Summary: This study designed and prepared a novel class of light-responsive emulsions with controllable phase behavior. The stable emulsions formed by alkane-, water-and azobenzene-based ionic liquid surfactants could be reversibly switched between demulsification and re-emulsification by alternating UV and visible light irradiation under stirring. These light-switchable emulsions were utilized as controllable microreactors for efficient Knoevenagel reactions with simple separation and recycling characteristics. This strategy opens up a new pathway for the development of sustainable chemical processes.

Summary: In this study, the process engineering aspects of producing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from Bambusa bamboo using CrCl3 catalyst and ionic liquid ([Bmim]Cl) in a batch reactor were explored in detail. The highest yield of 5-HMF (25%) was obtained at a reaction temperature of 120℃ and a stirring speed of 1200 rpm. Additionally, operating the reactor at high stirring conditions (reaction-limited regime) significantly improved the reaction rate constants (k(1), k(2), k(3)). It is suggested that operating at a stirring speed >1100 rpm and a temperature <120℃ in the batch reactor will maximize the production of 5-HMF from Bambusa bamboo.

Summary: A set of low-cost monometallic Fe, Ni, and bimetallicFe-Ni bifunctional H-Y-5.1 catalysts with different metal ratios were synthesized and characterized. The introduction of Fe led to a decrease in strong acid sites and an increase in medium Bronsted acid sites, while the introduction of Ni increased the number of Lewis acid sites. The particle size of iron was approximately 5 nm, while it was about fourfold higher for nickel. XPS demonstrated higher iron content on the catalyst surface compared to nickel. The results also showed strong Fe-Ni nanoparticle interactions, which affected the catalytic performance.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
