Summary: In this study, a composite material (nZVI@SBA-15-PDA/PEI) loaded with nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was developed for the removal of Cr(VI) and U(VI). The maximum removal capacities were found to be 44.05 mg/g and 57.78 mg/g for Cr(VI) and U(VI) respectively. The elimination mechanism involved a two-step interaction process where the pollutants were first attached onto the composite materials and then reduced to U(IV) and Cr(III) by nZVI.

Summary: Photocatalytic reduction of soluble hexavalent uranium to insoluble tetravalent uranium is a promising strategy for uranium-containing wastewater treatment. However, traditional methods require anaerobic conditions and/or sacrificial agents, leading to increased costs and secondary pollution. This study presents a novel O, K co-doped g-C3N4 photocatalyst that can efficiently remove U(VI) without sacrificial agents under air atmosphere. The synthesized OKDCN photocatalyst showed excellent performance in U(VI) reduction and demonstrated superior reusability and selectivity.

Summary: In this paper, phosphate-modified biochar supporting nano zero-valent iron (PBC/nZVI) was successfully prepared and fully characterized. The introduction of polyphosphate greatly increased the specific surface area of biochar pores, and then zero-valent iron was evenly distributed on the material surface, leading to excellent removal performance of PBC/nZVI for U(VI). This work proves that PBC/nZVI has a wide application prospect in the field of uranium wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the flexible spacer parity of a guest photoactive liquid crystalline dimer on the photonic bandgap features of the cholesteric and twist grain boundary smectic C phases of the host molecule. The results show that the parity of the photoactive dimer affects the width of the photonic bandgap and the blue-shift of the cholesteric phase. Additionally, the parity of the dimer also affects the layer spacing and two-dimensional periodicity of the liquid crystalline phases.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

The reaction mechanism involves complex reaction orders for the oxidant and the aromatic aldehyde, while the reaction order for Ru(VI) is one. The proposed mechanism includes two catalytic cycles and the formation and decomposition of complexes. Quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis showed that deactivating groups in the para-position enhance the process.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

Summary: This study examines the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity of water-based alumina nanofluids to changes in concentration, sphericity, and temperature. The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.

Summary: This paper reports on the synthesis, structural characterization, spectral and nonlinear-optical properties of glass nanocomposites made of glass forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles. The study reveals that by exciting the nanocomposites within their absorption band, a control over effective optical nonlinearities can be achieved, allowing the modification of the magnitude and sign of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient. The proposed strategy using metal-alkanoates based glass-forming ionic liquid crystals and nanoparticles shows great potential for the development of nanophotonics and plasmonics technologies.
