Melamine based microporous organic polymers (MBMOPs) have been prepared via a one-pot polymerization using the Schiff base reaction. Various techniques such as FT-IR, Ar adsorption, SEM, TEM, and TG have been used to characterize the textural structure, porosity, and stability of the synthesized MBMOPs. The adsorption isotherms of CO2 and N2 on MBMOPs have been accurately measured at pressures up to 118 kPa and different temperatures. Ascribed to the specific affinity of amine groups for CO2, the robust microporous MBMOPs display excellent CO2 adsorption performance in terms of both capacity, up to 2.8 mmol g–1 at 273 K and 118 kPa, and selectivity over N2. Dual-site Langmuir (DSL) or single-site Langmuir (SSL) model describes well the equilibrium data for the adsorption of CO2 or N2 on MBMOPs, respectively. The binary gas adsorption isotherms predicted by the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) show that the prepared MBMOPs exhibit very high selectivities for CO2 over N2, up to 83.7, for equimolar mixtures of CO2 and N2 at 298 K and 100 kPa. The dynamic CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity against N2 over MBMOPs have been experimentally investigated by breakthrough column technique at 1 bar and 298 K, indicating that a complete separation is available. Remarkably, CO2 capture–regeneration experiments indicate that MBMOPs can be easily regenerated by only purging with He or N2 rather than by raising the temperature, suggesting that MBMOPs are promising candidates of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) adsorbents for the separation of CO2–N2.

A series of Sm- and/or Zr-doped MnO x -TiO 2 catalysts were prepared, and the catalysts exhibited better N 2 selectivity and SO 2 resistance than the undoped MnO x -TiO 2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR). The reasons for the good N 2 selectivity and SO 2 resistance of the catalysts were proposed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that electron transfer between the manganese and samarium species by Mn 4+ + Sm 2+ ↔ Mn 3+ + Sm 3+ redox cycles occurred in the Sm-containing catalysts. Furthermore, electron transfer from Sm 2+ to Mn 4+ suppressed electron transfer from NH 3 to Mn 4+ , inhibiting the formation of NH 2 or NH. Thus, the pathway for NH generation was removed, and the reaction of 2NH + 4NO → 3N 2 O + H 2 O was prevented. Consequently, the N 2 selectivity of the NH 3 -SCR reaction was enhanced. In situ diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy ( in situ DRIFTS) combined with thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and mass spectrometry (TG-DSC-MS) results revealed that the deposition rate of sulfate species decreases after Sm doping, which was also attributed to the suppressed electron transfer from SO 2 to Mn 4+ , i.e., the oxidation of SO 2 to SO 3 . Thus, the catalysts exhibited better SO 2 resistance.

Stimulus-responsive surfactants (N + –C n -N,n = 14 or 16) can stabilize conventional emulsions, Pickering emulsions and oil-in-dispersion emulsions in the presence of oppositely and similarly charged nanoparticles. Rapid demulsification can be successfully achieved by bubbling CO 2 . In the presence of CO 2 , N + –C n -N becomes a hydrophilic Bola-type surfactant, N + –C n -NH + , and is an inferior emulsifier either when used alone or together with charged nanoparticles, resulting in demulsification. In addition, nearly all N + –C n -NH + molecules are present in the aqueous phase after demulsification without contaminating the oil phase. The aqueous phase can be recycled and used again for further emulsification of oils. Compared with the pH responsive systems, there is no accumulation of salt after the gas cycles, and more cycles can be performed. This protocol is a green process and leads to preparation of various temporarily stable emulsions used in oil emulsion transportation, emulsion polymerization, industrial catalysis, nanomaterial synthesis and other fields.

Background Cobalt has a high polarizability and can form a high dispersion potential energy on the surface of zeolite, which is conductive to the capture of CO 2 . Methods For the first time, cobalt-silicon molecular sieves (CSMS) were synthesized by hydrothermal method using cobalt nitrate as the cobalt source and sodium silicate as the silica source without organic template. Significant findings The effects of pH values on the synthesis of molecular sieves were investigated, and the sample CSMS-12 which synthesized at pH = 12, showed the highest specific surface area and pore volume. The specific surface area (S BET ) and Total volume (V Total ) of CSMS-12 are 452.8 m 2 ·g −1 and 0.4 cm 3 ·g −1 , respectively. The result of adsorption test at 273 K and 100 kPa shows that CSMS-12 has the highest CO 2 uptake (1.86 mmol·g −1 ), and the Dual-site Langmuir isotherm model fits well with the experimental result. CSMS-12 has excellent adsorption selectivity (123) of CO 2 /N 2 calculated by IAST method. Furthermore, fixed-bed adsorption breakthrough experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of dynamic CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 separation by CSMS-12 at different temperatures. The above results indicate that it can be applied to the separation of CO 2 in flue gas and biogas.

Constructing high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with highly permeable polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) faces critical challenge of poor interfacial compatibility between MOF fillers and the polymer matrix and difficulty in maintaining a defect-free interface at high filler loading (over 30 %). In this study, a Bi-HHTP loading as high as 50 wt% and uniform dispersion with excellent interfacial integrity is achieved in our high-performance MMMs through the elaborate design of multiple synergistic interfacial interactions, including hydrogen bonding between the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) ligand in the Bi-HHTP filler and the cyano groups in the PIM-1 matrix and π-π stacking between their benzene ring structures. The optimized MMM exhibits a remarkable CO 2 permeability up to 4021 Barrer with an ideal CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 42.1 which substantially outperforms the neat PIM-1 membrane and exceeds the 2019 upper bound. The enhanced separation performance of the MMMs stems mainly from the significant increase in CO 2 solubility selectivity with Bi-HHTP loading, which benefits from the inherent CO 2 affinity of Bi-HHTP and the effective suppression of N 2 dissolution by the rigidification of PIM-1 chain segments induced by strong interfacial interactions. Most importantly, the resulted high-loading MMMs exhibited remarkable structural stability, showing strong resistance to both physical aging and CO 2 -induced plasticization. This strategy overcomes the loading bottlenecks of state-of-the-art MMMs and contributes advanced membrane materials for efficient CO 2 capture.

As a unique polymer of intrinsic microporosity, PIM-1 has great potential in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation with ultra-high permeability. However, the separation performance, e.g. CO 2 /N 2 separation, is still limited by its poor selectivity. In this work, PIM-1-based MMMs containing tartaric acid anion intercalated layered double hydroxides (TA-LDH) nanofillers are successfully prepared. The uniformly dispersed TA-LDH in the PIM-1 matrix contributes to optimizing the stacking of polymer chains for accessible pores, which is conducive to CO 2 diffusion. In addition, the assistant experiment and theoretical calculation point out that the -COO - , –OH between the TA-LDH layers had an affinity for CO 2 , creating a two-dimensional fast transport channel between the enlarged interlayer space. Compared with the pristine PIM-1 membrane, the CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 0.7 % TA-LDH/PIM-1 membrane is increased by 43.19 % and 105.48 %. The excellent gas separation performance with CO 2 permeability of 8343.18 Barrer and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 39.02 exceeds the 2019 Robson upper limit. This paves a new way to improve the gas separation performance of PIM-1-based MMMs and suggests high perspectives for real applications.

The conversion of excess ammonia N into harmless N2 is a primary challenge for wastewater treatment. We present here a method to generate ClO• directionally for quick and efficient decomposition of NH4+ N to N2. ClO• was produced and enhanced by a bifacial anode, a front WO3 photoanode and a rear Sb–SnO2 anode, in which HO• generated on WO3 reacts with HClO generated on Sb–SnO2 to form ClO•. Results show that the ammonia decomposition rate of Sb–SnO2/WO3 is 4.4 times than that of WO3 and 3.3 times than that of Sb–SnO2, with achievement of the removal of NH4+ N on Sb–SnO2/WO3 and WO3 being 99.2 and 58.3% in 90 min, respectively. This enhancement is attributed to the high rate constant of ClO• with NH4+ N, which is 2.8 and 34.8 times than those of Cl• and HO•, respectively. The steady-state concentration of ClO• (2.5 × 10–13 M) is 102 times those of HO• and Cl•, and this is further confirmed by kinetic simulations. In combination with the Pd–Cu/NF cathode to form a denitrification exhaustion system, Sb–SnO2/WO3 shows excellent total nitrogen removal (98.4%), which is more effective than WO3 (47.1%) in 90 min. This study provides new insight on the directed ClO• generation and its application on ammonia wastewater treatment.

Developing novel adsorbents for CO 2 capture and separation offers an efficient approach to relieving global environmental problems. To promote CO 2 capture from flue gas, novel Cr 3 O@MIL-101(Cr) composites was synthesized through packing [Cr 3 O(HCOO) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ]NO 3 into MIL-101(Cr) cages. The resultant composite Cr 3 O@MIL-101(Cr) presents higher CO 2 uptakes at lower pressure ranges, benefiting from the increased content of unsaturated Cr(III) ions and micropores relative to MIL-101(Cr). Meanwhile, IAST selectivity for CO 2 /N 2 mixture reached 50.2 under standard temperature and pressure, outperforming most of the reported materials. Further GCMC simulations reveal that the synergistic effect of [Cr 3 O(HCOO) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ] + , NO 3 − and MIL-101 (Cr) could effectively facilitate the interactions with CO 2 molecules and hinder N 2 molecules from approaching the optimal adsorption sites. Thus the [Cr 3 O(HCOO) 6 (H 2 O) 3 ]NO 3 encapsulated MIL-101(Cr) can be recommended as a promising adsorbent for superior CO 2 /N 2 separation.

2-Hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (2-HMS) is a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, but there are few reports for its preparation. 2-HMS accumulates in phenol-containing wastewater treated with Pseudomonas stutzeri N2. This work has studied the extraction of 2-HMS so that the phenolic wastes of high concentration may be used to produce 2-HMS. When 4.25 mmol/L phenol was degraded by Pseudomonas stutzeri N2, the accumulated 2-HMS can reach 3.79 ± 0.08 mmol/L within 30 h. A saturated solution of NaHSO 3 was added into the 2-HMS culture, and white rod-like precipitates formed gradually. Through SEM, XRD and FT-IR, the precipitates were identified as monoclinic hexagonal crystals of α-hydroxy sulfonate sodium with high purity. In the presence of NaOH, α-hydroxy sulfonate sodium could be reduced to the desired 2-HMS product. The optimized conditions were characterized to be 3 mol/L NaOH solution, 5 min and 50 °C. The conversion rate of α-hydroxy sulfonate sodium was up to 87.3 ± 0.2%, and 0.42 ± 0.02 mmol/L 2-HMS were obtained.

Polydopamine-modified additives have been thus far widely used in the mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. However, very few reports focus on the polydopamine alone and investigate its contribution to the gas separation performance. Herein, the polydopamine-derived submicrospheres (PDASS) were paired with polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) to fabricate high-performance gas separation membranes, through which the effects of PDASS on gas permeability and CO2/N2 separation performance were systematically investigated. The addition of PDASS provides a 1.6-fold enhancement in CO2/N2 selectivity together with acceptable gas permeability as compared to the original polymeric membrane. Such enhanced separation behavior is supposed to stem from the densified membrane microstructure induced by the strong intermolecular interactions between PIM-1 and PDASS (i.e., charge transfer, π–π stacking, and hydrogen bonding). Importantly, the physical aging behavior, as judged by gas permeability, is retarded for PIM/PDASS membranes after 4 months of testing.

The greenhouse effect associated with excessive CO 2 emission has led to a series of environmental issues, thus developing excellent adsorbents for CO 2 capture from flue gas offers a sustainable approach. To combine the merit of multiple functional components, novel FeTPP@MIL-101(Cr) was prepared by incorporation of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methylphenyl)porphyrinato iron (III) chloride (FeTPP) into MIL-101(Cr) cages via in-situ packaging strategy. The cage-confined FeTPP can both regulate the pore structures of MIL-101(Cr) and provide additional binding sites for CO 2 adsorption. Profiting from extra interactions for CO 2 component and the “sieving effect” for N 2 component induced by incorporation of FeTPP, the discrepancy of isosteric heat for CO 2 and N 2 was largely amplified. Notably, the CO 2 /N 2 selectivity (15/85, v / v ) calculated by ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) increased from 17.1 (MIL-101 (Cr)) to 41.8 (FeTPP@MIL-101 (Cr) with FeTPP loading of 4.98 wt%) at 273 K, 100 kPa, which is 2.44 times larger than that of pristine MIL-101 (Cr) and also exceeds most reported adsorbents.

Styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) has attracted increasing research attention due to its low cost, excellent mechanical properties, and superior gas permeability performance. In this work, a series of novel SBS doped membranes were prepared by introducing polyphosphoric acid (PPA), lithium 2,2,2- trifluoroacetate (TFALi), and 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane (Siloxane-Cl) into SBS as dopants. The results indicated that the addition of dopants into SBS membranes simultaneously enhanced the CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of SBS membranes. Specially, doping Siloxane-Cl expanded the d-spacing, introduced flexible siloxane (Si-O) groups to enlarge molecular spaces, and formed more crosslinked network structure. Therefore, the SBS/Siloxane-20 membrane showed an approximately 4-fold increase CO 2 permeability compared to the pristine SBS membranes (from 203.3 to 842.9 barrer), accompanied by an increase in CO 2 /N 2 selectivity from 15.8 to 22.0. The obtained membranes also exhibited attractive anti-plasticization and anti-physical aging properties, no obvious decline in CO 2 permeability and/or CO 2 /N 2 selectivity can be observed after 1-week continuous permeation test, making them promising candidates for CO 2 /N 2 separation.
