Summary: This study investigates the growth mechanism and properties of HA-floc under different stirring conditions. The results show that HA is removed in the early stages and does not vary significantly during floc growth. The stirring condition does not affect the removal of HA, but has a remarkable effect on floc growth and structure.

Summary: Isolated studies for the evaluation of coagulation at different dimensions have been discussed. In this work, a comprehensive methodology was described, including dosing approach, mathematical modeling, chemical analysis, image analysis, and various analytical procedures. The results showed that RMSE, HYBRID, and Chi-Square could be successfully used for non-linear analysis, while ARE and MPSD could not be used at low concentrations. Additionally, image processing was used for analysis of floc size and fractal dimension.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of humic acid on the formation, breakage, and regrowth of alum flocs in the coagulation process. The results showed that humic acid can affect floc growth, and the extent of this effect depends on the dosage. Similar effects were also observed for natural organic matter in real surface water. Based on these findings, a mechanism for floc growth, breakage, and regrowth was proposed.

Summary: This study investigated the synchronous removal mechanisms of hydrophilic organics (2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and 2-palmitoyl-rac-glycerol) and hydrophobic organics (n-octadecane and 2-stearoyl-rac-glycerol) in the biochem-ical effluent of coal gasification processes treated by a semicoke-polysilicate aluminum ferric sulfate (PSAFS) process. It was found that the maximum equilibrium adsorption of hydrophobic organics was 3.2-7.8 times higher than that of hydrophilic organics. The adsorption rates of the organics in semicoke-PSAFS increased by more than 40.0% compared to semicoke adsorption. The adsorption driving forces were analyzed, revealing that the hydrogen-bond acid effect contributed by PSAFS played the largest role. The floc structures formed were larger and denser in hydrophilic organic solutions compared to hydrophobic organic solutions.

Summary: In this study, a typical type of cyanobacteria, M. aeruginosa, was chosen, and two coagulants (AlCl3 and FeCl3) were selected to explore the difference and mechanism of algae on the coagulation removal of fluoride. The results showed that M. aeruginosa contributed to efficient fluoride removal when using AlCl3, but FeCl3 showed unsatisfactory effects. M. aeruginosa fixed large quantities of Fe similar to AlCl3, indicating no selectivity in adhering metals. Additionally, FeCl3 appeared to be more advantageous in removing organic matters.

Summary: A novel struvite-humic acid composite (S-HA) derived from an anaerobic digestate showed high adsorption and reduction capacities for chromium (VI). The composite contained higher amounts of oxygen-containing and aromatic functional groups and had a larger specific surface area. XPS analysis revealed that a portion of the bonded Cr (VI) was reduced to Cr (III). These findings demonstrate the outstanding potential of the struvite-humic acid composite for chromium adsorption and reduction.

The study found higher levels of Ca in saliva and occlusal plaque in the FOA group, while the control group had higher levels of Sm. Additionally, a disruption in the relationship between Ca and Sm was observed in the FOA group, indicating that the presence of FOAs disturbs the colonization of these pathogens in the oral cavity.

Summary: In this study, a Ptx(x=2,3)Si/PtSi/p-Si photocathode was designed and fabricated to improve the photovoltage and enhance the hydrogen evolution reaction kinetics for efficient H-2 generation via PEC. The use of dopant segregation elevated the Schottky barrier height, leading to a high photovoltage, while in situ formation of a high catalytic activity Ptx(x=2,3)Si layer on the photocathode significantly enhanced the HER kinetics. The photocathode achieved a favorable onset potential for HER and a high saturated photocurrent density, with a maximum ABPE of 5.8% and excellent stability in long-term PEC H-2 generation testing.

Summary: This study synthesized perylenetetracarboxylic acid nanosheets with a thickness of approximately 1.5 nm and demonstrated their activity as highly efficient hydrogen evolution photocatalysts. The introduction of carboxyl groups increased the internal electric fields, promoting charge-carrier separation, and weakened charge-carrier recombination by migrating photogenerated electrons and holes to the edge and plane, respectively. Furthermore, the reduction potential and hydrophilic sites of perylenetetracarboxylic acid were enhanced. This work provides a strategy for designing future efficient photocatalysts.

Summary: This research examines the impact of Buddhism on mergers & acquisitions (M&As) performance using data from 4622 M&A transactions of Chinese public firms between 2004 and 2018. The findings provide ample evidence that acquirers located in regions with a higher intensity of Buddhism achieve better short-term and long-term performance after the merger. Furthermore, the study reveals that state ownership plays a crucial role in mitigating this effect, and the value creation is driven by higher deal completion rates and fewer violation cases for acquiring firms. Finally, the study addresses the issue of endogeneity, and the results remain unchanged.

Summary: This study investigated the formation of three disinfection byproduct formation potentials (DBPFPs) by Microcystis aeruginosa under nitrate and phosphate inhibition conditions. The results showed that the growth of M. aeruginosa was inhibited by excessive nitrate, but the concentration of DBPFPs only decreased slightly. Under nitrate inhibition, the productivity of DBPFPs increased by around 40%, primarily due to the increase in specific organic matters. The phosphate inhibition had a similar but smaller effect. The proportion of the three DBPFPs did not change under nutrient inhibition, with trichloromethane accounting for around 87% of the total DBPFPs.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the effectiveness of BMAA degradation by ozone and found that in pure water, the removal rate of BMAA was almost 100%, but it was lower in actual water. BMAA was primarily degraded by direct oxidation of ozone molecules under acidic and near-neutral conditions, while indirect oxidation of hydroxyl radicals accounted for the main part under strong alkaline conditions. The pH value had a significant effect on the degradation of BMAA, with the fastest degradation rate at near-neutral pH. By-products were generated during the degradation process, and three by-products were identified. The degradation pathways of BMAA were proposed to be attributed to the fracture of C-N bonds.

The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

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.
