Chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic employed for controlling bacterial infections, presents an intriguing aspect in terms of its environmental fate in soils. 14 C-labeled chloramphenicol was used to explore its mineralization and residue characteristics in three distinct agricultural soils in China. The findings revealed a nuanced pattern in the fate of 14 C-chloramphenicol, with notable variations among the different soils under investigation. The chloramphenicol extract residue exhibited a reduction of 18.04% in sandy clay soil, 23.04% in clay loam soil, and 21.73% in loamy clay soil. Notably, the mineralization rate in sandy clay soil was 25.22% surpassed that in the other two soils, particularly during the initial stages of incubation. Over time, the diminishing extract residue underwent conversion into minerals and bound residue. The formation rate of bound residue was increased from 44.59 to 53.65% after adding 10% manure, suggesting that chloramphenicol easily binds with soils rich in organic matter. The bound residue is predominantly localized in the humin fraction across all soils. Additionally, the sterilized soil experiments indicated the pivotal role of microorganisms in influencing the fate of chloramphenicol under the specified experimental conditions. In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights into the environmental dynamics of chloramphenicol in soils, emphasizing the importance of soil composition, organic matter content, and microbial activity. The findings contribute to a scientific understanding of the environmental safety implications associated with chloramphenicol usage.

The accurate measurement of the biomass lower-calorific-value-based blending ratio (BLBR) is the premise and key to scale development of the power generation technology from co-firing of biomass and coal. However, existing determination methods of BLBR are less accurate, which has impeded
the scale utilization of the co-firing technology of biomass and coal. To accurately determine the BLBR, this research proposed a flue gas sampling system suitable for determining BLBR through 14C quantitative analysis and established a medium-scale experimental platform for BLBR
determination. In addition, predictive models for the lower calorific values of coal and biomass fuels were built and the BLBR calculation model for co-firing power plants was deduced. Furthermore, experimental verification of the BLBR determination was also conducted. The results show that
the lower calorific values of coal and biomass fuels are highly linearly positively correlated with the carbon content. The relative errors of the established prediction models for lower calorific values of biomass and coal are separately lower than 5% and 8%. The results indicate that the
proposed BLBR determination method is accurate.
