Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is a promising energy storage method because of its high energy storage density and long-term storage ability. The reactor is the most critical part of the TCES system, and the fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is a novel reactor, which is not restricted by the low effective thermal conductivity of energy storage materials. However, there is little theoretical guidance about the design and operation of the FBR for a TCES system. In this study, we investigated the performance of an FBR using MgO/Mg(OH) 2 as reaction materials by establishing a numerical model followed by experimental validation. The influence of operating parameters on the bed temperature was discussed based on numerical results. According to the sensitivity analysis, the reactor inner diameter, material mass, and inlet gas velocity were the main factors affecting the bed temperature. The optimal boundary surface temperature was analyzed, which influences the proportion of TCES in the total heat storage.

The precipitation of CaCO3 and its kinetics for the CaCl2–CO2–Mg(OH)2–H2O system were systematically studied to develop a novel process for eliminating solid and liquid waste from the Solvay soda process. The effects of operating conditions including temperature, CaCl2 concentration, flow rate of CO2, and stirring speed on the reaction kinetics were experimentally determined. The results revealed that low temperature, high CO2 flow rate, and fast stirring speed can accelerate the reaction rate, and the mass transfer of CO2 is the controlling step. An MSMPR crystallizer was used to obtain the experimental crystal size distribution (CSD). A simplified population balance equation (PBE) was used to correlate the parameters on the basis of supersaturation. The soda solid and liquid wastes discharged from the Solvay industry were used as raw material to test the new process and validate the methodology. The precipitated CaCO3 consists of calcite or aragonite with high purity and uniform CSD. A double-effect evaporative-cooling crystallization process to recover MgCl2·6H2O and NaCl was simulated with help of Aspen plus and the electrolyte-NRTL (ELENRTL) model, suggesting economic benefits.

New porous carbonaceous materials are anticipated in the energy storage and environmental application. In the present study, a new carbonaceous composite with hierarchically porous structure was prepared from Mg(OH) 2 pre-filled PAN based membrane for the first time. The obtained carbonaceous composite contains 54.1% C, 26.8% O, 6.2% N and 5.6% Mg. Afterwards, the composite was tested as a supercapacitor and dye adsorbent. Its special capacitance reached 278 F/g at the scan rate of 0.5 A/g, and 186 F/g at the scan rate of 50 A/g, which outperforms most of supercapacitors obtained from the same precursor. A good cycling stability (98% in 5000 cycles) and a high power density (about 7000 W/kg) are achieved. As a dye adsorbent, the composite shows a high MO adsorption capacity of 1170 mg/g, much higher that of the active carbons. These results indicate an effective method to prepare new carbonaceous materials or to treat those disfunctional membranes.

In recent years, microbial pollution has become a serious environmental problem, and the release of microorganisms into the water environment seriously threatens human health. As environment-friendly and low-cost antibacterial agents, Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles (M-NPs) have garnered considerable attention for their small size, innocuity, no drug resistance, chemical stability and thermal stability. However, little is known about the physiological changes that bacteria undergo in the presence of M-NPs. In this work, the antibacterial mechanism of M-NPs synthesized by applying the coprecipitation method was investigated using Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a model system. The oxygen vacancies on the M-NP surface, which can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS, ·O2−, H2O2, and ·OH), were examined via O2-temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD). Abnormality in three central metabolic pathways (energy, glucose and tricarboxylic acid cycle) induced by M-NPs was detected by analyzing the activity of respiratory chain dehydrogenase, gluconokinase (GK) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). The downregulated activity and gene expression levels of GK confirmed that M-NPs play an inhibitory role, and these physiological changes result in cell death. Thus, M-NPs have great potential in the field of preventing and controlling microbial pollution.

The utilization of renewable biomass cellulose in treating pollution of heavy metal ions (HMIs) is one of overarching and appealing strategies, because it simultaneously satisfies sustainable development and resolves ever-increasing environmental issue. In this regard, the composite cellulose@Mg(OH) 2 was prepared via a facile method and explored for its use as water treatment agent. It is demonstrated that the smaller and thinner hexagonal Mg(OH) 2 flakes are constructed onto the cellulose substrate by self-assembling; two components are chemically coupled via hydrogen bonds and Mg-O c (cellulose oxygen) dative bonds; what’s more, the coupling of cellulose with Mg(OH) 2 (1 0 1) facet is much more preferential than with (0 0 1) facet. The resultant composite material shows remarkable HMI removal performance: large capacities of 734.9, 595.8 and 1473.1 mg g −1 for Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ , respectively. Further assisted by good shaping property of the cellulose substrate, the composite is capable of being made into filter, which practically separates HMIs and purifies wastewater with high removal efficiency (99.99%) for Cd 2+ even after operating for 110 days and potable water can be obtained. The mechanism is delineated with removal models and characterizations of HMI-recovered products.

A novel spinning method that integrates electrospun nanofiber strips into yarn structures has been developed to produce multifunctional yarns. The resulting yarn exhibited a core-sheath structure, with a core composed of tannic acid-modified magnesium hydroxide/thermoplastic polyurethane (TA@MH/TPU) nanofiber strip, sheathed by either pure cotton or cotton/sodium alginate blended fibers. The TA modification improved the dispersion of MH within the TPU matrix, leading to enhanced membrane strength compared to unmodified MH/TPU at equal loadings. The film containing 7% TA@MH/TPU demonstrated optimal mechanical properties (breaking strength of 1.43 MPa, elongation of 122.93%), flame retardancy (limiting oxygen index of 27.1%), and antibacterial efficacy killing ratios of 80.87% against E. coli and 85.07% against S. aureus . Yarns fabricated with this film, the TA@MH/TPU-cotton (CMSCY) retained the antibacterial functionality (67.48% against E. coli and 79.05% against S. aureus ), and the TA@MH/TPU-cotton/sodium alginate (C/SAMSCY) achieved the flame retardancy with a limiting oxygen index of 27.8%. Notably, the CMSCY yarn showed a high tensile strength of 1.53 MPa, which was 15 times that of the TA@MH/TPU nanofiber film, addressing the application limitations of nanofiber membranes caused by their low mechanical strength. Given that electrospun membranes can be readily functionalized, this spinning method offers a promising strategy for producing composite yarns, particularly for developing multifunctional textile fabrics.

The ever-growing contamination of water resources generated by heavy metals is posing significant threat to sustainable development, and urging the necessity of safe disposal. In this work, we designed a facile method to prepare carbon dots/Mg(OH) 2 (marked as CDs/Mg(OH) 2 ) composite, which enables to remove and recover potentially toxic metal of Cd 2+ from water. The newly-prepared CDs/Mg(OH) 2 features a hierarchical petaloid-array structure and has large specific surface area of 96.2 m 2 g −1 . It is evident that the composite is composed of Mg(OH) 2 slices, to which CDs are attached. Density functional theory calculation recognized the composite microstructure at the atomic level. Weak chemical coupling between sub-units were borne out by optimized structures, energetics, infrared vibrations, and electronic structures. The CDs/Mg(OH) 2 composite shows high removal capacity and long durability while treating Cd(II)-contaminated water. The incorporation of CDs could regulate and control the up-taking rate of Cd 2+ ions and consequently fabricate well-dispersed 1D nanowires of Cd(OH) 2 . The corresponding mechanism was proposed. Specifically, the sample CDs/Mg(OH) 2 -60 reaches 1015.4 mg g −1 removal capacity; it can be used for 12 cycles and still keep removal efficiency as high as 98.6%.

In this study, flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) was successfully coated with nano-Mg(OH)2 platelets. Due to the strong interaction between chitosan and nano-Mg(OH)2, it was possible to yield modified foam with a weight-gain of up to 15 wt% by depositing one chitosan layer and one nano-Mg(OH)2 layer. Meanwhile, the adsorption isotherms of Cu2+ on FPUF covered with 10 wt% coating (FPUF-10) shows the Langmuir behavior. It was found that for the FPUF-10, the removal % for Cu2+ after 30 min and 50 min treatment were 86% and 90%, respectively. Moreover, the maximum removal % could reach up to 95%.

Abundant salts and complex constituents pose challenges to the enrichment of trace-level uranyl from field water samples. On the basis of the chemical behavior of the uranyl cation in several physical–chemical conditions (in the presence of MgCl2 etc.), we developed a facile and green strategy to improve the uranyl extraction from field water samples, different from the traditional way with organic impregnation. In our systems about nano-Mg(OH)2 treating salt lake brine, when the adsorbent is pretreated with a trace amount of UO22+ ion, the ability to extract uranyl from brine can increase by 2–5 times. The molecular dynamics simulation and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy analysis show that, in the preadsorption stage, UO22+ ions can steadily bind to the Mg(OH)2 (001) surface because of the interaction with surface hydroxyl groups. When pretreated Mg(OH)2 was exposed to brine, the coordination interaction between the preloaded UO22+ ion and the [UO2(CO3)x(2x–2)–] in solution engenders good selectivity and affinity for uranyl over competitive ions in brine. Besides, the coordination number of UO22+ by carbonate oxygen is large, which further facilitates subsequent adsorption. Such strategy does not introduce other impurities and can apply to metal-oxides-type adsorbents, e.g., TiO2. This study should shed light on further improvement of efficient uranyl extraction from field samples and give insights into the mechanism understanding of uranyl adsorption in real systems.

This work aims at the investigation of nano-Mg(OH)2 as a promising adsorbent for uranium recovery from water. Systematic analysis including the uranium adsorption isotherm, the kinetics and the thermodynamics of adsorption of low concentrations of uranyl tricarbonate (0.1–20 mg L−1) by nano-Mg(OH)2 was carried out. The results showed a spontaneous and exothermic uranium adsorption process by Mg(OH)2, which could be well described with pseudo second order kinetics. Surface site calculation and zeta potential measurement further demonstrated that UO2(CO3)34− was a monolayer adsorbed onto nano-Mg(OH)2 by electrostatic forces. Accordingly, the adsorption behavior met the conditions of the Langmuir isotherm. Moreover, in most of the reported literature, nano-Mg(OH)2 had a higher UO2(CO3)34− adsorption affinity b, which implied a higher adsorption amount at equilibrium in a dilute adsorbate system. The significance of the adsorption affinity b for choosing and designing adsorbents with respect to low concentration of resources/pollutants treatment has also been assessed.

This work shows how the rate parameter of the proposed kinetic model is highly suitable for adequately comparing the temperature-dependent thermal stability behavior of different compounds. This means that a simple plot of the rate parameter versus temperature for polymers containing fillers of different natures or in different concentrations allows for establishing the temperature ranges in which each filler is more efficient in improving thermal stability. Since linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is used in a wide range of applications, its thermal degradation is a crucial aspect to consider for its optimal use. This work examines the effect of magnesium hydroxide (MH) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the thermal degradation of LLDPE in a non-oxidizing atmosphere using isothermal data. Experimental data were obtained by thermogravimetry (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere at different temperatures. A kinetic study was performed using a model-fitting method based on logistic derivative functions. The method consists of initially fitting the experimental mass loss rate curves using nonlinear methods with logistic derivative functions. One of the fitting parameters represents the degradation rate. The kinetic significance is primarily described by the dependence of the rate parameter, used in the fittings, on the temperature. That dependence can be expressed in two equivalent ways: either by a characteristic time and temperature, or by the parameters of the classical Arrhenius equation—activation energy and pre-exponential factor. Ultimately, by comparing the kinetics of LLDPE and its composites, it was possible to establish the stabilizing effect of the fillers as a function of temperature. More importantly, this methodology provides a very clear and direct way to compare how the stabilizing effects of fillers of different natures and at different ratios vary across temperature ranges. The observed temperature-dependent stabilization effects in LLDPE composites underscore the critical need for precise filler selection tailored to specific operational temperature ranges, offering vital design guidelines for enhanced thermal management in practical applications.

Electroless amorphous nickel (Ni)–phosphorus (P) (Ni P) alloy coatings were successfully achieved on magnesium alloys using an environmentally friendly and facile Mg(OH) 2 conversion film, followed by AgNO 3 activation. The success of the coating was confirmed through scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction characterizations. Electrochemical tests showed that the charge transfer resistance of the newly developed electroless Ni P plating coating, which had a horizontally stacked Mg(OH) 2 nanosheet primer (Mg(OH) 2 /pH 14/ENP), was significantly higher than that with a vertically grown Mg(OH) 2 nanosheet underlayer (Mg(OH) 2 /pH 10/ENP) or that with a phosphate pretreatment (ENP). The measured corrosion current density of the Mg(OH) 2 /pH 14/ENP coating was 1.08 μA cm −2 , one magnitude smaller than that of the ENP coating. Notably, the ENP coating exhibited severe galvanic corrosion , peeling off after only 24 h of the neutral salt spray (NSS) test. In contrast, the Mg(OH) 2 /pH 14/ENP surface showed no visible corrosion cavities or signs of galvanic corrosion even after 120 h of the NSS test or 21 d of exposure to a NaCl solution. These results indicate that the as-prepared coating possesses a strong inhibition capability against galvanic corrosion between the Ni layer and the magnesium alloy, providing long-lasting corrosion protection .
