Ni, Ce, and Ta modified Ti/SnO 2 –Sb 2 O 5 –RuO 2 anodes were first prepared by thermal decomposition strategy and applied for Orange G degradation to explore the effect of Ni, Ce, and Ta modification on electrocatalytic property. The Ta modified anode showed the highest ·OH generation capability and the lowest charge transfer resistance among all samples, conducive to electrocatalytic degradation of Orange G. Besides, the Ta modified anode shows more cracks than Ni and Ce modified anodes, which is expected to create more specific surface areas and more exposed active sites for Orange G degradation. The degradation efficiency and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate increased in the order Ru < Ru–Ni < Ru–Ce < Ru–Ta, with Ru–Ta showing the highest degradation efficiency of 98.6% and 44.2%, much higher than 79.6% and 27.5% of Ru, respectively.

In this work and for the first time, an alkali metal potassium (K) as a promoter was loaded on an activated carbon (AC) to be used for selective catalytic reduction of NO from industrial flue gas. The denitrification activity of K-modified AC samples was investigated and compared with those of acid- and Cu-modified AC samples. The three modifications can enhance the denitrification activity of AC samples. To investigate the enhanced mechanisms of denitrification and SO 2 resistance, various AC samples were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRF, ICP, XRD, N 2 physisorption, H 2 -TPR, XPS, in situ DRIFTS and TPD. For the acid modification, the content of phenolic hydroxyl increases and then promotes the adsorption of NH 3 . For the loading of Cu, the appearance of Cu 2+ /Cu + sites with high catalytic activity promotes NH 3 and NO adsorption and changes the reaction pathway. For the loading of K, the adsorption capacity for NO increases nearly 12 times higher than that on Raw-AC, of which 85.0% is chemical adsorption. Moreover, three kinds of active nitrate species additionally forms, including nitro compounds, monodentate nitrate and nitrous oxide, which promote the denitrification reaction path. AC-Cu has poor sulfur resistance due to the sulfation of Cu, while AC-K show good sulfur resistance due to the enhanced adsorption of NO. The catalytic dissociation activity of N 2 O on AC-K makes the formation and decomposition of N 2 O into a dynamic equilibrium. As a result, AC-K has a high N 2 selectivity , while AC-Cu has poor N 2 selectivity.

This study investigated the effects of microwave modification, alkali polyphenol (ferulic acid) covalently combined modification, and microwave-alkali polyphenol covalently combined modification on the gel properties of soy protein emulsions. The results showed that the properties of soy protein emulsions were improved significantly by the three modification methods. After three kinds of modification, the viscoelasticity of soy protein emulsion gel increased, and a gel system with stronger elasticity was formed. The texture, water-holding, and hydration properties of the emulsion gel increased significantly. The SEM and ClSM results showed that the modified soy protein emulsion gel had a more compact and uniform porous structure, and the oil droplets could be better embedded in the network structure of the gel. Among the three modification methods, the microwave-alkali method polyphenol covalently combining the compound modification effect was best, and the microwave modification effect was least effective compared to the other two methods. Our obtained results suggested that for gel property modification of soy protein emulsion gels, microwave pretreatment combined with the covalent binding of polyphenols by an alkaline method is an effective method.Keywords:microwave modification;alkali polyphenol covalently combined modification;combined modification;emulsion gels;gel properties

Currently, ofloxacin (OFX) is widely used in various medical treatment and aquaculture industries. However, its production and application produces waste which pollutes the natural environment and causes ecological damage. The application of biochar is a crucial way to remove OFX antibiotics from wastewater. In this paper, bagasse was used as the material to be pyrolyzed to obtain bagasse biochar (BC). BC was modified with HNO3 and KOH to prepare acid-modified sugarcane biochar (HBC) and alkali-modified sugarcane biochar and subsequently applied to the treatment of ofloxacin wastewater. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of HBC was 2.2 times higher than that of BC, and it had better adsorption performance. When the dosage of acid-modified biochar was 1 g/L and the initial pH of the solution was 7.0, the OFX removal rate reached 88.5% after 90 min of reaction. HBC has good stability, and the OFX removal efficiency is still up to 78.5% after 5 cycles. According to the adsorption simulation results, the adsorption of the three biochar materials is more consistent with the Freundlich adsorption model, and the simulated linear correlation coefficient is higher than 0.99. The Kfr value of HBC is 6.6042, which exhibits the highest adsorption capacity. Moreover, the three biochars exhibit better simulation results in pseudo-second-order kinetics fitting, and the linear correlation coefficients are above 0.99. The adsorption mechanism of bagasse biochar for ofloxacin in wastewater was π-π electron donor–acceptor interactions. The results show that bagasse biochar has good feasibility in the treatment of ofloxacin wastewater.

Surface modification could remarkably improve the oil–water separation ability of membrane, but suffers from limited survival positive effect layer after long-term operation. Herein, we report a systematic comparative study between bulk and surface modification (i.e., synchronous or sequential electrospun/elecrospraying) on hydrophobic polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. A hydrophilic UiO-66-NH 2 @polyacrylic acid micro/nanospheres (UiO@PAA) was selected as functional layer to improve the separation and adsorption capability of PVDF. The surface modification (SMM) and bulk modification membranes (BMM) exhibited the similar water wetting behavior in air as the same surface layer. The spider filament-like nanofibers of BMM could enhance the mechanical stability and dispersion uniformity of active sites among the PVDF fibers. In terms of oil-in-water emulsions separation ability, the BMM was superior to the SMM with the maximumly increase of separation efficiency and filtration flux to 1.3 % and 192.6 L m -2 h −1 , respectively. As for dye absorption, the BMM showed better adsorption capacity with a removal efficiency over 96 %. For the low concentration of methylene blue, the removal efficiency of SMM was only 94 %, while the removal efficiency of the BMM reached 98 % at room temperature. In addition, the BMM exhibited higher removal efficiency over 94 % compared with that less than 84 % of SMM after eight cycling tests, confirming its advantages in repeatability. This study demonstrates that the bulk modification can endow the initial membrane with better performance and durability, showing more promising prospects in actual wastewater treatment.

To enhance the CO 2 hydrogenation activity and low-carbon olefin selectivity of Fe-based catalysts, a strategy involving the use of metal promoters to modulate the structure of active metal centers in catalyst preparation was proposed. The incipient wetness impregnation method was used to introduce modifying agents K and/or Co into the Fe/Al 2 O 3 catalyst. Characterization techniques such as XRD, BET, SEM, HRTEM, H 2 -TPR, XPS, CO 2 -TPD, NH 3 -TPD, and TG were employed to investigate the effects of the modifying agents on the dispersion, reducibility, electronic properties, and acid–base properties of active metal species. Furthermore, the influence of K and Co modification on the CO 2 hydrogenation activity and low-carbon olefin selectivity of Fe/Al 2 O 3 catalysts was explored. The results revealed that the introduction of K generated more basic sites and electron-rich active metal centers in the catalyst, facilitating the adsorption and activation of CO 2 , while suppressing the hydrogenation of olefins and the formation of methane, thus improving the selectivity towards low-carbon olefins. Co promoter facilitated the dispersion of Fe species, exposing more active sites and enhancing the FTS reaction activity, leading to more CO being converted into C 2+ hydrocarbon products. Under the synergistic effect of K and Co, the CO 2 conversion activity of the Fe-based catalyst significantly increased, achieving a CO 2 conversion rate of 37%, while the selectivity towards C 2 -C 4= increased to 31.9%.

Cracks are inevitable during the service life of asphalt pavement and the water at the fracture surfaces tends to cause the grouting materials to fail. Studies have shown that the catechol groups in adhesion proteins secreted by mussels can produce strong adhesion performance in the water. In this paper, the mussel-like adhesive L-Dopa Methacrylic anhydride (L-DMA) was prepared based on the concept of bionic design and used to improve the properties of asphalt. By using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the thermal stability and structural composition of L-DMA were investigated. Then, the rheological and low-temperature properties of L-DMA-modified asphalt were investigated using the dynamic shear rheological (DSR) test and bending beam rheological (BBR) test. Moreover, the modification mechanism was explored by FTIR. It was found that L-DMA can be effectively synthesized and has good thermal stability. The incorporation of L-DMA increases the composite modulus, viscosity, creep recovery rate and rutting factor of asphalt binder, resulting in an enhancement of its high-temperature performance. At a high L-DMA content of 10%, the low-temperature performance of the modified asphalt was enhanced. The modification of L-DMA to asphalt is mainly a physical process. Hydrogen bonds and conjugated systems generated by the introduction of catechol groups enhance the adhesion properties of asphalt. In general, L-DMA improves the properties of asphalt and theoretically can improve the water resistance of asphalt, which will be explored in future research.Keywords:L-DMA;mussel bionic materials;modified asphalt;modification mechanism;rheological properties

A series of steam and phosphorus modified ZSM-5 samples were prepared to investigate the effect of pore structure and acid property on ethylene oligomerization. Characterization results showed that steam treatment contributed to generate mesopores with pore sizes of 2–3 nm and 10–20 nm, while progressive aggregation of phosphorus species on the exterior surface resulted in blockage of channels. Dealumination of framework aluminum led to a gradual decline in total acidity and acid strength with an increase of steam temperature or P/Al ratio. Sufficient strong acid sites and enhanced accessibility to the inner active sites were crucial factors in conversion of ethylene to liquid fuels. The steam modified sample at 700 °C (HZ-700) obtained the highest yield of liquid fuels up to 78.1%, which demonstrated an increase of 40% in comparison with the unmodified sample. Due to improved diffusional capacity originating from mesopores, HZ-700 showed a higher deactivation stability than the phosphorus modified sample at similar conversion levels. This work will provide some insight into the development of zeolite-based catalyst for ethylene oligomerization to liquid fuels.

A series of flame-retardant waterborne polyurethanes were synthesized with 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and polyethylene glycol600 (PEG600) and modified with different level of diethylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylphosphonate (fyrol-6); besides, 1,1,1-Tris(hydroxymethyl)propane was introduced as chain extender and crosslinking agent. The structures of these waterborne polyurethanes were confirmed by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Thermal degradation properties and flame retardancy were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), and vertical burning test (UL-94). Wettability and mechanical property of film were measured with contact angle analyzer and universal mechanical machine, respectively. The results showed that when the mass of fyrol-6 was 12.0 % and the TMP was 1.7 %, an LOI value of 28.1 % and a UL-94V-2 rating could be achieved. Besides, the mechanical properties, including tensile strength, 100 % modulus and impact strength, are also relatively good. Simultaneously, the TGA analysis indicated that the incorporation of fyrol-6 enhanced the carbon residue from 8.9 to 19.9 %.

The problem of blue algae accumulation can be alleviated by utilizing blue algae as biomass for resource utilization, which can remove excess phosphates from water to alleviate eutrophication. Herein, Magnesium (Mg) and/or lanthanum (La) were used to modify biochar via high-temperature slow pyrolysis with blue algae as the raw biomass. These modified biochars exhibited abundant carbon (18.0 %-50.3 %), oxygen content (17.4 %-49.1 %), along with a high specific surface area (82.26–233.80 m 2 /g). The surface of metal-modified biochar was enriched with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and metal elements were efficiently incorporated into biochars. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm experiments were conducted under the optimal pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C, pH of 6.0, and adsorbent dosage of 2.0 g/L. The adsorption kinetics studies by metal-modified biochars for phosphate fitted well pseudo-second-order model Redlich-Peterson isotherm model. Biochar modified by Mg and La exhibited the highest removal efficiency (97.8 %) for phosphate at adsorption equilibrium. The adsorption mechanism involved the electrostatic interaction between hydroxylated metal oxides and negatively charged phosphate ions and the precipitation of phosphate ions through chemical reactions with metal oxides in the solution. After phosphate adsorption, the pristine and metal-modified biochars derived from blue algae were applied as the soil amendment. Biochar adsorbed phosphate apparently improved the germination rate of seeds facilitated the height, width, weight, and chlorophyll content of vegetable seedlings, and induced oxidative stress, which proved that the biochar recovered after adsorption was a high-quality soil amendment. This study provides a new approach for the treatment of phosphate wastewater and the algae application.

Herein, epoxy resins for composite liquid oxygen (LOX) fuel tanks are modified with phosphorous flame retardant (DOPO) and brominated epoxy resin (EX48). With the incorporation of DOPO and EX48, the processing properties requirements for the hot-melt prepreg are contented with the significantly enhanced viscosity of the modified epoxy resin. At the same time, the tensile performance, flexural performance and fracture toughness of epoxy resin at room temperature and 90 K are improved with the introduction of DOPO and EX48. In addition, the epoxy resin of EP/P 7.7 /Br 40 offers a highest limited oxygen index of 33.5% and a lowest LOX impact sensitivity of 5% with the eliminated LOX incompatible reactions including explosion and combustion. Consideration of the excellent cryogenic mechanical properties and LOX compatibility, combined with ideal viscosity for hot-melt prepreg preparation, the epoxy resin modified with DOPO and EX48 simultaneously is attractive as the polymer matrix for composite LOX fuel tanks.

The acrylic adhesives with the flame-retardant property are necessary to meet the safety requirement in electrostatic flocking. In this study, acrylic emulsion chemically modified with phosphorus and silicone, PSE, with core–shell structure, was synthesized by introducing the vinyl silicone oil and phosphor-containing monomer (PAM-100) onto the molecular chain of acrylic ester polymer in the core and shell layer, respectively. Subsequently, the silicone-acrylic adhesive with flame retardation (FR-SA) was prepared by mixing PSE with inorganic flame-retardant, Al(OH) 3 . The acrylic adhesive obtains the excellent flame retardation under a low addition of Al(OH) 3 when the ratio of PAM-100 is 5%, while the commercial adhesive needs a high addition of the inorganic flame retardant to realize the satisfactory performance. FR-SA in this work has a great potential application as intrinsically flame-retardant electrostatic flocking adhesive.
