Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing C-SO2 reaction through thermodynamic equilibrium calculations and experimental research. It is found that the highest sulfur yield occurs when the C/SO2 molar ratio is 1, and increasing temperature can enhance sulfur conversion and yield. Analysis of the carbon surface chemistry reveals that the presence of CO promotes the reduction of SO2. These findings provide guidance for the development of efficient SO2 reduction technology.

Summary: This study utilized carbothermal treatments with graphene to improve the magnetic heating efficiency of iron oxide nanoparticles, and found that higher treatment temperature significantly increased the specific absorption rate (SAR). The oxygen vacancies resulting from the carbon reduction process, along with the rapid grain growth, improved the eddy current loss and thus enhanced the magnetic heating effect.

Summary: In this study, magnetic porous pinecone-derived hydrochar (MPHCMW) co-activated by KHCO3 and K2FeO4 was synthesized for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and anthracene (ANT) from water. The synthesized material exhibited a high specific surface area and remarkable microporous structures. The adsorption of Cr(VI) was influenced by the pH of the solution, while the adsorption of ANT was unaffected by the pH. The adsorption processes reached equilibrium within a short period of time and showed high adsorption capacity. The adsorption performance remained stable after multiple cycles.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
