Summary: Electrospinning was used to synthesize a cost-effective fiber mat CS-Glu-Th with superior sorption capacity, sorption rate, and selectivity for Au(III). The sorption mechanism involved electrostatic attraction and coordination interaction with C-N, C--N, and C--S groups, and C-N efficiently reduced sorbed Au(III) to elemental gold. CS-Glu-Th also showed favorable sorption selectivity for Au(III) under the interference of co-existing elements. Cost-benefit analysis demonstrated the profit potential of CS-Glu-Th for gold recovery from industrial applications.

Summary: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a non-toxic biosynthetic polymer with hydrophilic properties. In this study, high-performance composite materials were obtained by cross-linking PVA with aldehyde-functionalized polysulfone (mPSF) precursor and incorporating modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mMWCNTs) with hydrophilic groups. The properties of the composites were compared with those based on PVA and the same fillers, and it was found that the polymeric matrix has an influence on the composite properties. The composites prepared in this way have potential applications in water purification or blood-filtration materials.

Summary: This study investigates the performance of a MgH2-based hydrogen storage tank with enhanced packing volume and finds that the loading content of MWCNTs significantly affects the thermal conductivity and hydrogen diffusion in the tank. By increasing the MWCNTs content, the hydrogen sorption kinetics is improved, leading to an enhancement in the reversible hydrogen capacity. The de/rehydrogenation behavior of the tank at different positions is also studied.

Summary: A new stepwise hybrid manufacturing strategy based on plasma-actuating carbon nanotubes is proposed to enhance the interfacial properties of MMWCNTs/PLA nanocomposites. The strategy involves maintaining the functional groups on MMWCNTs while partially destroying them through the thermoelectric coupling field caused by plasma. This leads to the formation of chemical bonds between MMWCNTs and the PLA matrix, creating a stress-transfer bridge and enhancing the interlaminar interface.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density. This indicates that alloying Pt with Cu is more promising for industrial relevant SHA catalyst.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. 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.
