Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have received increasing attention due to their unprecedented potential for energy-efficient gas separation. Compared with other MOF materials (like ZIF), fabrication and microstructural manipulation of high-performance Ti-MOF-based membranes, although being very attractive due to their excellent chemical and thermal stability, remained relatively less investigated due to the limitations of available titanium sources and heating modes. In this study, different Ti sources (TPOT, TiS 2 , and MXene) and heating modes (conventional heating, multi-mode microwave heating, and single-mode microwave heating) were examined for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes showing diverse microstructures and gas separation performances. The present work revealed that for the first time, MXene , the new two-dimensional Ti carbide , could be used as Ti source for synthesizing MOF membranes. The best performing NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes, which were obtained with TiS 2 as the metal source under single-mode microwave heating, exhibited the highest H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (ca. 17.2) as well as considerable H 2 permeance (1.7 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), owing to an enhanced non-thermal effect of single-mode microwave heating and balanced dissolution rate of TiS 2 .

A novel tri-isopropanolamine functionalized graphene oxide (TI-GO) adsorbent was synthesized by one-step reaction at 358K. Then the prepared TI-GO was characterized by SEM-EDS, FTIR, Raman spectra, TG, BET and XPS. The characterization results indicated the TI-GO has been synthesized successfully and it interact with Pb(II) ions through its nitrogen and oxygen-containing functional groups. Batch adsorption experiments were applied to evaluate the optimized conditions of adsorption. The results indicated that the TI-GO can reach equilibrium adsorption in 30 min and get maximum adsorption capacity at 293 K, pH 5.0. Besides, the adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm research indicated that the adsorption of TI-GO fit pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity evaluated by Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation is 1478 mg/g.

NO is the main precursor of photochemical smog. Since the SCR system of marine diesel engines has many disadvantages, this paper proposes an effective wet method to remove NO from the exhaust gases of marine diesel engines. Experiments were performed in a bubble column reactor to study the absorption of NO using sodium persulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 8 )/urea ((NH 2 ) 2 CO) solutions from a simulated gas stream. The effects of various operating parameters on NO removal were investigated, including reaction temperature, urea concentration, Na 2 S 2 O 8 concentration and the initial pH value of Na 2 S 2 O 8 /urea solutions. The experimental results showed that the NO removal efficiency increased with increasing reaction temperature (25–80 °C) and increasing Na 2 S 2 O 8 concentration (0.01–0.2 mol/L). When the concentration of urea was higher than 0.5 mol/L at 60 °C, 1 mol/L at 70 °C or 2 mol/L at 80 °C, the NO removal efficiency increased with the increase of urea concentration (0.1–4 mol/L). The highest NO removal efficiency was 99.7%, occurring at 80 °C when the concentrations of Na 2 S 2 O 8 and urea were 0.1 mol/L and 4 mol/L, respectively, and the concentration of nitrate was 14.93 mg/L. The optimal urea conditions were well below the legal limit of 60 mg/L. The NO removal efficiency increased with the increase of initial pH value within the herein investigated range of 7–9. All the experimental data showed that the novel system not only achieved effective NO removal efficiency, but also reduced the nitrate in wastewater, which could thus be applied to denitrification of marine engine exhaust gases.

As different liquid desiccants show different dehumidification and operation characteristics, the comprehensive performance comparison between two liquid desiccants (LiCl and LiBr aqueous solutions) was conducted in this paper. The electronic conductivity of the LiBr aqueous solution was experimentally investigated and the electronic conductivity model of the LiBr solution was acquired. Compared with the LiCl solution, the LiBr solution has higher electronic conductivity within the concentration range of 20–40% and the temperature range of 20–60 °C, which means the ED regenerator using LiBr solution has lower electric resistance. The increase of the liquid desiccant concentration is beneficial to the moisture removal rate but harmful to the whole system COP and dehumidification efficiency, while the effect of the liquid desiccant temperature is opposite. Within the liquid desiccant temperature range of 20–30 °C, the whole system COP varies among 1 and 2.8 for the LiCl solution with the concentration of 38% at the exit of the ED regenerator, and it is among 2.5 and 5.8 for the LiBr solution with the concentration of 55% after regeneration. Using the LiCl solution can give the system the better dehumidification potential, while using LiBr solution can help the system to acquire the better whole performance and economy.

A novel method was developed and applied for the treatment of simulated wastewater containing multiple heavy metals. A sorbent of ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) was synthesized and showed extraordinary performance for the removal of Hg 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ . The removal efficiencies of Hg 2+ , Cu 2+ , Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ were 99.9%, 99.9%, 90.8% and 66.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, it was determined that solubility product ( K sp ) of heavy metal sulfides was closely related to adsorption selectivity of various heavy metals on the sorbent. The removal efficiency of Hg 2+ was higher than that of Cd 2+ , while the K sp of HgS was lower than that of CdS. It indicated that preferential adsorption of heavy metals occurred when the K sp of the heavy metal sulfide was lower. In addition, the differences in the K sp of heavy metal sulfides allowed for the exchange of heavy metals, indicating the potential application for the sequential removal and separation of heavy metals from wastewater. According to the cumulative adsorption experimental results, multiple heavy metals were sequentially adsorbed and separated from the simulated wastewater in the order of the K sp of their sulfides. This method holds the promise of sequentially removing and separating multiple heavy metals from wastewater.

A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after lyophilization, the method of which was recently found beneficial to enhance the adsorptive properties of aerogels . The composite aerogels were then employed for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) from water, and the one prepared at GO:CS= 1:2 (w/w) was selected as the optimal compromising the adsorption and mechanical properties. The maximum adsorption amounts of MO and MB were calculated to be 543.4 and 110.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Especially, the effects of pH on adsorption of MO and MB in both single and binary systems were investigated in detail. The aerogel possessed pH-responsive feature for single dye adsorption, tending to adsorb MO at low pH while to adsorb MB at high pH. In the binary system, the pH-responsive feature remained and selective adsorption was observed at low initial dye concentration. In contrast, synergistic adsorption occurred instead at high initial concentration, and MB and MO could be efficiently removed simultaneously in the whole pH range of 3–11.

Chemical looping redox cycle of oxygen storage materials offers a versatile platform to convert methane to value-added products in a clean and efficient manner. However, the highly dynamic nature of the oxygen diffusion process restrains the selective formation of the target products over a long reaction period. In this work, we show the oxygen storage materials-comprising of iron oxides and zirconium oxide support, with the nickel catalyst controllably deposited—that significantly enhanced the syngas selectivity. Mechanistic study indicated the oxygen releasing rate can be well controlled within a long reaction period by the specific spatial structure, demonstrating a new strategy to tune the oxygen diffusion in chemical looping process. Through the observed spatial effects, this work can be also extended to develop more oxygen storage materials for the other chemical looping applications, e.g. methane reforming, methane oxidative coupling, ethane oxidative dehydrogenation, etc .

Nonaqueous amine-based blends have great potential for energy-efficient CO 2 absorbent. In this work, densities and viscosities were measured for liquid binary mixtures of 2-(ethylamino)ethanol (EAE) and 2-(butylamino)ethanol (BAE) with 2-butoxyethanol (EGBE) at temperatures of (293.15–353.15)K over the entire concentration range and atmospheric pressure. Intermolecular interactions between EGBE and two secondary amines with different carbon chain length were discussed. The excess molar volume ( V E ), viscosity deviations ( ∆η ) and excess Gibbs free energy ( ∆G ⁎ E ) were calculated from the experimental data and also correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation to estimate the binary interaction parameters. The experimental data and the calculated from the proposed correlations for the studied binary mixtures matched well each other, with AADs within 0.01% and 1.45% for density and viscosity respectively. The variation of excess properties was also discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions. Weak interactions on mixing these binary mixtures with different mass fractions were observed from the FTIR spectra analysis.

A new pyrolytic process was successfully used to prepare hollow-like spherical sludge chars (HSC). In the process, pre-formed cotton spheres with a low density were firstly coated by a layer of sludge paste containing ZnCl2 to form cotton fiber@sludge spheres and then pyrolyzed at 500 °C for 2 h. The resulting HSC possessed a diameter of about 3 mm, a low density of 0.1008 g cm−3 and a high surface area of 1008 m2 g−1. The column adsorption behavior showed that the adsorption capacity and rate constant of HSC for methylene blue reached 186.4 mg g−1 and 0.232 mL min−1 mg−1. The adsorption capacity is about 8.4 and 12 fold of the adsorption capacities of GAC (22.28 mg g−1) and SC (15.26 mg g−1), respectively, and the adsorption rate constant is about 1.3 fold of that of GAC and SC. The great adsorption capacity and rate constant can be considerably dependent on the special hollow-like spherical structure of HSC.

An experimental study of single carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) bubbles ascending in aqueous solutions of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is performed as a means to obtain further understanding of the rising behavior and mass transfer of soluble bubbles in shear-thinning non-Newtonian fluids. High-speed photography and digital image processing technique are employed to quantify the characteristic parameters of the bubble rising process. The rising behavior of single CO 2 bubbles in a Newtonian fluid (tap water) is measured as a reference. It has been found that the rheology of the liquid phase significantly influenced the rising behavior of the bubbles. In CMC aqueous solutions, CO 2 bubbles mostly followed a straight rising path characterized by increasing aspect ratio and decreasing vertical velocity. Increase in initial bubble size led to bubble deformation in less concentrated CMC aqueous solutions which resulted in an irregular rising path. The evolution of bubble equivalent diameter can be mainly divided into two stages: a fast reduction stage followed by a slow one. Meanwhile, the variation of liquid-side mass transfer coefficient k L of CO 2 bubbles in tap water and CMC aqueous solution with different weight percentages is discussed. The mobility of gas-liquid interface is considered to have significant impact on gas-liquid mass transfer. A dimensionless correlation considering the rheology of the liquid phase is proposed to describe the evolution of the motion and deformation of single soluble CO 2 bubbles in infinite stagnant shear-thinning non-Newtonian liquids.

In recent years, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have been widely used in the electric vehicle industry. The recycling of spent LFP will be propitious to conserving resources and alleviating the environmental risks it poses. In this study, a selective extraction method for lithium from spent LFP was proposed using nitric acid . Lithium leached into the liquid phase, while P and Fe remained in the leaching residue. Under the conditions of 120°C, HNO 3 /Li molar ratio of 2, and time of 2 h, the leaching efficiency of lithium reached 99.5 %, with a selectivity reaching 82.1 %. Initially, LFP was decomposed to liberate Li, Fe, and P in the liquid phase. Subsequently, ferrous ions were oxidized to trivalent, high-valent iron ions re-precipitated as FePO 4 ·2 H 2 O. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that the temperature and pH value of the extraction system have significant influence on both the oxidation and reprecipitation steps. An imbalance of Fe/P ratio (<1) in the raw material hinders the selectivity of lithium extraction , and supplementing this portion of Fe can enhance the selectivity to over 90 %. Additionally, LiCO 3 and anhydrous FePO 4 were effectively regenerated from the leachate and residue. This study provides a novel approach for the recycling of spent LFP and probably contributes to the sustainability of the lithium ion battery industry.

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane is an embryonic technology in chemical engineering for simultaneously purifying organic solvents and recycling nano-scale molecules. Although the inherent nano-cavity cyclodextrins (CDs) as powerful molecular hosts in supramolecular science ensure promise for separation technology, the limited synthesis toolbox and material choice impede the CDs deployment in membrane separations, especially for OSN applications. Herein, biocompatible β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and mussel-inspired polydopamine (pDA) were discovered as the building blocks to simultaneously construct OSN membranes assisted by the host-guest interactions of supramolecular chemistry and hydrogen-bonds via one-step “green” process. Honeycomb microstructures were formed in this process, which adds the molecular transportation pathways. Such biopolymer membranes can remain extraordinarily stable in organic solvent environments, whilst achieving high rejection against angstrom-sized molecule with different charges toward environmental and energy benefits.
