Abstract The purpose of this study was to efficiently convert the sugary food waste (SFW) to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) by ultrasound-[Bmim]Cl pretreatment in ionic liquids (ILs)-ion exchange resin system. The effect of ultrasonic pretreatment on SFW and the effect of ultrasonic frequency, ILs, acid resin and catalyst load on SFW conversion were studied. The kinetic curve and the relationship between products and intermediates were studied. In addition, the structure of SFW was also studied by FT-IR and SEM. The results indicated ultrasound-[Bmim]Cl pretreatment can significantly promote the dissolution of cellulose in SFW, and the optimal ultrasonic frequency, solvent and catalyst were 20 + 40 + 60 kHz, [Bmim]Cl and D001-cc resin, respectively; under the best reaction conditions, the maximum 5-HMF yields from the orange and apple wastes were 42.15 and 44.66 mol%, respectively. The kinetic studies showed that the early stage of 100 and 120 °C was mainly the hydrolysis reaction, and late stage was mainly isomerization and dehydration reaction; the early stage of 140 and 160 °C was a rapid hydrolysis and dehydration reaction, and the late stage was mainly the rehydration reaction of 5-HMF. The relationship between the intermediate precursors and 5-HMF showed that the rates of formation and rehydration of 5-HMF increased with the increase in temperature, and the formation reaction was mainly concentrated in zone II. The FT-IR and SEM results of degradation products showed that cellulose in SFW was more easily hydrolyzed at high temperature and long time. Graphic Abstract

Two-dimensional Co ultrathin metal–organic framework nanosheets (Co-UMOFNs) were synthesized and blended into poly (ether block amide) (PEBA) to prepare composite mixed matrix membranes on PVDF supports for the pervaporation of phenol aqueous solution. The membranes were characterized by XRD, ATR-IR, TGA, CA and SEM measurements. Effects of the Co-UMOFNs loading, feed temperature and feed concentration on phenol separation performance were investigated. The results showed that Co-UMOFNs have a two-dimensional layered morphology and have good compatibility with the PEBA. A “brick and mortar” architecture morphology was achieved after incorporating Co-UMOFNs into the PEBA membrane. The amorphous PE segments in the PEBA were turned into a crystalline structure, restricting the motion of PE segments. The filling of Co-UMOFNs slightly improved the thermal stability and hydrophobicity as well. With the increase of the Co-UMOFNs loading from 0% to 40%, the phenol separation factor increased from 27 to 45, and the total flux decreased from 1.2 kg m -2 h - 1 to 0.42 kg m -2 h - 1 , when separation of 1000 ppm phenol solution at 70 °C. The interlayer galleries induced by the Co-UMOFNs stacking increased the tortuosity, and the crystalline structure of the Co-UMOFNs-PEBA improved the energy barriers of water penetration. Therefore the water flux was inhibited and the phenol separation factor increased. Depression of water permeation can be another protocol to prepare high-performance organophilic pervaporation membranes.

Spent nuclear fuel contains 129 I, which has deleterious effects on human health. This study focused on the immobilization of iodine waste forms via a novel preparation method with B 2 O 3 –Bi 2 O 3 –ZnO–SiO 2 glass at 500–600 °C. The XRD results manifest that the sample with 30 wt % iodine sintered at 550 °C exhibits an obvious amorphous phase. The density of the samples with different iodine contents increases with the temperature increasing, so does the amorphous fraction except for 25 wt %. The FT-IR results reveal the matrix is mainly composed of [BO 3 ], [BO 4 ], [SiO 4 ], and [BiO 6 ]. TGA analysis shows high water content in the prepared samples. SEM-EDS results present that at 550 °C one part of the iodine is chemically immobilized into the glass matrix, and meanwhile, the other physically packed by the vitrified bulk. Our findings demonstrate the potential of the new preparation method for the disposal of iodine waste forms.

A new low-temperature sintered microwave ceramic Ca 5 Ni 2 Mg 2 V 6 O 24 (CNMVO) was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. The effect of sintering process on microstructures and microwave properties of CNMVO ceramics was investigated in detail. XRD results and EDS analyses show that CNMVO ceramics sintered at 850–925 °C are the uniform solid solution with a stable cubic garnet structure. The CNMVO ceramic sintered at 875 °C has the highest Q × f value and is accompanied by the volatilization of vanadium observed by SEM . TG curves demonstrate that the increase of heating rate weakens the vanadium loss. According to the Raman spectra , the Q × f value reaches the maximum value at a heating rate of 2 °C/min, because of the highest cation ordering degree and the densest packing fraction caused by the properly deficient vanadium. As a result, the Ca 5 Ni 2 Mg 2 V 6 O 24 ceramic sintered at 875 °C with a heating rate of 2 °C/min exhibits the best microwave properties: ε r = 8.07, Q × f = 60,613 GHz, and τ f = −32 ppm/°C.

A novel oxidation resistant thermoset polymer (MSCB) with excellent thermo-oxidative stability and good solubility was designed and synthesized. To prevent C/C composites from oxidation, a series of MSCB polymer-based coatings were prepared by precursor infiltration and thermal-curing at 300 ℃. The oxidation behaviour of the MSCB-, MSCB/TiO 2 -, MSCB/ZrO 2 - and MSCB/SiC-coated C/C composites was studied. The improved oxidation resistance of the C/C composites was attributed to the good adhesion of the coatings and the formation of a borosilicate protective layer on the surface of the coatings, which was confirmed by the results of TGA, SEM, XPS, and XRD analyses.

The fast pace of industrial growth during the current decade has seen a large family of dyes employed copiously in the production of various products such as paper and ink. These dyes pollute earth's ecosystems. Researchers look at various ways to degrade these dyes including the use of suitable nanomaterials . ZnO is an important semiconductor material that can be employed for this purpose. In this research work, we optimized the photocatalytic capability of ZnO by co-doping it with 1–7 wt% of Bi and N. The synthesized Bi and N co-doped ZnO nanorod samples showed excellent photocatalytic behavior towards Rhodamine-B (RhB). It was confirmed using XRD and SEM that (5, 2.5) wt.% Bi/N co-doped ZnO nanorods exhibited unique morphology and structure. EDX successfully assessed the elemental composition of the synthesized samples. To provide further insight into its microstructure, the HRTEM and SAED analysis were performed. Optical properties were determined using PL and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The prepared nanorod material degraded almost 89% of RhB in 180 min. The superior degradation ability of co-doped ZnO material when exposed to visible portion of sunlight spectrum is credited to the decrease in the recombination rate of charges and an increase in the depth penetration of photons. The degradation efficiency of Bi/N co-doped ZnO material is enhanced due to reduced recombination rate and increased production of number of defects and oxygen vacancies .

The unavoidable presence of ionic substances in the ore pulp can adversely effects on the separation of pyrite from other valuable metal sulfide ores. Developing new reagents to eliminate this effect is of great significance. In this study, a novel approach was proposed to depress pyrite by utilizing sodium trithiocarbonate (Na 2 CS 3 ) as a depressant in the lime-CuSO 4 system. The results of the micro-flotation experiments showed that a low dosage of Na 2 CS 3 in the lime-CuSO 4 system could effectively depress pyrite. The presence of CuSO 4 in the solution which improves the ability of BX to adsorb on the surface of the pyrite was also revealed by the analysis of LEIS, UV–Vis, and contact angle, while the addition of Na 2 CS 3 effectively hindered the adsorption of BX. XPS and SEM-EDS analysis results showed that Na 2 CS 3 forms a complex with Cu 2+ and adsorbs onto the pyrite surface, thereby impeding the adsorption of the collector and effectively depressing pyrite.

In this article, the structure and electrical properties of BaSn 0.15 Ce 0.35 Hf 0.25 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 Ho 0.05 O 3-δ (referred as BSCHYYbHo in forthcoming discuss) high-entropy ceramic have been investigated. The BCHYYb (short for BaCe 0.5 Hf 0.3 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ ) and BSCHYYbHo pellets were synthesized successfully by the solid-state reaction method. The XRD detection results indicate that there is no secondary phase appeared in BSCHYYbHo and the lattice constant decrease compared to BCHYYb. The surface SEM and EDS images illustrates that BSCHYYbHo is denser than BCHYYb and the elements distribution is more uniform. The DFT calculation proves that BSCHYYbHo has a tend to maintain single phase structure. The electrical properties of BSCHYYbHo is obtained by the DRT analysis and equivalent circuit method based on defect equilibria model. The total conductivity of BSCHYYbHo is about 2.02 × 10 -4 ∼1.01 × 10 -2 S·cm -1 and standard molar hydration enthalpy of BSCHYYbHo is recorded as − 81.8 kJ/mol. Further, the proton, oxygen vacancies and electron holes conductivity activation energies in BSCHYYbHo is estimated to be 0.45 eV, 1.41 eV and 1.60 eV, respectively. Compared to BCHYYb, BSCHYYbHo electrolyte has higher proton concentration and proton transference number. Overall, BSCHYYbHo ceramic with dense structure and high proton transference number is a potential material for application.

In this work, Nd 2 (Zr 1- x Sn x ) 3 (MoO 4 ) 9 (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) (NZSM) ceramics were successfully obtained through conventional solid-state route. Phase analysis, microstructure, and properties were investigated scientifically by XRD , SEM, and network analyzer, respectively. XRD results revealed that all samples with different substitution amounts of Sn 4+ formed the pure phase with R-3c space group. The permittivity was related to the polarizability and the bond of Zr2-O5, the bond of Nd-O2 possessed a positive influence on Q×f . The reduced octahedral distortion and increased bond energy made the temperature coefficient more stable. Infrared reflection spectrum results showed that the permittivity was mainly caused by the absorption of phonon oscillation. The optimum properties ( ε r = 10.34, Q×f = 74,795 GHz, τ f = −13.55 ppm/°C) were obtained when x = 0.02 sintered at 750 °C.

Chiral electrospun fibrous membranes with nanoscale fiber diameter were fabricated from synthetic polymers, poly(L-(-)-menthyl methacrylate) and poly(D-(+)-menthyl methacrylate), respectively, and employed as chiral filters for highly selective separation of chiral compounds. The structure and morphology of chiral nanofibrous membranes were controlled by adjusting the molecular weight of the polymer, the solution concentration, and the composition of solvents, verified with SEM measurements. To enhance the mechanical properties of a chiral nanofibrous membrane, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was employed as second nanofibrous component serving as a skeleton, where a chiral nanofibrous composite membrane was fabricated through a two-nozzle electrospinning approach. Chiral compounds (S)-(-)-α- and (R)-(+)-α-phenethylamine were employed to challenge the separation efficiency of PAN/L-PMnMA and PAN/D-PMnMA nanofibrous composite membranes, in terms of the selective adsorption capability, while high selective factor was achieved for chiral isomers, implying that the chiral nanofibrous composite membrane could be potentially used for the chiral separation of natural products.

Silk fibroin (SF) derived composites play an important role in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering fields. In this study, through a simple, yet green and sustainable approach, ZIF-8@SF composite was firstly prepared, and its morphological, structural, thermal and mechanical properties were systematically studied. After ZIF-8 feeding, no marked side effect for silkworms was found. The as-prepared composite had 3% of ZIF-8, and a maximum strain of 28%, which was 17% higher than that of the natural SF. Results from SEM, FTIR, XRD and TGA showed that the essential characteristics of SF were well inherited with ZIF-8 addition, suggesting that ZIF-8@SF had a great potential of being used in bio-relevant fields. Noticeably, this study is the first time to develop ZIF-8@SF composite, and the in vivo feeding approach is very promising for commercial production.
