Summary: A strategy involving the design of a series of highly selective hyper-cross-linked polystyrene resins (HCLRs) was reported for the selective adsorption of hazardous 2,4-dinitrotoluene from nitrophenol sodium salt-rich real industrial wastewater. The HCLRs demonstrated ultrahigh adsorption capacities towards 2,4-dinitrotoluene, outperforming other materials, and featured promising breakthrough and saturated capacities in dynamic adsorption studies.

Summary: The dynamics of a cell in cylindrical and square microfluidic channels with non-negligible inertia is studied using numerical simulations. In cylindrical channels, the cell migrates to a radial equilibrium position depending on the cell's softness and fluid characteristics. In square channels, the dynamics are more complex with multiple equilibrium positions depending on the fluid characteristics and cell's softness.

Summary: The research investigates the thermal efficiency of nanofluid flow in a 180-degree elbow pipe under the influence of double sources of non-uniform magnetic field. Computational fluid dynamic is used to model the nanofluid stream with double magnetic sources. The results show that vortices are generated near the magnetic field, extending the thermal layer and enhancing the thermal efficiency of the nanofluid stream in the 180-degree elbow.

Summary: A flow-through system was constructed for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using boron and cobalt co-doped TiO2 nanotubes (B, Co-TNT) as the anode and carbon black doped carbon felt (CB-CF) as the cathode. The B, Co-TNT anode system showed higher degradation efficiency and lower energy consumption compared to the dimensionally stable anode (DSA) system. The optimal Fe2+ dosage, as well as the effects of initial pH, current intensity, and flow rate, were studied. The mechanisms involved in the degradation of 2,4-D were anodization and Fenton oxidation. The flow-through AO-EF system exhibited stable performance and efficient degradation performance for different contaminants.

Summary: This paper introduces the use of charge detection mass spectrometry to measure the charge and mass of micron-sized particles simultaneously. The charge is detected by inducing charge onto cylindrical electrodes connected to a differential amplifier in a flow-through instrument. Mass is determined by accelerating the particles under an electric field. Particles ranging from 30 to 400 fg (3 to 7 μm diameter) were tested. The detector design can measure particle mass within 10% accuracy for particles up to 620 fg with total charge ranging from 500 e(-) to 56 ke(-). This charge and mass range is expected to be relevant for dust on Mars.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of solid particles in the peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid in two eccentric tubes, considering factors such as porous space and magnetohydrodynamics. Results show that increasing the quantity and volume of solid particles slows down the flow and reduces the pumping rate. It is also noted that reducing the size of solid particles can improve flow rate in the system.

Summary: A CFD-based model was developed to study the reactions of double coal char particles in O2/CO2 atmospheres. The results showed that increasing the oxygen mole fraction led to the migration of severe reaction area and a decrease in the area of high-temperature zone. Reynolds number was found to be the main factor affecting mass transfer. The overall carbon consumption rates of the double particles increased linearly with the increase of oxygen mole fraction.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are effective carriers for molecular imprinting, but their poor dispersibility in aqueous solution is a significant drawback. In this study, we have applied amphiphilic block copolymers and molecularly imprinted technology on MOFs to improve the hydrophilicity of molecularly imprinted fluorescent materials.
