extraction process,with high selectivity.Under optimal conditions,the selectivity sequence is observed as Co^(2+)(>97%)>Ni^(2+)(>90%)>Mn^(2+)(<20%)>Fe^(3+)(<10%)>Mg^(2+)(<5%)>Al^(3+)(<2%)>Ca^(2+)(<1%).Spectroscopic analysis evidences the preferential binding of BPMDA with Ni and Co in the presence of DNNSA,concurrently achieving a significant reduction in the co-extraction of Fe(Ⅲ)and Al.The selective complexation of Ni and Co using the SSX system offers a highly efficient and selective approach for their extraction,with promising potential for applications in recovery-based processes.
