The conventional flue gas treatment technologies require high capital investments and chemical costs, which limit their application in industrial sectors. This study developed a sulfur-cycling technology to integrate sulfide production by biological sulfur reduction and simultaneous catalytic desulfurization and denitrification with H2S (H2S-SCDD) for flue gas treatment and sulfur recovery. In a packed bed reactor, high-rate sulfide production (1.63 ± 0.16 kg S/m3-d) from biological sulfur reduction was achieved using organics in wastewater as electron donors at pH around 5.8. 93% of sulfide in wastewater was stripped out as H2Sg, which can be a low-cost reducing agent in the H2S-SCDD process. Over 90% of both SO2 and NO were removed by the H2S-SCDD process under the test conditions, resulting in the formation of sulfur. 88% of the input S (H2Sg and SO2) were recovered as octasulfur with high purity. Besides partial recycling to produce biogenic sulfide, excessive sulfur can be obtained as a sellable product. The integrated sulfur-cycling technology is a chemical-saving and even profitable solution to the flue gas treatment in industrial sectors with wastewater available.

In this study, a highly efficient bifunctional porphyrin-based MOFs with uniformly in-situ generated g-C 3 N 4 quantum dots (g-CNQDs) was fabricated for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and NO removal, in which PtTCPP as the organic ligand and mixed Zr/Ti-oxo clusters as the metal nodes. Compared with most reported Zr-based porphyrin MOFs, the g-CNQDs@Zr-MOFs(Pt)(Zr/Ti) exhibited outstanding hydrogen evolution activity (14511.57 μmol g −1 ) and NO removal rate (31.9 %) under visible light irradiation. The obviously improved photocatalytic performance could be attributed to the significantly enhanced charge separation and transfer rates by the mixed Zr/Ti-oxo clusters via the rapid Ti 3+ /Ti 4+ process. Moreover, the uniformly in-situ generated g-CNQDs via confinement effect in the cavity of MOFs could also improve the utilization of visible light especially through the up-conversion effect, and promote charge carriers separation. This work provides an idea for us to expand the scope of light utilization and promote charge transfer and separation rates of MOFs via functionalizing host MOFs matrix and coupling guest active species to improve photocatalytic performance further.

Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to survey the therapeutic function of resveratrol (RES)-loaded poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(phenylalanine) (PEG-PPhe) on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (II/RI) via the interaction between CSE/H 2 S and iNOS/NO compared to free RES in diabetic rats. Methods Diabetic rats were pretreated with 20 mg/kg of RES or the RES/PEG-PPhe complex and then subjected to 1 h of ischemia and 3 h of reperfusion. Blood and intestines were collected, intestinal pathological injury was estimated, and the contents of body weight, weights of different tissues, blood glucose, serum insulin, HOMA index, serum nitric oxide (NO) and serum sulfureted hydrogen (H 2 S) were observed. The dry/wet intestine ratios, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD); the contents of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), H 2 S, and NO; and the concentrations of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) were observed in the intestinal tissues. Results A significant reduction of weights of different tissues, blood glucose, pathological damage, dry/wet ratios, MDA, NO, iNOS expression and a significant increasement of body weight, serum insulin, HOMA index, SOD, GSH, H 2 S, CSE expression were observed in both treatment groups. However, a greater reduction of weights of different tissues, blood glucose (7.49–13.49 mmol/L for 72 h vs. the control) and pathological damage, iNOS expression, dry/wet ratios (6.14 ± 0.29 vs. 8.51 ± 0.42), MDA (5.01 ± 0.71 nmol vs. 9.98 ± 0.67 nmol), NO (0.52 ± 0.09 μmol vs. 0.99 ± 0.08 μmol in intestinal tissue; 19.29 ± 0.89 μmol vs. 45.23 ± 1.17 μmol in serum) was observed in the RES/PEG-PPhe group relative to the I/R ( P < 0.01 for all); a greater increasement of body weight, serum insulin, HOMA index, SOD (39.79±1.78 U vs. 11.84 ± 1.02 U), GSH (31.25 ± 1.19 mg vs. 10.13 ± 0.64 mg), H 2 S (39.52 ± 1.32 nmol vs. 13.02 ± 1.03 nmol in intestinal tissue; 9.78 ± 0.79 μmol vs. 3.11 ± 0.85 μmol in serum), CSE expression was observed in the RES/PEG-PPhe group relative to the I/R ( P < 0.01 for all). In addition, aminoguanidine (AMI, iNOS inhibitor) reduced I/R injury, and dl -propargylglycine (PAG, CSE inhibitor) increased I/R injury. Conclusions The interaction between CSE/H2S and the iNOS/NO-mediated resveratrol/poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(phenylalanine) complex alleviates intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injuries in diabetic rats.

Fe 2.5 M 0.5 O 4 (M = Mn, Ti and Cu) were investigated for the first time as the catalyst for simultaneous removal of NO and SO 2 through catalytic oxidation-absorption with vaporized H 2 O 2 . The physicochemical properties of as-prepared catalysts were comprehensively characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, TPR, VSM, TG and PL analyses. Activity test results showed that SO 2 can be completely removed under most conditions. However, NO removal was affected by catalyst, H 2 O 2 consumption, reaction temperature, GHSV and coexistence gases (i.e., H 2 O, O 2 , NO and SO 2 ). Mn, Ti and Cu doping in the magnetite can remarkably enhance NO removal. Redox pairs and oxygen vacancy of catalysts were considered as vital factors affecting OH generation. Base on the catalyst characterization and DFT calculation results, the main mechanism of Mn, Ti and Cu doping on the catalytic activity improvement was explained as follows: (a) Mn, Ti and Cu doping can increase the catalyst surface area; (b) Ti on the surface can directly promote the catalytic decomposition of H 2 O 2 ; and (c) Mn and Cu doping can promote the generation of oxygen vacancy and indirectly increase the activity. Moreover, two arrangement forms of an industrial simultaneous removal system for NO, SO 2 and Hg 0 were proposed.

The size of nanoparticles plays a key role in utilizing enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of tumor, where large-sized nanoparticles possess good retention but poor penetration, while small-sized nanoparticles are on the contrary. Although size-reducible nanoparticles have been designed to partially overcome this dilemma, the initial size and complicated tumor microenvironment remain restricting the tumor distribution of nanoparticles. Herein, we employed tumor-specific CD44 targeted, hyaluronidase-degradable hyaluronic acid (HA) and small-sized, renal-clearable, red emission, cationic bovine serum albumin-protected gold nanocluster ( [email protected] ) to successfully construct size-reducible nanoplatform ( [email protected] @HA). By changing the ratio of HA and [email protected] , different initial sizes of [email protected] @HA were prepared and their tumor targeting efficiencies, pharmacokinetic profiles were evaluated. Then 200 nm of [email protected] @HA with optimal EPR effect was screened out to further load paclitaxel (PTX) and indocyanine green (ICG) for chemo- photothermal therapy and nitric oxide (NO) for modulating tumor microenvironment and enhancing drug delivery. The [email protected] @HA-NO 3 showed size-reducible ability under triggering by hyaluronidase and high accumulation in breast cancer with homogenous intra-tumor distribution, suppressed 95.3% of in-situ tumor growth and inhibited 88.4% of lung metastasis growth. In conclusion, we provide a strategy that fully satisfied the concerns in drug delivery to tumor for improved antitumor effect.

In this work, novel (CeO 2 ) x -(CePO 4 ) 1−x (defined as Ce x P 1−x ) nanorod composites were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method, and the influence of CeO 2 on the catalytic performance of CePO 4 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR of NO) was investigated. The catalytic performance evaluation revealed that the Ce x P 1−x catalysts, especially Ce 0.2 P 0.8 exhibited a much better catalytic activity and H 2 O + SO 2 resistance than CePO 4 . Structure characterizations via high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) revealed that the introduction of CeO 2 had a little effect on the shape of CePO 4 nanorods and it could promote the formation of new mesoporous then significantly enhance the surface area of catalyst. The analysis results of active sites suggested that phosphorus was the main adsorption site for NH 3 and the redox sites were controlled by CeO 2 on Ce x P 1−x catalysts. Finally, reaction process study demonstrated that the NH 3 -SCR over Ce x P 1−x was processed via Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism. Combining the results of active sites and reaction mechanism analysis, it was drawn that the superior low temperature activity of Ce x P 1−x could be attributed to its excellent redox properties, which promoted the oxidation of NO then facilitated the process of NH 3 -SCR via “fast SCR”.

A set of MOFs-derived Co 3 O 4 @MnO x hollow-sphere were synthesized to develop a catalyst for the photothermal catalytic removal of NO using acetone as a reducing agent. The study systematically investigated the impact of organic ligands and photoactive substances on energy transfer and photothermocatalytic reactions involving acetone and NO under 5 vol % H 2 O with the catalysts. At 240°C, sample C-5/1 (with an organic ligand added and Co/Mn molar ratio of 5/1) demonstrated 75 % NO conversion and 65 % acetone conversion. The highest catalytic performance was observed in the L-Py sample (with photoactive substance was added), achieving 80 % NO and 69 % acetone conversion at 240°C. The catalyst demonstrated low crystallinity, and the introduction structural defects through ligands adjusted the ratio of active components. Meanwhile, enhanced catalytic performance was attributed to light energy scattering in the inner space of microspheres, resulting in the efficient transfer of 2.17 eV energy with the addition of two photoactive substances. The elevated concentration of surface-active oxygen facilitated oxidation, while M n /M n+1 (Mn 3+ /Mn 4+ and Co 2+ /Co 3+ ) redox cycling supplied surface oxygen in the photothermal low-temperature response. The proposed mechanism for the simultaneous degradation of acetone and NO was elucidated using Density Functional Theory calculations.

Photocatalytic oxidation offers a viable method for removing low-concentration NO from the atmosphere. However, poor oxygen adsorption-activation capacity and high re-combination rate of electrons and holes limit the photocatalytic NO oxidation activity. To over-come these problems, Ni(OH) 2 clusters decorated NiTiO 3 Z-scheme heterojunctions are constructed by a precipitation method. The tight interfacial contacts and built-in electric field between the (0 0 2) crystal facet of Ni(OH) 2 and (0 1 2) crystal facet of NiTiO 3 promote a Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism. This Z-scheme mechanism will enhance the charge-transfer driving force and result in high separation efficiency of the charges, thus leading to an enhanced photocatalytic performance. Importantly, introducing Ni(OH) 2 is considered a promising strategy to enhance the adsorption ability of the O 2 , NO and NO 2 . This might help to increase O 2 activation efficiency and speed up NO deep oxidation, leading to high NO removal efficiency and low NO 2 selectivity. Benefiting from the above excellent properties, the photocatalytic NO oxidation efficiency of Ni(OH) 2 /NiTiO 3 composites is enhanced and the formation of more toxic NO 2 is inhibited compared with that of NiTiO 3 . This work offers a promising and effective route to design efficient NiTiO 3 -based photocatalysts in the application of environmental remediation.

Replacing NH 3 in NH 3 -SCR with VOCs provides a new idea for the simultaneous removal of VOCs and NO x , but the technology still has urgent problems such as high cost of catalyst preparation and unsatisfactory catalytic effect in the low-temperature region. In this study, biochar obtained from sewage sludge calcined at different temperatures was used as a carrier, and different Co and Mn injection ratios were selected. Then, a series of sludge-based biochar (SBC) catalysts were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method for the simultaneous removal of acetone and NO in a low-temperature photothermal co-catalytic system with acetone replacing NH 3 . The characterization results show that heat is the main driving force of the reaction system, and the abundance of Co and Mn atoms in high valence states, surface-adsorbed oxygen, and oxygen lattice defects in the catalyst are the most important factors affecting the performance of the catalyst. The performance test results showed that the optimal pyrolysis temperature of sludge was 400 °C, the optimal dosing ratio of Co and Mn was 4:1, and the catalyst achieved 42.98% and 52.41% conversion of acetone and NO, respectively, at 240 °C with UV irradiation. Compared with the pure SBC without catalytic effect, the SBC loaded with Co and Mn gained the ability of simultaneous removal of acetone and NO through the combined effect of multiple factors. The key reaction steps for the catalytic conversion of acetone and NO on the catalyst surface were investigated according to the Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism, and a possible mechanism was proposed. This study provides a new strategy for the resource utilization of sewage sludge and the preparation of photothermal catalysts for the simultaneous removal of acetone and NO at low cost.

The SiC catalytic membrane combining dust removal and denitration can realize the efficacious treatment of atmospheric pollutants. Unfortunately, a large amount of SiO 2 , formed by the partial oxidation of SiC at a high temperature, results in the decreased chemical resistance of SiC catalytic membrane. In addition, the complicated preparation processes and susceptible to loss of catalytic components under harsh conditions restrict the industrial application of SiC catalytic membranes. Here, the Cu-SAPO-34(D)/SiC catalytic membranes were directly prepared via a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method, which ingeniously utilized the generated SiO 2 as a Si source to participate in the growth of Cu-SAPO-34 zeolites. Excellent binding strength and chemical resistance were simultaneously realized for the SiC catalytic membranes. As a comparison, a Cu-SAPO-34(I)/SiC catalytic membrane was fabricated via the conventional two-step ion-exchange method. The 0.2 Cu-SAPO-34(D)/SiC (Cu molar ratio of 0.2) achieved the best NH 3 -SCR performance among the prepared catalytic membranes for its highly active copper and oxygen species, abundant Lewis acid sites and remarkable redox capacity. When implementing the simultaneous removal of NO and PM, the 0.2 Cu-SAPO-34(D)/SiC catalytic membrane achieved a high NO degradation performance of 98% from 200 to 280 °C, coupled with an excellent PM 0.3 (model dust with average size of 300 nm) filtration performance of 99.99%. These results were better than those of the Cu-SAPO-34(I)/SiC catalytic membrane (92% for NO degradation and 99.98% for PM 0.3 filtration). The one-pot in situ synthesis of Cu-SAPO-34(D)/SiC catalytic membrane with enhanced binding strength and chemical resistance provides a novel strategy for preparation of high-performance SiC catalytic membrane with double benefits.

This work aimed at illustrating a crucial factor towards a sustainable municipal wastewater treatment process , namely, the membrane fouling caused by different statuses of biomass in the membrane bioreactors (MBRs) with no sludge discharge, and tried to explore the essential reasons leading to membrane fouling. By parallelly operating the MBRs with or without bio-carriers for 90 days under the same conditions, their operating characteristics and the accumulated membrane foulants were comparatively studied by using multi-methods. The results indicated that the added bio-carriers mitigated the membrane fouling, especially inhibited the formation of the reversible and the permanent resistance of membrane modules , and reduced the accumulation of foulants on membrane surface . When the trans-membrane pressure value of the bioreactor with bio-carriers reached 32.5 kPa for the first time, the trans-membrane pressure value of the bioreactor without bio-carriers had reached 32.5 kPa for the third time. The growing status of biomass was changed by the bio-carriers, which influenced the micro-habitat of microorganisms and varied the structure of microbial communities within the MBRs. The variation of the growing status of biomass is an essential reason leading to exhibiting differences in the membrane fouling of these MBRs.

A series of CeO 2 @Ce-O-P “multi-core@shell” catalysts were synthesized in this paper for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH 3 . The experimental results had showed that CeO 2 @Ce-O-P-30:3 yielded best SO 2 tolerance of an over 70% deNO x efficiency at 250 °C in the presence of 100 ppm SO 2 for 20 h, which was much higher compared to pure Ce-O-P and CeO 2 samples. Further characterization results indicated that Ce-O-P coating layer could somewhat inhibit sulfur depositing on the catalysts during SCR reaction in the presence of SO 2 , thereby protecting the active sites from SO 2 poisoning. Especially, O 2 -TPD results illustrated that a great amount of active oxygen species were retained on used CeO 2 @Ce-O-P catalyst after a long term reaction. The synergetic effect of “multi-core@shell” structure could be attributed to such enhanced performances. The “core” CeO 2 devoted abundant active oxygen sites to fulfill the SCR reaction. And the “shell” Ce-O-P could not only provide acid sites, but also protect the active oxygen species by avoiding the over-adsorption of SO 2 on the catalyst. This work could provide a new way to increase the sulfur resistance for low temperature SCR catalysts.
