Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are reckoned effective for removing persistent and recalcitrant pollutants by reactive oxygen species (ROSs), including hydroxyl radicals (•OH), sulfate radicals (SO 4 • - ), and superoxide radicals (•O 2 - ), as well as singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ). In this work, the Mo 2 C quantum dots enriched N-doped graphitic carbon layers (Mo 2 C QDs/NGCLs) were constructed via a facile two-step methodology. Interestingly, the Mo 2 C QDs/NGCLs acted as a highly efficient cocatalyst and/or catalyst simultaneously in AOPs, in particular visible-light-driven (VLD) Fenton and VLD PMS activation. In the hydroxyl radical-based AOPs (•OH-AOPs), it exhibited a remarkable removal efficiency for a range of aromatic organic pollutants , including rhodamine B (RhB) (99.9 %), phenol (90 %), benzophenone-3 (BZP) (83 %), methyl orange (MO) (58 %), methyl blue (MB) (89 %), ibuprofen (IBU) (100 %), and carbamazepine (CBZ) (50 %). Sulfate radicals-based AOPs (SR-AOPs) effectively degrade RhB (72 %), MO (83 %), IBU (70 %), and BZP (100 %). Thus, the present findings confirmed the potential of transition metal carbides for AOP applications and established a solid theoretical and technical basis for further research.

Novel poly(butylene succinate-butylene furandicarboxylate/polyethylene glycol succinate) (PBSF-PEG) was synthesized using two-step transesterification and polycondensation in the melt. There are characterized by intrinsic viscosity, GPC,1H NMR, DSC, TGA, tensile, water absorption tests, and water degradation at different pH. GPC analysis showed that PBSF-PEG had high molecular weight with average molecular weight (Mw) up to 13.68 × 104g/mol. Tensile tests showed that these polymers possessed good mechanical properties with a tensile strength as high as 30 MPa and elongation at break reaching 1500%. It should be noted that the increase of PEG units improved the toughness of the polyester material. In addition, the introduction of PEG promoted the water degradation properties of PBSF, and the copolymer showed a significantly faster water degradation rate when the PEG unit content was 20%. This suggests that the amount of PEG introduced could be applied to regulate the water degradation rate of the copolymers. Hence, these new polymers have great potential for application as environmentally friendly and sustainable plastic packaging materials.Keywords:biodegradable polyester;poly(butylene succinate);hydrolysis degradation;poly(ethylene glycol)

Metal ions are key components in atmosphere that potentially affect the optical properties and photochemical reactivity of atmospheric humic-like substances (HULIS), while this mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that atmospheric HULIS coupled with Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Al3+ exhibited distinct optical properties and reactive intermediates from that of HULIS utilizing three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The HULIS components showed light absorption that increased by 56% for the HULIS-Fe3+ system, fluorescence blue shift, and fluorescence quenching, showing a certain dose–effect relationship. These are mainly attributed to the fact that the highly oxidative HULIS chromophores have a stronger complexing ability with Fe3+ ions than the other metal ions. In addition, triplet organics (promoting ratio: 53%) and reactive oxygen species (promoting ratio: 82.6%) in the HULIS-Fe3+ system showed obvious generation promotion. Therefore, the main assumption of the photochemical mechanisms of atmospheric HULIS in the HULIS-Fe3+ system is that Fe3+ ions can form 3HULIS*-Fe3+ complexation with photoexcited 3HULIS* and then transition to the ground state through energy transfer, electron transfer, or nonradiative transition, accompanied by the formation of singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. Our results provide references for evaluating the radiative forcing and aging effect of metal ions on atmospheric aerosols.

Lignin and glyoxal are potential sustainable substitutes for preparing lignin-based epoxy resins but exhibit poor flammability ; although lignin incorporation enhances the charring capacity of thermosetting materials, intense burning occurs on ignition. A metal-organic framework (P-MOF) comprising cobalt and phosphorus/nitrogen components was therefore synthesized to improve fire safety. Limiting oxygen index (LOI) and vertical burning tests (UL-94) indicate excellent flame retardancy, with a higher LOI value and V-0 rating level achieved after P-MOF addition. Cone calorimeter tests investigating gaseous inhibition of epoxy matrixes reveal that heat release and smoke production dramatically decrease on addition of P-MOF because of fire quenching (phosphorus organic component) and smoke suppression (cobalt component). Synergy between lignin and P-MOF components suppressed combustion of condensed phases, producing more char residues with a higher degree of graphitization. A mechanism for the flame retardancy of the epoxy composite is proposed, which highlights the promise of P-MOF additives for reducing fire hazards due to cobalt-catalyzed CO oxidation during epoxy burning.

Nitro compounds are widely used in modern industries. Among them, 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNH) is extremely harmful. It is of great significance to develop methods for the detection of DNH. In this work, chitosan was used as the substrate material, and fluoroborondipyrrole (BODIPY) was used as the fluorophore. Chitosan was endowed with the fluorescence sensing ability by the introduction of BODIPY units. First, BODIPY derivatives (NO-3 and BO-1) with an alkynyl group (CC) were synthesized. Second, small molecules NO-4 and BO-2 with an aldehyde group (–CHO) were obtained. Finally, the –NH2 groups on chitosan underwent a click reaction (–NH2/CC) and a Schiff base formation reaction occurred (–NH2/–CHO) to form three polymer probes C1, C2 and C3. CC formed in the click reaction can interact with DNH and can be used as recognizing sites for DNH. These chitosan probes have good thermal stability and could selectively recognize DNH, showing notable fluorescence quenching effects, which are visible to the naked eye. DNH is a typical electron-deficient compound, and the polymer fluorescent probe contains electron-rich groups, which makes it easier for the two species to combine and cause fluorescence changes. C1 is flexibly cross-linked, C3 is rigidly cross-linked, and C2 has a non-crosslinked structure, and they show different rheological properties. This work expands the application of chitosan.

The sensomics approach was applied to elucidate the flavor profile of Chinese steamed breads (CSBs) fermented by different fresh and dry yeast, respectively. The quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) led to the establishment of seven sensory attributes. Results noted that fresh yeast CSBs were characterized by milk, bouquet, sweet, and sour attributes, while the corresponding dry yeast CSBs exhibited wheat and yeast attributes. According to OAVs ≥1, 34 aroma-active chemicals were shown to be significant odorants. Isoamyl alcohol, 2,3-butanediol, benzoic acid , acetoin, hexanal, and indole had a significant contribution to the different aroma profiles of dry and fresh yeast CSBs. The result of correlation analysis showed that 2,3-butanediol and benzoic acid were correlated with sweet, milk, and sour attributes, hexanal and indole were related to bouquet attribute, and acetoin was associated with flour. Further aroma recombination confirmed the contribution of these key components in flavor discrimination of CSBs. These results will provide guidance for the yeast-CSBs flavor evaluation, improvement, and quality control.

Fe(II)-activated potassium periodate (KIO4) oxidation was used to improve the dewaterability of waste-activated sludge for the first time. Compared with those of raw sludge, the capillary suction time (CST), specific resistance filtration (SRF), and water content of filter cake (WC) of sludge treated using the Fe(II)/KIO4process under the optimal conditions (i.e., the initial pH = 6.8, KIO4dose = 1.4 mmol/g volatile suspended solids, Fe(II)/KIO4molar ratio = 1.2) decreased by 64.34%, 84.13%, and 6.69%, respectively. For conditioned sludge flocs, the Zeta potential and particle size were increased, and hydrophilic proteins in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were partly degraded, accompanied by the transformation of tightly bound EPS into soluble EPS and the conversion of dense sludge flocs into loose and porous ones. During Fe(II)/KIO4oxidation, Fe(IV) and the accompanying•OH were determined as the predominant reactive species and the underlying mechanism of sludge EPS degradation was proposed. This work provides a prospective method for conditioning the sludge dewaterability.Keywords:sludge dewaterability;ferrous ion;potassium periodate;extracellular polymeric substances

This study investigated a novel magnesium carbon micro-electrolysis (Mg-C ME) system for strengthening the removal of phenolic compounds in wastewater. The effects of the Mg/C mass ratio, aeration intensity, initial pH and reaction time on the degradation of three phenolic compounds and the COD removal efficiency in the simulated wastewater were evaluated using one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method. The optimum values obtained for the Mg/C mass ratio, aeration intensity, initial pH and reaction time were 3:1, 4.0 L/(L·min), 5.0 and 2.5 h, respectively. The experimental removal rates of catechol, resorcinol, and phenol, under the mentioned conditions, were obtained to be 95.6%, 71.5%, and 48.8%, respectively. Meanwhile, the COD removal rates were 63.8%,44.7%,34.0%, respectively. Moreover, experiments were designed and analyzed based on the box-based designing response surface (BBD-RSM) method. According to the results, the Mg/C mass ratio was the most significant variable showing incremental effect on the removal efficiency of catechol in a way that maximum removal efficiency of catechol was achieved in Mg/C mass ratio of 3.23:1. The validation experiments showed that the maximum removal efficiency of catechol was 96.24% under optimization conditions. Resorcinol degradation characteristics analysis indicated that the Mg-C ME system performed a key function in phenolic compounds elimination. Results showed that the Mg-C ME has a considerable capability in removing the phenolic compounds and COD. Thus, it could be considered as an efficient pretreatment choice for treating phenolic wastewater in the future.

In this study, a nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) system was constructed to purify a phenol solution in water. During the process, the influences of several critical operating parameters including the NiFe2O4amount, PS dosage, MW power, initial pH value, and different natural water anions were systematically studied. The results indicated that the constructed system performed excellently regarding the removal efficiency (97.74%) of phenol within 30 min. Meanwhile, the influence of co-existing anions such as Cl−, NO3−, H2PO4−, and HCO3−was also studied, which displayed an inhibiting action on phenol degradation, while HA facilitated it. To explore the reaction mechanism of this system, major free radical quenching experiments were conducted, and it was confirmed that both SO4•−and HO• were primary radicals. Moreover, stability experiments confirmed the apt stability of the NiFe2O4system. Besides, the mineralization and toxicity analysis performed during phenol degradation also confirmed the superiority of the as-constructed system. Furthermore, the possible degradation mechanism of phenol was proposed. Hence, this system could be applied in advanced wastewater treatment.Keywords:persulfate;microwave;sulfate radicals;phenol;nickel ferrite

Red dragon fruit peel is a pectin-rich fruit waste that is a potential source of prebiotics and whose different sources and structures will influence its prebiotic function. Thus, we compared the effects of three extraction methods on the structure and prebiotic function of red dragon fruit pectin, the results showed that the citric acid extracted pectin produced a high Rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) region (66.59 mol%) and more side-chains of Rhamnogalacturonan-I ((Ara + Gal)/Rha = 1.25), which can promote bacterial proliferation significantly. The side-chains of Rhamnogalacturonan-I may be an important factor in that pectin can promote the proliferation of B. animalis. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the prebiotic application of red dragon fruit peel.

Biobased co-polyesters poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene furandicarboxylate) (PBSF) is prepared by transesterification and polycondensation of dimethyl succinate (DSMu), dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (MDFD) and 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO). GPC analysis shows that PBSF has high molecular weight with weight average molecular weight ( M w ) up to 11 × 10 4 g/mol. Due to the low -COOH content, PBSF also has excellent thermal stability, which is beneficial to the polyester processing. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that PBSF are semi-crystalline materials, with T m ranging from 116 to 101°C. Tensile tests showed that theses polymers possess high tensile strength (30–22 MPa) and elongation at break as high as 562%, which is prominently higher than that of commercial poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and most biodegradable packaging materials. It should be noted that the increase of BF units improves the UV shielding properties of polyester materials. Moreover, the incorporation of furan ring promoted the enzymatic degradation of PBS, and PBSF showed a significantly faster biodegradation rate when the BF unit content is 5%. PBSF polyester has excellent thermal properties, tensile properties, UV shielding properties and biodegradable properties. Therefore, these new bio-based polymers have great potential to be applied as environmentally friendly and sustainable plastic packaging.

The azobenzene non-covalent bonding grafting graphene composite (GN-Py-AZO) is fabricated by π-π interaction between Py-AZO (with a pyrene ring, a hydrophilic group and azobenzene structure) and graphene, which is confirmed by FT-IR, 1 HNMR, XRD, UV–vis and XPS. The impact resistance, hardness and hydrophobic properties of the composite polyurethane coating (PU) are significantly increased after adding GN-Py-AZO in PU. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization curves show that GN-Py-AZO improves effectively the anti-corrosion performance of the composite polyurethane coating and 0.5% GN-Py-AZO/PU composite coatings have best anti-corrosion performance. FT-IR and SEM are applied to investigate the weather-resistance of PU films which showed that 0.5% GN-Py-AZO/PU films had the weakest changes and can maintain the basic planar morphology without defects such as wrinkles, big cracks and protrusions after UV aging for 650 h with the best UV-aging resistance. In conclusion, 0.5% GN-Py-AZO/PU showed excellent overall performances in weathering resistance and anti-corrosion. The weathering-resistance and anti-corrosion mechanism of GN-Py-AZO/PU composite coating is also discussed.
