Considerable amounts of NOx are generated from the thermal utilization of solid wastes. To control NOx emission, we investigated the influence of mixed Fe/Ca additives on the generation of NOx precursors (HCN and NH3) during pyrolysis at 873, 1073, and 1273 K. Protein, proline, and phenylalanine were selected as model compounds to represent the primary nitrogen forms in typical solid wastes, such as biomass and sludge. According to the results, the iron effect is a remarkable property that enables the obvious reduction of NH3. This was most likely because NH3 was consumed by iron compounds to generate FeNx. Iron compounds facilitated thermal cracking of heterocyclic N with the release of HCN. Ca(OH)2 promoted the conversion of HCN to NH3 and fixed HCN to form CaCxNy simultaneously. These intermediates (FeNx and CaCxNy) play important roles in the reduction of NOx precursors. A lower emission of NOx precursors was observed with mixed Fe/Ca additives than with either Fe or Ca individually. This is because the generation of Ca2Fe2O5 enhanced the tranformation of intermediates to N2. The transformation of intermediates to N2 was enhanced at elevated temperatures, which allows for the lowest emission of precursors (NH3 and HCN) at 1273 K, with a higher ratio of Ca2Fe2O5 in char.

Aiming at the problems of low crystallization rate and uneven particle size during evaporative crystallization of ammonium sulfate mother liquor (a by-product of ammonia desulfurization of sintered flue gas), this study investigated via orthogonal tests the effects of evaporation temperature, pH, stirring rate, and calcium sulfate addition on crystallization amount, average particle size, and coefficient of variation (C.V.). The results showed: For crystallization amount, the influence degree was evaporation temperature>pH>stirring rate>calcium sulfate addition; for average particle size, it was stirring rate>pH>evaporation temperature>calcium sulfate addition; for C.V. value, it was stirring rate>pH>calcium sulfate addition>evaporation temperature. Crystal morphologies included hexahedral, columnar, lamellar, etc., with aggregation under some conditions. Crystals contained calcium, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur elements(Ca, N, O, S); Ca content increased with calcium sulfate addition. Ammonium sulfate crystals' diffraction peaks matched pure ammonium sulfate, with the highest peaks at pH 5.0, 250 rpm stirring, 3500 mg·L −1 calcium sulfate, and 333.15K.

The rapid advancements in solid-state lighting have underscored the need for efficient and thermally stable phosphors for light-emitting diode (LED) applications. Herein, a red phosphor CaSc 2 O 4 :Eu 2+ ( λ ex = 450 nm, λ em = 650 nm) is synthesized employing a non-stoichiometric strategy to increase photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQY). Spectroscopic and crystallographic properties analysis confirm that the red emission band originates from Eu 2+ ions occupying a single Ca 2+ site with significant nephelauxetic effects and crystal field splitting. Excessive CaCO 3 additions promote the reduction of Eu 3+ and an increase of trap concentration, enhancing the PLQY from 24% to 61% and improving the emission intensities at 150 °C from 8% to 41% of that at room temperature. Versatile LED light sources, including high-quality white LED, red LED in plant growth, and the integrated pixelated intelligent LED matrices have been explored for the practical applications. This study proposes an optimized strategy to enhance the efficiency and thermal stability of Eu 2+ -doped oxide-based red phosphors for multifunctional lighting applications.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted much attention for their high energy densities and low cost. However, the unstable solid-liquid interphase seriously restricts the development and application of SIBs. Herein, Ca(ClO 4 ) 2 as a new-type electrolyte additive is developed to engineer the solid-liquid interphase of carbon-coated anodes. In the electrolyte with an appropriate concentration of Ca(ClO 4 ) 2 , Ca 2+ can insert into the carbon coating and form a passivation layer during the first cycle, reducing the irreversible sodium-ion capture in the carbon coating and the electrolyte decomposition at the solid-liquid interface. Thus, the carbon-coated anode with a thin and stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formed realizes the superior sodium storage performance with enhanced sodium-ion diffusion kinetics. Specifically, after adding 0.015 M Ca(ClO 4 ) 2 into the electrolyte, the reversible capacity of carbon-coated TiO 2 anode could be greatly improved from 271.2 mAh g −1 to 335.1 mAh g −1 at 50 mA g −1 , with the initial coulombic efficiency increasing from 41.2 % to 48.7 %. This study provides an alternative strategy to optimizing the SEI layer of carbon-coated TiO 2 anode for superior sodium storage property, which also can be applied to other carbon-coated anodes for SIBs.
