To simulate the centrifugal short-path distillation process, both two phases and interfacial transport are taken into account simultaneously for the first time. A new computational fluid dynamics model based on the volume-of-fluid and species transport methods is built up to analyze the detailed flow and transfer characteristics. A binary system with dibutyl phthalate-dibutyl sebacate (DBP-DBS) is used as an example for the investigation with both numerical and experimental methods. The residence time and the effects of operating parameters such as evaporator temperature and feed flow rate are explored comparatively. The simulation result for the liquid-film thickness shows a satisfactory agreement with literature data. On the basis of the simulation results, we may also obtain detailed characteristics of the heat and mass transfer such as gradients in temperature and concentration and the liquid overall mass transfer coefficient.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), as an appealing Faradaic material for efficient capacitive deionization (CDI), is limited by unsatisfactory electrical conductivity, inferior removal rate, and restacking. Herein, we develop a CNT/PPy/MoS 2 ternary composite using a robust 3D conductive interconnected structure CNT/PPy, constructed from multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polypyrrole (PPy) doped with dodecyl benzene sulfonate (DBS - ), as the growing substrate to mitigate the aggregation of MoS 2 nanoflakes. In this design, CNT/PPy ameliorates the wettability of the composite, provides convenient movement pathways, a fast charge transport rate, and facilitates ions diffusion process. Moreover, reinforced dispersibility and enlarged interlayer spacing of MoS 2 nanoflakes supply sufficient embedded sites for ion uptake and rapid transfer. Meanwhile, tight chemical coupling of Mo-N-C bonds can maintain the structural integrity of the composite electrode. Particularly, the symmetrical electrode configuration was established to address the kinetical unbalance of HCDI system. Consequently, the CNT/PPy/MoS 2 displays a large specific capacitance of 160.83 F g −1 at 5 mV s −1 , which is nearly 4.33 times that of MoS 2 (37.17 F g −1 ). The optimized CNT/PPy/MoS 2 cell achieves a maximum desalination capacity of 24.8 mg g −1 , ultra-high deionization rate of 5.24 mg g −1 min −1 , and superior capacity retention rate of 92.7% over 25 cycles. In addition, Na + ions were captured by the joint action of cation-exchange of DBS - -doped PPy, electrostatic adsorption of CNTs, and intercalation reaction of MoS 2 . The proposed composite structural design and electrode configuration should be a potential avenue to realize highly efficient deionization.

In this work, we reported a novel proton exchange membrane (PEM) with an ion-conducting pathway. The hierarchical nanofiber structure was prepared via in situ self-assembling 1,3:2,4-dibenzylidene-d-sorbitol (DBS) supramolecular fibrils on solution-blown, sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) (SPES) nanofiber, after which the composite PEM was prepared by incorporating hierarchical nanofiber into the chitosan polymer matrix. Then, the effects of incorporating the hierarchical nanofiber structure on the thermal stability, water uptake, dimensional stability, proton conductivity, and methanol permeability of the composite membranes were investigated. The results show that incorporation of hierarchical nanofiber improves the water uptake, proton conductivity, and methanol permeability of the membranes. Furthermore, the composite membrane with 50% hierarchical nanofibers exhibited the highest proton conductivity of 0.115 S cm−1(80 °C), which was 69.12% higher than the values of pure chitosan membrane. The self-assembly allows us to generate hierarchical nanofiber among the interfiber voids, and this structure can provide potential benefits for the preparation of high-performance PEMs.

A simple and environmentally benign synthetic route to lignin-based epoxy resins is highly desirable. Alkali lignin and glyoxal are promising renewable and sustainable alternatives to phenol and formaldehyde, respectively. Their use is demonstrated to produce lignin-phenol-glyoxal novolac epoxy resins (LPG-NERs) through a simple one-pot synthesis. Flame retardancy of LPG-NERs was improved by functionalization with a N, S modified 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) material (termed DBS) obtained via nucleophilic reaction between DOPO and a N, S containing intermediate. FTIR and 1 H NMR analyses confirmed the successful fabrication of LPG-NERs and SBD. The introduction of lignin and SBD reduced crosslinking of the epoxy network, weakening mechanical properties , but conferred excellent flame retardancy (including vapor and condensed phases) as determined by LOI (34.5%), UL-94 (V-0 rating), and cone calorimetry tests (lower heat release and smoke production, and higher char formation). The SBD structure imparted a desirable vapor mechanism (blowing out phenomenon caused by the fire quenching effect of PO•/PO 2 • radicals and dilution effect from non-condensable gases such as NH 3 , N 2 , SO 2 ), while lignin (a natural biochar precursor) in synergy with SBD imparted superior charring performance.
