Facile synthesis of Cu-doped manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve for the efficient degradation of sulfamethoxazole via peroxymonosulfate activation

Advanced processes for peroxymonosulfate(PMS)-based oxidation are efficient in eliminating toxic and refractory organic pol-lutants from sewage.The activation of electron-withdrawing HSO_(5)^(-)releases reactive species,including sulfate radical(·SO_(4)^(-)),hydroxyl radical(·OH),superoxide radical(·O_(2)^(-)),and singlet oxygen(1O_(2)),which can induce the degradation of organic contaminants.In this work,we synthesized a variety of M-OMS-2 nanorods(M=Co,Ni,Cu,Fe)by doping Co^(2+),Ni^(2+),Cu^(2+),or Fe^(3+)into manganese oxide oc-tahedral molecular sieve(OMS-2)to efficiently remove sulfamethoxazole(SMX)via PMS activation.The catalytic performance of M-OMS-2 in SMX elimination via PMS activation was assessed.The nanorods obtained in decreasing order of SMX removal rate were Cu-OMS-2(96.40%),Co-OMS-2(88.00%),Ni-OMS-2(87.20%),Fe-OMS-2(35.00%),and OMS-2(33.50%).Then,the kinetics and struc-ture-activity relationship of the M-OMS-2 nanorods during the elimination of SMX were investigated.The feasible mechanism underly-ing SMX degradation by the Cu-OMS-2/PMS system was further investigated with a quenching experiment,high-resolution mass spec-troscopy,and electron paramagnetic resonance.Results showed that SMX degradation efficiency was enhanced in seawater and tap water,demonstrating the potential application of Cu-OMS-2/PMS system in sewage treatment.

混合策略在水泥窑炉煅烧NO_(x)浓度预测中的应用

NO_(x)体积分数是反映水泥窑炉煅烧过程中氮排放的一个关键环保指标。水泥煅烧过程具有大噪声、大时滞和非线性等复杂特性。为了解决以上难点,提出基于互补集合经验模态分解(Complemementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition,CEEMD)、熵原理的互信息(Mutual Information,MI)、最大相关最小冗余算法(Max-Relevance and Min-Redundancy,mRMR)和天牛须搜索算法(Beetle Antennae Search,BAS)优化神经网络(Back Propagation Neural Network,BPNN)的混合策略,并用于NO_(x)体积分数预测。首先,CEEMD和中值平均滤波用于处理大噪声。同时,利用熵原理的MI和mRMR进行时滞分析和变量选择,解决大时滞问题。其次,利用BAS提高多层前馈(Back Propagation,BP)神经网络的预测能力,并解决非线性工况问题。最后,将该策略进行工业应用。结果显示,在25900个工业测试样本中,两组的均方根误差(Root Mean Squared Error,RMSE)和平均绝对误差(Mean Absolute Error,MAE)分别仅为0.3024、0.2059和0.2153、0.2013。预测模型结果可指导水泥脱硝操作人员精准喷氨,减少NO_(x)排放并降低氨水用量和氨逃逸情况。

Glycine-β-cyclodextrin-assisted cometabolism of phenanthrene and pyrene by Pseudomonas stutzeri DJP 1 from marine sediment

Cometabolic degradation is currently an effective and extensively way to remove high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(HMW-PAHs).Unfortunately,due to low bio-accessibility and high biotoxicity,the cometabolic degradation rate of HMW-PAHs is limited.Glycine-β-cyclodextrin(GCD)was obtained through amino modification ofβ-cyclodextrin(BCD)and added to cometabolic system of phenanthrene(PHE)and pyrene(PYR)to assist PYR biodegradation.Results show that the addition of GCD(100 mg/L)effectively improved the removal rate of PYR(20 mg/L)by 42.3%.GCD appeared to increase the bio-accessibility and reduce the biotoxicity of PHE and PYR,and then promoted the growth of Pseudomonas stutzeri DJP1 and stimulated the elevation of dehydrogenase(DHA)and catechol 12 dioxygenase(C12O)activities.The phthalate metabolic pathway was accelerated,which improved the cometabolic degradation.This study provided a new reference for the cometabolic degradation of HMW-PAHs.

Effects of pyraclostrobin on growth,oxidative stress,and gene expression in relation to stress and ATP-binding cassette transporters in Tetrahymena thermophila

Pyraclostrobin(PYR),a widely used fungicide,has negative effects on fish and algae,but its toxicity in protozoa remains unclear.In this study,the effects of PYR on the growth,oxidative stress,and gene expression related to stress and ATP-binding cassette(ABC)transporters in Tetrahymena thermophila were investigated.The result showed that the 96-h IC_(50)of PYR against T.thermophila was 17.2 mg/L.Moreover,PYR inhibited the growth of T.thermophila in concentration-or time-dependent manner.A morphological study revealed that the shape and size of T.thermophila changed,and damage of cell membrane surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy after 96 h of PYR exposure.The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)increased throughout the experiment.In contrast,the glutathione(GSH)content was increased at 24 h and 48 h of exposure and decreased at 96 h.Moreover,a significant increase in malondialdehyde(MDA)level was observed in T.thermophila after96 h of exposure.Furthermore,PYR upregulated the HSP703,HSP705,GPx2,and ABAC15 gene expression in the 0.1–5-mg/L groups and downregulated the HSP704,HSP90,TGR,and ABCC52 mRNA levels at 96 h of exposure.These results suggest that PYR may exert adverse effects on T.thermophila by inducing oxidative stress and changing the gene expression related to ABC transporters and stress,which may enrich the understanding of the toxicity mechanism of PYR in aquatic organisms and provide reference data for aquatic ecological risk assessments.

Multi-Pollutant Formation and Control in Pressurized Oxy-Combustion:SO_(x),NO_(x),Particulate Matter,and Mercury

Oxy-combustion is a promising carbon-capture technology,but atmospheric-pressure oxy-combustion has a relatively low net efficiency,limiting its application in power plants.In pressurized oxycombustion(POC),the boiler,air separation unit,flue gas recirculation unit,and CO_(2)purification and compression unit are all operated at elevated pressure;this makes the process more efficient,with many advantages over atmospheric pressure,such as low NO_(x)emissions,a smaller boiler size,and more.POC is also more promising for industrial application and has attracted widespread research interest in recent years.It can produce high-pressure CO_(2)with a purity of approximately 95%,which can be used directly for enhanced oil recovery or geo-sequestration.However,the pollutant emissions must meet the standards for carbon capture,storage,and utilization.Because of the high oxygen and moisture concentrations in POC,the formation of acids via the oxidation and solution of SO_(x)and NO_(x)can be increased,causing the corrosion of pipelines and equipment.Furthermore,particulate matter(PM)and mercury emissions can harm the environment and human health.The main distinction between pressurized and atmospheric-pressure oxy-combustion is the former’s elevated pressure;thus,the effect of this pressure on the pollutants emitted from POC—including SO_(x),NO_(x),PM,and mercury—must be understood,and effective control methodologies must be incorporated to control the formation of these pollutants.This paper reviews recent advances in research on SO_(x),NO_(x),PM,and mercury formation and control in POC systems that can aid in pollutant control in such systems.

Regulation of interlayer channels of graphene oxide nanosheets in ultra-thin Pebax mixed-matrix membranes for CO_(2) capture

For the application of carbon capture by membrane process,it is crucial to develop a highly permeable CO_(2)-selective membrane.In this work,we reported an ultra-thin polyether-block-amide(Pebax)mixedmatrix membranes(MMMs)incorporated by graphene oxide(GO),in which the interlayer channels were regulated to optimize the CO_(2)/N_(2) separation performance.Various membrane preparation conditions were systematically investigated on the influence of the membrane structure and separation performance,including the lateral size of GO nanosheets,GO loading,thermal reduction temperature,and time.The results demonstrated that the precisely regulated interlayer channel of GO nanosheets can rapidly provide CO_(2)-selective transport channels due to the synergetic effects of size sieving and preferential adsorption.The GO/Pebax ultra-thin MMMs exhibited CO_(2)/N_(2) selectivity of 72 and CO_(2) permeance of 400 GPU(1 GPU=106 cm^(3)(STP)·cm^(2)·s^(-1)·cmHg^(-1)),providing a promising candidate for CO_(2) capture.

Novel Cs-Mg-Al mixed oxide with improved mobility of oxygen species for passive NO_(x)adsorption

The development of passive NO_(x)adsorbers with cost-benefit and high NO_(x)storage capacity remains an on-going challenge to after-treatment technologies at lower temperatures associated with cold-start NO_(x)emissions.Herein,Cs_(1)Mg_(3)Al catalyst prepared by sol-gel method was cyclic tested in NO_(x)storage under 5 vol%water.At 100°C,the NO_(x)storage capacity(1219 μmol g^(-1))was much higher than that of Pt/BaO/Al_(2)O_(3)(610 μmol g^(-1)).This provided new insights for non-noble metal catalysts in low-temperature passive NO_(x)adsorption.The addition of Cs improved the mobility of oxygen species and thus improved the NO_(x)storage capacity.The XRD,XPS,IR spectra and in situ DRIFTs with NH3 probe showed an interaction between CsO_(x)and AlO_(x)sites via oxygen species formed on Cs_(1)Mg_(3)Al catalyst.The improved mobility of oxygen species inferred from O2-TPD was consistent with high NO_(x)storage capacity related to enhanced formation of nitrate and additional nitrite species by NO_(x)oxidation.Moreover,the addition of Mg might improve the stability of Cs_(1)Mg_(3)Al by stabilizing surface active oxygen species in cyclic experiments.

RDX基PBX在高温条件下热损伤表征试验研究

炸药热损伤特征及演化行为对装药安全性具有重要影响。为探究高聚物黏结剂炸药(Polymer Binder Explosive,PBX)在不同温度载荷下的内部损伤和演化行为,对无约束状态下炸药进行烤燃试验,使用分析天平监测炸药的质量变化,并采用显微镜和扫描电子显微镜等技术对炸药样品的表面和内部损伤进行表征。结果表明:温度越高,炸药的质量损失越大且损失速率越快;加热过程中黏结剂先发生熔化,随着加热时间变长和温度升高,黏结剂熔化程度增大,流动性增强,气体从炸药表面孔洞内逸出,孔洞增多且尺寸变大;温度越高炸药内部出现的孔隙越多,孔隙尺寸越大,孔隙主要是由于气体从试样内部逸出形成;炸药内部比表面积变化趋势为上升—下降—上升,其变化趋势受到化学反应速率和黏结剂的流动及损失影响。黏结剂材料的热稳定性是影响炸药热损伤演化行为的重要因素。

Balancing Dermatological and Gynecological Considerations: Evaluating the Necessity of Pelvic Exams in OCP Prescriptions for Acne Management

Routine pelvic examinations in women prescribed oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) for acne management are scrutinized to assess their impact on dermatological outcomes versus gynecological health. A synthesis of clinical trials, patient surveys, and medical guidelines reveals that these routine exams do not significantly enhance the effectiveness of acne treatment with OCPs but are linked to increased patient discomfort and false-positive results. Evidence suggests that routine pelvic examinations do not significantly impact the effectiveness of acne management with OCPs but are associated with increased patient discomfort and higher rates of false-positive results. The analysis indicates that a more personalized approach, focusing on selective pelvic examinations based on individual risk factors and clinical symptoms, may offer a more practical and patient-centered alternative. The review advocates for a reexamination of existing guidelines to better align with a model of individualized care, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize best practices at the intersection of dermatological and gynecological care. Adopting a personalized approach to pelvic examinations could substantially improve patient care by minimizing unnecessary interventions and discomfort while maintaining the efficacy of acne treatment with oral contraceptive pills.

磺胺甲恶唑(SMX)对双齿围沙蚕的毒性效应研究

磺胺甲恶唑(sulfamethoxazole,SMX)作为一种广谱型抗生素,由于大量使用而在水体中广泛存在。为研究SMX对海洋多毛类动物双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhitensis)的毒性效应,将双齿围沙蚕暴露于1、10和100μg·L^(-1)SMX的海水中15 d,从个体、细胞和分子水平探究SMX对双齿围沙蚕的生长、掘穴行为、抗氧化防御、非特异性免疫以及细胞凋亡等方面的影响。结果表明,1μg·L^(-1)和10μg·L^(-1)SMX对沙蚕体质量的影响不显著(P>0.05),但所有SMX处理组双齿围沙蚕的体长都显著高于对照组水平(P<0.05)。暴露于SMX的双齿围沙蚕掘穴率显著降低,且高浓度SMX(100μg·L^(-1))对双齿围沙蚕有明显的神经毒性作用,表现为乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的显著降低。SMX暴露诱导了氧化应激,导致了超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性的升高以及丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量的下降。此外,10μg·L^(-1)和100μg·L^(-1)SMX暴露下酸性磷酸酶(ACP)活性显著降低,表明暴露于高浓度的SMX可能会降低双齿围沙蚕的免疫力。最后,高浓度SMX暴露下,双齿围沙蚕凋亡相关基因大都呈现下调趋势,抑制细胞凋亡。本研究有助于进一步了解SMX污染对水生无脊椎动物的毒性效应,增进对SMX生态毒性的认识。

采用二甲基亚砜(DMSO)插层法制备单层Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x),并用共沉淀法合成了高催化活性的Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)/ZnO复合光催化剂。通过X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)等手段进行表征。结果表明:ZnO与Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)复合后,其光催化性能得到了明显提升,当Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)与ZnO复合比例为16%时,其具有最佳的降解效果,在可见光照射2h下对盐酸四环素(TCH)降解率可达91.36%。光催化活性的提高主要由于Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)与ZnO表面形成的肖特基势垒有效地抑制了电子空穴的复合,提高了光催化效率。

An innovative classification system for ranking the biological effects of marine aromatic hydrocarbons based on fish embryotoxicity

Petroleum hydrocarbon pollution is a global concern,particularly in coastal environments.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) are regarded as the most toxic components of petroleum hydrocarbons.In this study,the biomonitoring and ranking effects of petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs on the marine fish model Oryzias melastigma embryos were determined in the Jiulong River Estuary(JRE) and its adjacent waters in China.The results showed that the levels of petroleum hydrocarbons from almost all sites met the primary standard for marine seawater quality,and the concentrations of the 16 priority PAHs in the surface seawater were lower compared with those in other coastal areas worldwide.A new fish expert system based on the embryotoxicity of O.melastigma(OME-FES) was developed and applied in the field to evaluate the biological effects of petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs.The selected physiological index and molecular indicators in OME-FES were appropriate biomarkers for indicating the harmful effects of petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs.The outcome of OME-FES revealed that the biological effect levels of the sampling sites ranged from level Ⅰ(no stress) to level Ⅲ(medium stress),which is further corroborated by the findings of nested analysis of variance(ANOVA) models.Our results suggest that the OME-FES is an effective tool for evaluating and ranking the biological effects of marine petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs.This method may also be applied to evaluate other marine pollutants based on its framework.

Porous metal oxides in the role of electrochemical CO_(2) reduction reaction

The global energy-related CO_(2) emissions have rapidly increased as the world economy heavily relied on fossil fuels.This paper explores the pressing challenge of CO_(2) emissions and highlights the role of porous metal oxide materials in the electrocatalytic reduction of CO_(2)(CO_(2)RR).The focus is on the development of robust and selective catalysts,particularly metal and metal-oxide-based materials.Porous metal oxides offer high surface area,enhancing the accessibility to active sites and improving reaction kinetics.The tunability of these materials allows for tailored catalytic behavior,targeting optimized reaction mechanisms for CO_(2)RR.The work also discusses the various synthesis strategies and identifies key structural and compositional features,addressing challenges like high overpotential,poor selectivity,and low stability.Based on these insights,we suggest avenues for future research on porous metal oxide materials for electrochemical CO_(2) reduction.

Motion and Special Relativity in Complex Spaces

A natural extension of the Lorentz transformation to its complex version was constructed together with a parallel extension of the Minkowski M4 model for special relativity (SR) to complex C4 space-time. As the [signed] absolute values of complex coordinates of the underlying motion’s characterization in C4 one obtains a Newtonian-like type of motion whereas as the real parts of the complex motion’s description and of the complex Lorentz transformation, all the SR theory as modeled by M4 real space-time can be recovered. This means all the SR theory is preserved in the real subspace M4 of the space-time C4 while becoming simpler and clearer in the new complex model’s framework. Since velocities in the complex model can be determined geometrically, with no primary use of time, time turns out to be definable within the equivalent theory of the reduced complex C4 model to the C3 “para-space” model. That procedure allows us to separate time from the (para)space and consider all the SR theory as a theory of C3 alone. On the other hand, the complex time defined within the C3 theory is interpreted and modeled by the single separate C1 complex plane. The possibility for application of the C3 model to quantum mechanics is suggested. As such, the model C3 seems to have unifying abilities for application to different physical theories.
