Highly selective extraction of Pd from leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts is a research hotspot in recent years. In this study, three novel octanethioic acid alkyl amide extractants (alkyl = butyl TA-804, hexyl TA-806 and 2-ethylhexyl TA-826) were designed, synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, FT-IR and ESI-HRMS. The effect of contact time, extractant concentration, HCl concentration and diluents on Pd selective extraction and separation by these three extractants were investigated. The stripping behaviors of the loaded Pd in the organic phase were examined. The McCabe-Thiele diagrams of Pd extraction and stripping were drawn. The extraction mechanism was studied through methods of stoichiometry calculation, slope analysis, FT-IR and ESI-HRMS. In the end, the Pd separation from simulated leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts by TA-804, TA-806 and TA-826 was carried out. The results show TA-826 has much slow Pd extraction kinetics than TA-804 and TA-806. They all have highly efficient extraction and separation performance for Pd from chloride media at acidities of [HCl] ≤ 3 mol/L. When the HCl concentration is ≥4 mol/L, Fe and Pt begin to be extracted. At any acidities, Rh, Zn, Al, La, Zr, Co, Cu, Ni, Ce and Mg are not extracted. The studied octanethioic acid alkyl amides extract Pd from chloride media via complexation mechanism. Two extractant molecules quantitatively extract one Pd. The loaded Pd are easily and efficiently stripped by thiourea. They can efficiently extract and highly separate Pd from leaching liquor of spent auto-catalysts at acidity of 3 mol/L HCl.

The reduction of oil fouling in pipes and tanks is essential for the oil storage and transportation industry. In this study, a superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic surface (SUSS) with high wearability, weatherability, and durability was developed using a facile two-step synthesis method and used to expel fouled oil from the surface using water without a surfactant. Some typical oils, including kerosene and white oil, can be spontaneously expelled by static water; however, rapeseed oil requires motive water for expulsion because of its high affinity for the SUSS. Different occurrences can be estimated based on a correlated parameter, φ(Pe), which is calculated using an introduced dimensionless number, Pe=σLVuμ. A positive value of φ indicates the occurrence of fouled-oil expulsion by water replacement, whereas a negative value indicates no occurrence of this phenomenon. This study provides a facile strategy for the rapid cleansing of oil-fouled pipes and tanks without using a detergent, thereby lowering costs and environmental risks.

A cellulose aerogel with very low overall density is fabricated by freeze-drying aqueous cellulose solution. A hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel is further fabricated by coating the cellulose aerogel with hexyltrimethoxysilane-modified SiO 2 nanoparticles. The features of the developed hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel are characterized with density and porosity measurement, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle measurement. Finally, the oil absorption performance of the developed hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel is investigated. The results show that SiO 2 nanoparticles have been successfully loaded on the surface of the aerogel backbone after fulfillment of fabrication, and the surface of the aerogel turns to be hydrophobic/oleophilic (water contact angle 131° and oil contact angle 0°). The oil absorption experiment results show that the absorption capacity for organic solvents is from 10 to 21 times the initial aerogel weight, depending on the density of the absorbed organic solvents. In addition, the aerogel still maintains good stability in high temperature, strong acid or strong base conditions. Furthermore, the aerogel also shows good performance in separating oil from oil–water mixtures. This hydrophobic/oleophilic cellulose aerogel can be a promising choice for remedying water pollution caused by oil contamination.

Fluidized-bed flotation is a novel process with combined features of flotation and density separation. The application of fluidized-bed flotation in grinding circuit to reject coarse gangues for sulfide ores has been increasingly attracting attentions. Previous studies have focused on the effect of mineral liberation on coarse particle separation. Little work has yet been conducted to simultaneously investigate the effect of mineral liberation, particle and bubble sizes on the fluidized-bed flotation efficiency. The lack of this work has hindered the process optimization to some extent. In this study, three sizes of bubbles (498 μm, 1200 μm, 1952 μm) were generated to separate molybdenite ores under three particle size fractions (150–450 μm, 450–700 μm and 700–1000 μm) in a fluidized-bed flotation column (80 mm in diameter). For the 150–450 μm and 450–700 μm particles, small bubbles of 498 μm could achieve separation by effectively reducing the particle density. For the 700–1000 μm particles with greater mass, intermediate bubble of 1200 μm was required to reduce the particle density for separation. No separation was observed for the three particle size classes with the oversized bubbles of 1952 μm due to high bubble detachment probability. It was concluded that fluidized-bed flotation is a consequence of matched bubble and particle sizes affected by the exposure rate of hydrophobic mineral and its distributing discreteness, the underlying mechanism for which was discussed. It is believed that the outcomes of this work could facilitate the optimization of fluidized-bed flotation in coarse gangue rejecting for sulfide ores.

In this work, we fabricated a multifunctional membrane by in-situ growth of tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin-doped UiO-66-NH 2 on stainless steel mesh (SSM), denoted as TCPP/UiO@SSM, for gravity-driven oil–water/seawater mixtures separation and visible-light-driven bacterial inactivation. The as-prepared membrane exhibited high permeation flux (up to 46312 ± 1583 L m −2 h −1 ) as well as separation efficiency (above 98%) towards various oil–water/seawater mixtures separation, which resulted from the rough hierarchical structure and the inherent super-wettability. In particular, the membrane can effectively deal with viscous oil fouling to achieve a desired flux recovery ratio (FRR) after separating crude oil from water, attributing to the self-cleaning property originated from the photo-active TCPP/UiO. Furthermore, the as-fabricated TCPP/UiO@SSM has the ability to efficiently inactivate typical Gram bacteria (6 log units) in water under visible light . Both the oil–water separation and photocatalytic sterilization performances of TCPP/UiO@SSM are superior to UiO@SSM. The doping of photosensitive TCPP in UiO-66-NH 2 not only improved the hydrophilicity, but also enhanced the photocatalytic activity by creating a Z-scheme heterojunction to promote the separation of charge carriers and amplify the photothermal effect. This work provides a new platform for water disinfection and the treatment of oily wastewater containing viscous oil phase based on UiO metal–organic framework.

Two hydrophobic porous ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) membranes quenched in water and air were fabricated by thermally induced phase separation and used for water recovery from ammonia-containing humid gas via vapor condensation. The ECTFE membranes were further hydrophobically modified to enhance their condensation performance. The condensate water quality of the modified membrane significantly improved. The mechanisms of the NH3 contamination in the condensate water were discussed. Surface hydrophobic modification slightly increased the flux and recovery stabilities of the membranes. However, the modification also increased the membrane surface roughness, which adversely affects the vapor condensation and droplet evolution on the membrane surface and reduced the recovered water quality. From the material perspective, desirable porous membranes for vapor condensation should have high surface hydrophobicity and smoothness and reasonably large pore sizes. The reasonably large pore sizes would promote noncondensable gaseous contaminants (e.g., ammonia) to go through the membrane, thereby improving the recovered water quality.

In practical applications, Nanofiltration (NF) membranes are confronted with inevitable challenges, including the terrible fouling and the deterioration by chlorine, which hinders the wider application. In this study, 2-aminophenol-4-sulfonamide (APSA) was incorporated to form the polyamide-sulfonamide active layer, thus highly stable antifouling NF membranes with chlorine resistance were fabricated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed APSA successfully grafted on the membrane surface. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images indicated a smooth membrane surface. Water contact angle of the PA-SA NF membranes declined to 19.7° compared with the PA NF membranes. Flux recovery rates (FRR) of bovine albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA) and oil/water emulsion were 96.4%, 96.8%, 96.0% and 94.6%, respectively. Besides, slight decline occurred to FRR value for BSA after three fouling cycles. No obvious decline of the rejection and water flux was observed on long-term stability. Notably, slight rejection rate decline and no obvious FRR value decline were observed after chlorination. Overall, the PA-SA NF membranes possessed highly stable antifouling property and chlorine resistance. It might be due to the fact that APSA including various hydrophilic groups grafted onto the active layer. N–H bonds of sulfonamide could act as a sacrificial unit against free chlorine. It is anticipated that this work could provide a facile strategy to develop NF membranes with highly stable antifouling property and chlorine resistance.

A superhydrophobic and superoleophilic sponge (MS/UIO-66(F 4 )/RGO/PDMS) was fabricated by decorating the skeleton of a melamine sponge (MS) with UIO-66(F 4 ) nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets layer by layer, and then hydrophobic modification with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The composition, morphology, thermal stability, and wettability of the modified sponge were characterized, and its oil/water separation application was investigated. Characterization results reveal that compared with the hydrophilic pure MS, the fiber surface of the prepared sponge becomes rough and demonstrates remarkable super-hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 153.5°. The modified sponge can efficiently separate water-in-diesel emulsion (flux of 3665 L · m −2 · h −1 ) and multiple stratified oil-water mixtures via the auxiliary device with a separation efficiency above 98.3%, which has no significant change after 25 cycles. The modified sponge can absorb oils or organic solvents 48–100 times higher than its weight, with a stable absorption capacity after 20 cycles. Moreover, it can be applied in handling flammable oils, showing good flame retardancy. Considering it also possesses excellent chemical stability, extreme environmental stability (resistance to high/low temperature, UV irradiation and load-bearing) and mechanical durability under harsh conditions, the modified sponge is a promising candidate in the field of oily wastewater treatment.

In many regions, even if waste vegetable oil is used as raw material, the profits of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) enterprises still remain restricted, and they are facing environmental problems caused by the by-product glycerol. Hence, value-added utilization of FAME and glycerol is a promising alternative to improve the competitiveness of biodiesel enterprises in the economy and environmental protection. In this paper, FAME and glycerol were utilized to prepare epoxidized acyl glycerides by transesterification and epoxidation. In the transesterification, acyl glycerides were prepared by reacting FAME and glycerol catalyzed by K 2 CO 3 . The contents of monoacyl glyceride, diacyl glyceride, and triacyl glyceride in the acyl glycerides were about 50%, 40%, and 10%, and the optimal conditions were a temperature of 200°C and the molar ratio of FAME to glycerol of 1:1. In the epoxidation, selectivity of epoxides was significantly affected by monoacyl glyceride content, and a treatment method was developed to control the monoacyl glyceride content <5%. In addition, the plasticity of epoxidized acyl glycerides to partially substitute dioctyl phthalate in polyvinyl chloride was studied, the overall mechanical properties, thermal stability, and extraction resistance were improved. In this work, FAME and glycerol were utilized to prepare epoxidized acyl glycerides with higher value-added, which provide a potential solution for improving the market competitiveness of biodiesel enterprises.

To seek more efficient extractant for Pd recovery from leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts, a new compound N-methyl-N-isopropyl octanthioamide (TA-813) was synthesized and characterized through FT-IR, 1 H NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Its extraction and stripping behaviors for Pd were studied. To evaluate its reusability performance, extraction−stripping cycles were carried out. Finally, TA-813 was applied to separating Pd from simulated leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts. TA-813 shows fast extraction kinetics, high extraction efficiency and specific selectivity for Pd. During extraction two TA-813 molecules coordinate with one Pd. The loaded Pd in the organic phase is efficiently stripped by neutral and acidic thiourea solutions. TA-813 shows no loss in activity after eight extraction−stripping cycles. Even from simulated leaching solution of spent automotive catalysts, in which the concentrations of some purities (La, Ce, Mg, Al) are much higher than that of Pd, Pd is still selectively extracted.

A selective extraction process for recovering vanadium (IV) over chromium was proposed with use of a mixed extractant consisting of di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (D2EHPA) and tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP). The influence of various factors, which included the initial aqueous pH value, the concentration of leach solution and D2EHPA, phase ratio (O/A), extraction equilibrium time and extraction temperature in the extraction process on the separation of V and Cr was investigated. Under the condition of the optimum extraction, vanadium extraction was above 94.0%. Meanwhile, under the optimum stripping conditions, the vanadium stripping was above 93.0% utilizing 1.5 mol/L sulfuric acid as the effective stripping reagent. The regeneration and reusability of the loaded organic phases after stripping were discussed. In addition, continuous three-stage extraction and stripping strategy indicated that the aggregate loss of vanadium was 0.885% and that the purity of vanadium was more than 99.9%. Under the condition of the optimum precipitation, when the pH value of the stripping solution was adjusted to 7.0 with ammonia water, the precipitation efficiency reached 99.93%. The calcination conditions (above 680 °C in air) were finally determined by TG-DTA and TG-MS experiments, and the V2O5 obtained by calcination was characterized by XRD. Additionally, a method for detecting impurity elements in vanadium matrix without interference was established. The recovery technology has practical significance in enlarging production scale, reducing specific energy consumption and cost, and realizing automatic control in vanadium leaching process.

Polyacrylamide nanospheres are widely used as recovery-enhancing polymers in low-permeability oil fields. However, with the further exploitation of oil fields in recent years, the performance of the regulating drive system has been put forward to higher requirements, so this study of the structure and oil displacement performance of the oil-based supramolecular system based on polyacrylamide, and further discusses its oil displacement mechanism. The results show that the viscosity value of the oil-based supramolecular system increases significantly, which can effectively improve the mobility ratio and improve swept volume. The ability of the system to remove crude oil from the slides is significantly increased, and the mathematical relationships are discussed. The oil displacement efficiency of the oil-based supramolecular system in different dispersion media was explored in combination with microchannels of a nonhomogeneous multistage bifurcation structure. This work supports the practical application of oil-based supramolecular nanospheres in oil fields.
