Two hydrophilic copolymers containing functional groups such as carboxyl, amido, and sulfonic acid are synthesized using ammonium persulfate-catalyzed free radical polymerization in water. Aluminum sulfate is then introduced, resulting in two polymer complexes that exhibit reduced cement setting times (initial, 1.16–2.44 min; final, 2.02–3.14 min) and improved compressive (24 h, 5.81–7.25 MPa) and flexural (24 h, 2.80–2.99 MPa) strengths compared to pure aluminum sulfate-facilitated cementing (initial, 19.11 min; final, 37.05 min; compressive, 24 h, 5.51 MPa; flexural, 24 h, 2.56 MPa). Following this, ball-milled illite powder is added, and the resulting admixtures further display slightly prolonged setting times (initial, 2.35–2.99 vs. 1.16–2.44 min; final, 3.98–4.35 vs. 2.02–3.14 min), along with comparable compressive strengths (5.85–7.11 vs. 5.81–7.25 MPa) and enhanced flexural strengths (3.92–5.83 vs. 2.80–2.99 MPa). Notably, a unique adhesive pozzolanic clinker, Ca54MgAl2Si16O90(54CaO·MgO·Al2O3·16SiO2), emerges in the presence of illite-based admixtures, contributing to the mechanical strength development of the hydrated mortars. Although illite itself is hydrophobic, the coating of ball-milled illite powder with aluminum sulfate and copolymers facilitates its dispersion into the gaps and pores of the cement matrix during setting, thereby increasing the flexural strength. This work presents an interesting approach to utilizing illite materials in cement applications, which is significant for reducing CO2emissions during cement production and use.

Basic ferric sulfate-arsenates [FeSAsOH, Fe(SO 4 ) x (AsO 4 ) y (OH) z ·nH 2 O] were prepared and characterized to study their potential fixation of arsenic in the oxidizing and acidic environment through a dissolution for 330d. The synthetic solids were well-shaped monoclinic prismatic crystals. For the dissolution of the sample FeSAsOH–1 [Fe(SO 4 ) 0.27 (AsO 4 ) 0.73 (OH) 0.27 ·0.26H 2 O] at 25–45°C and initial pH 2, all constituents preferred to be dissolved in the order of AsO 4 3− > SO 4 2− > Fe 3+ in 1–3 h, in the order of SO 4 2− > AsO 4 3− > Fe 3+ from 1–3 h to 12–24 h, and finally in the order of SO 4 2− > Fe 3+ > AsO 4 3− . The released iron, sulfate, and arsenate existed dominantly as Fe 3+ /Fe(OH) 2+ /FeSO 4 + , HSO 4 − /SO 4 2− /FeSO 4 + , and H 3 AsO 4 0 /H 2 AsO 4 − , respectively. The higher initial pHs (6 and 10) could obviously inhibit the release of Fe 3+ from solid into solution, and the solid components were released in the order of SO 4 2− > AsO 4 3− > Fe 3+ . The crystal tops were first dissolved, and the crystal surfaces were gradually smoothed/rounded until all edges and corners disappeared. The dissociations were restricted by the Fe-O(H) breakdown in the FeO 6 octahedra and obstructed by the OH − and AsO 4 tetrahedra outliers; the lowest concentration of the dissolved arsenic was 0.045 mg/L. Based on the dissolution experiment at 25°C and pH 2, the solubility products ( K sp ) for the basic ferric sulfate-arsenate [Fe(SO 4 ) 0.27 (AsO 4 ) 0.73 (OH) 0.27 ·0.26H 2 O], which are equal to the ion activity products (logˍIAP) at equilibrium, were calculated to be -23.04 ± 0.01 with the resulting Gibbs free energies of formation (Δ G f o ) of −914.06 ± 0.03 kJ/mol.

Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 magnetic nanocrystals (Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 MNCs) are synthesized by thermal treatment of a metal-organic framework (MOF) template, and their physicochemical properties are characterized in detail. The Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 MNCs exhibited highly efficient performance for the catalytic degradation of Bisphenol A (BPA) by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation at various initial pH, catalyst dosage, and PMS concentration. A leaching solution experiment evidenced that PMS activation by the Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 MNCs is a heterogeneous process. Interestingly, scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis demonstrated that HO is the dominant radical for BPA degradation, rather than SO 4 − . The scavenger experiment indicated that the surface-bound radicals may play the crucial role for BPA degradation. Increasing Cl − or decreasing bicarbonate concentrations in solution enhanced the catalytic degradation process significantly through non-radical pathways. The Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 MNCs exhibited desirable stability and reusability, that the spent Mn 0.8 Fe 2.2 O 4 MNCs could be significantly regenerated by thermal treatment at 450 °C in open air. Findings from this study would expand the applications of MOFs and also provide new insights into the enhancement of degradation efficiency during PMS activation processes.

The occurrence of NH 3 -SCR (selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH 3 ) reaction on catalyst surface typically requires acid and redox sites. However, the role of acid-redox interaction on NH 3 -SCR performance is still obscure due to complex acidities and entangled acid-redox sites. Herein, three types of model Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 -CeO 2 catalysts with distinct interfaces are constructed to reveal the effect of acid-redox interaction on NH 3 -SCR performance. That is, SO 4 2- /CeO 2 -VS (vapor sulfation of ceria) with strong acid-redox interfacial contact, SO 4 2- /CeO 2 -WI (wet impregnation), and SO 4 2- /CeO 2 -SG (solid grinding) with limited interfaces. It is found the redox property is significantly disturbed as a result of the electron-withdrawing effect from the sulfate. Theoretical result unravels that the introduction of Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 retards the oxygen vacancy formation over CeO 2 . Due to restricted interfaces in SO 4 2- /CeO 2 -SG, the negative influence from acid sites is greatly alleviated. Further mechanism study discloses the weakened acid-redox interaction actually changes the nature of surface NO x species, resulting in the generation of reactive species (*O-N-O* and cis -N 2 O 2 2- ) and the promotion of surface reaction via Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism.

There is more and more research focusing on the removal of dioxane by advanced oxidation technology at this stage, and this study investigated the efficacy of an advanced oxidation system with UV-activated persulfate (UV/PDS). This method had the advantages of fast reaction rate, simple equipment and convenient operation. Free radical quenching test and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis showed that the main active radicals in the reaction system wereSO4−and ·OH. This study also investigated that the optimal parameters were the initial PDS dosage of 3 mM, the UV intensity of 0.190 mM/cm2, the pH between 5 and 7 and the initial dioxane concentration of 50 mg/L. Additionally, after a reaction time of 150 min, the total organic carbon (TOC) content still remained at 83.53%, which revealed that the mineralization degree of organic matter was not fully achieved through UV/PDS treatment. The concentration ofSO42−in the reaction system was 74.69 mg·L−1, which complied with the standard concentration specified. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the system exhibited an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease, under the influence of the intermediates. It showed that the technology could efficiently degrade organic pollutants.

The photocatalytic technique is an attractive strategy to activate persulfate for generating free radicals in the wastewater purification process. Herein, CdS nanoparticles with unique optical properties were employed to decorate the COF-based photocatalyst (denoted as TpMA) containing C3N4 active units via a feasible method. Interestingly, TpMA decorated with CdS nanoparticles exhibited enhanced optical absorbability and a small charge transfer resistance. Benefitting from the close interfacial connections between CdS nanoparticles and TpMA, the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes could be effectively inhibited. As expected, the obtained CdS@TpMA composites displayed excellent photocatalytic activity, which could activate persulfate to produce SO4−˙ and ˙OH under visible light irradiation. In comparison with pristine CdS nanoparticles and TpMA, the 25% CdS@TpMA composite presented the best photocatalytic degradation ability, and 97.6% of diclofenac sodium, 95.2% of tetracycline and 93.8% of ibuprofen could be effectively removed within 70 min. The corresponding TOC removal efficiencies were more than 60%. More significantly, the 25% CdS@TpMA composite displayed great performance and structural stabilities. Furthermore, a possible photocatalytic mechanism was also proposed. In short, the current work not only provides a promising candidate for degrading drug residues, but also offers some novel viewpoints for further research.

This study develops a series of functional admixtures for ordinary Portland cement based on a synthesized water-soluble terpolymer and its ball-milled composites with aluminum sulfate. The foundational admixture significantly accelerates cement setting, achieving an initial setting time of 4.33 min and a final setting time of 7.98 min, performance that exceeds the Chinese National Standard GB/T 35159–2017 requirements for flash-setting admixtures (which specify ≤5 min for initial setting and ≤12 min for final setting), while delivering a 24-hour compressive strength of 5.0 MPa and flexural strength of 1.6 MPa. The acceleration mechanism is attributed to the in-situ formation of the active intermediate (H 3 O)Al 3 (SO 4 ) 2 (OH) 6 . Incorporating potassium titanate whiskers—A3 derived from anatase (TiO 2 ) and A4 from metatitanic acid (TiO 2 ·H 2 O)—forms microcapsule-structured composites that further enhance performance. The A3-based composite reduces initial setting time to 3.83 min and final setting time to 7.10 min, while significantly improving mechanical strength, achieving a 24-hour compressive strength of 6.8 MPa that nearly meets the GB/T 35159–2017 standard requirement of ≥ 7.0 MPa at 24 h. A4-based whiskers provide comparable acceleration and demonstrate superior long-term flexural strength, reaching 5.1 MPa at 28 days. Mechanistic analysis reveals aluminum species drive rapid setting while whiskers enhance strength through distinctive phase transformations during hydration. Furthermore, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-modified whiskers (both A3 and A4) produce admixtures that function as potent set retarders while simultaneously increasing 24-hour compressive and flexural strengths by 113 % and 91 % respectively compared to plain cement mortar, demonstrating exceptional superplasticizer characteristics. A key finding is the whisker-specific optimization strategy: silane pretreatment benefits A3 for achieving both accelerated setting and high strength, whereas unmodified A4 performs better in the same application. This work elucidates the design principles and mechanisms of tunable multifunctional cement admixtures, establishing strategic pathways for developing advanced construction materials suitable for applications ranging from shotcrete to oil well cementing.

A novel and highly efficient one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles from α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, diphenylacetylene, and amines has been achieved by Pd(OAc)2/Ce(SO4)2/Bi(NO3)3 trimetallic catalytic system. A series of control experiments showed that this overall reaction occurs through a one-pot cascade process combining the steps of decarboxylation of α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids, Wacker-type oxidation of diphenylacetylene, and Debus–Radziszewski annulation of aryl aldehydes and benzil generated in situ, as well as amines. This reaction represents a novel multicomponent reaction using α-hydroxyphenylacetic acids and diphenylacetylene as sources of aryl aldehydes and a β-diketone. This process exhibits a broad substrate scope and a good functional group tolerance to assemble the corresponding polysubstituted imidazoles in excellent yields (72–88%) under mild conditions.

A water-soluble ternary copolymer bearing carboxyl, sulfonic, and amide functional groups was synthesized using ammonium persulfate-catalyzed free radical polymerization in water, resulting in high monomer conversion. This copolymer was then complexed with aluminum sulfate, forming an admixture containing Al(SO 4 )(OH)·5H 2 O, which was subsequently combined with silica gel. Characterization revealed that the synthesized copolymer formed a large, thin membrane that covered both the aluminum compounds and the silica gel blocks. The introduction of this complex admixture, combining the copolymer and aluminum sulfate, not only reduced the setting times of the cement paste but also enhanced the mechanical strengths of the mortar compared to using aluminum sulfate alone. The complex admixture led to the formation of katoite, metajennite, and C 3 A (tricalcium aluminate) in the mortar, demonstrating significant linking effects, whereas pure aluminum sulfate could not completely transform C 3 S within 24 h. Further addition of silica gel to the complex admixture further shortened the setting times of the paste, slightly reduced compressive strength, but improved flexural strength compared to the initial complex admixture. The silicon components appeared to fill the micropores and mesopores of the mortar, accelerating cement setting and enhancing flexural strength, while slightly decreasing compressive strength. This study contributed to the development of new cementing accelerators with improved hardening properties.

In this study, a series of CuMgAl layered double oxides (CuMgAl-LDOs) were obtained via calcination of CuMgAl layered double hydroxides (CuMgAl-LDHs) synthesised via a co-precipitation method. The results show that CuMgAl-LDO can be prepared using an optimal Cu : Mg : Al molar ratio of 3 : 3 : 2, NaOH : Na 2 CO 3 molar ratio of 2 : 1, and calcination temperature of 600 °C. CuMgAl-LDO is a characteristic of mesoporous material with a lamellar structure and large specific surface area. The removal efficiency of sulfameter (SMD) based on CuMgAl-LDO/persulfate (PS) can reach > 98% over a wide range of initial SMD concentrations (5–20 mg L −1 ). The best removal efficiency of 99.49% was achieved within 120 min using 10 mg L −1 SMD, 0.3 g L −1 CuMgAl-LDO, and 0.7 mmol L −1 PS. Kinetic analysis showed that the degradation of SMD was in accordance with a quasi-first-order kinetic model. The stability of the CuMgAl-LDO catalyst was verified by the high SMD removal efficiency (> 97% within 120 min) observed after five recycling tests and low copper ion leaching concentration (0.89 mg L −1 ), which is below drinking water quality standard of 1.3 mg L −1 permittable in the U.S. Radical scavenging experiments suggest that SO 4 · − is the primary active species participating in the CuMgAl-LDO/PS system. Moreover, our mechanistic investigations based on the radical scavenging tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicate that Cu (II) –Cu (III) –Cu (II) circulation is responsible for activating PS in the degradation of SMD and the degradation pathway for SMD was deduced. Accordingly, the results presented in this work demonstrate that CuMgAl-LDO may be an efficient and stable catalyst for the activation of PS during the degradation of organic pollutants.

This study explores an innovative electrochemical strategy for the removal of the highly stable and toxic EDTA-Ni complex found in electroplating wastewater. Utilizing a cobalt-based single-atom catalyst (Co-NC) in an electro-enhanced system, we achieved significant activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) for effective degradation of EDTA-Ni. Under optimal conditions of 40 mA current density and a pH range of 3–7, more than 97% of EDTA-Ni (1 mM) was successfully degraded within 90 min. Through detailed electrochemical experiments, we identified that atomic hydrogen (H*) played a crucial role in the indirect activation of PDS, facilitating the formation of reactive sulfate radicals (·SO4-). Computational analysis using density functional theory (DFT) confirmed that the H*-mediated reduction pathway had a notably low energy barrier (ΔGbs = 0.51 eV), making it the dominant activation mechanism. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) further revealed the primary degradation intermediates, providing insights into the breakdown process of EDTA-Ni. This research underscores the potential of Co-NC catalyst as a highly effective catalyst for treating persistent heavy metal complexes in advanced oxidation systems.

We prepared carbon nanofiber (CCNF) using cellulose as the carbon source in this study and utilized for the first time as the support to enhance the catalytic performance of the cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The catalytic capability of the CoFe 2 O 4 /CCNF nanocomposites activated PMS was investigated through degrading dimethyl phthalate (DMP), a classical organic pesticide pollutant, in water media. The influence factors like CCNF content, nanocomposite and PMS dosage, DMP content, and pH value on the degradation speed were systematically investigated and analyzed. Since CoFe 2 O 4 is a spinel structured molecule which is magnetically separable, the reusability of the prepared CoFe 2 O 4 /CCNF nanocomposites under multiple cycles was also tested. Besides, the degradation intermediates during the catalytic process were also analyzed and identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with a possible degradation mechanism. The results indicated that the prepared nanocomposite had promising catalytic capability in degrading DMP, in which the SO 4 − radicals played the main role as the active oxidation agent. Furthermore, the CoFe 2 O 4 /CCNF nanocomposites exhibited very good stability and reusability. The present study provides a clean biochar supported catalyst which could readily enhance the PMS activation efficiency for recycled decontamination of refractory organic pollutants in water media.
