The bacterial is the main microorganism in the conventional biofilters. However, it faces some problems on the elimination of hydrophobic compounds. In order to overcome these problems, the biofilters with fungi were developed. The objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting ethyl mercaptan(EM)-degradation using a fungal biofilter. A laboratory experiment was set up. The effects of loading rate, empty bed residence times(EBRT) and pH on EM degradation were investigated. Over 95% removals of EM could be achieved, under the condition of the influent loadings below 50 g/(m·h). Removal efficiencies improved to 98% with EM loading decreased to 45 g/(m·h). For long EBRT of 58 s corresponding to a flow rate of 0.3 m3/h, the EM removal efficiencies of over 98% were observed. However, when EBRT was decreased to 14 s, the removal efficiencies fell under 80%. The pH range of 3—5 was feasible to fungi.展开更多

Herein, a p-conjugated dual-ligand 1,4-phenylmercaptan(PHMT) is explored to rationally tailor the surface of perovskite film.The experimental and theoretical results show that the PHMT presents planar structure and obvious electron delocalization characteristics, which allow it to anchor on the surface of perovskite with a certain orientation, thereby promoting the transport of interface charge. Moreover, the two sulfhydryl groups in PHMT reduce the trap density of the perovskite film by passivating under-coordinated lead ions.Consequently, the PHMT-modified inverted device based on MAPbI_(3)(MA: methylammonium) achieves enhanced efficiency from 18.11%(control) to 21.11%, along with the ambient stability up to 3500 h.After being placed at 85 °C for 500 h or illuminated for 600 h, the modified device remains over 89%or 86% of initial efficiency. This discovery opens a new window for the choice of passivators to improve the performance of PSCs.展开更多

Acetylacetonates of Fe, Mn and V, and Cu nitrate were used as the sources of metals. The removal of a small amount of methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) in air with these activated carbons was tested in a flow system. Compared with activated carbons without metal oxides, the carbons exhibited high activity for the removal of CH3SH in air. In particular, activated carbon obtained from Novolac containing 5 wt% Cu showed excellent behavior over a long time.展开更多

After sulfonated cobalt phthalocyanine （CoPcS） being supported on these solid bases, the catalytic performance of these catalysts was evaluated by means of mercaptan oxidation reaction. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, CO2 temperature-programmed desorption （CO2-TPD）, FTIR spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. Investigation was focused on the effect of Fe2O3 on activity, crystal structure, basicity, and stability of the catalyst and also on the role of Fe2O3 in the mercaptan oxidation processes. Test results have shown that the Fe2O3/MgO/Al2O3- CoPcS catalyst has a higher initial activity and a much longer service life than the MgO/Al2O3-CoPcS catalyst. The increased types of basic sites coupled with an enhanced oxidation ability resulted from the addition of Fe2O3 have contributed to the improvement of the catalytic activity of the MgO/Al2O3-CoPcS catalyst.展开更多
