Ultra-pure mesoporous silica microspheres with good monodispersity were synthesized in two steps: nanometer-sized silica sal was produced by the sal-gel process, then micrometer-sized silica microspheres were synthesized by polymerization-induced colloid aggregation of the silica sol. The total metal content of the microspheres was extremely low, which eliminated the tailing of chromatographic peaks by chelating reagents. The pore structure of the silica microspheres could be controlled by altering the sal-gel conditions. The silica microsphere particle size could be adjusted by using different polymerization-induced colloid aggregation conditions.

Investigation of the adsorption performance and mechanism of 2-mercaptoethane sulfonic acid intercalated modified layered double hydroxide on heavy metal ions

Xianyong Hong, Mingzhu Xia, Mingxing Shi, Chun Liu, Yanghao Yan, Yu Tao, Yongqiang Zhang, Yulei Zhang, Ping Du, Fengyun Wang

Summary: The role of functional groups in the adsorption process of functionalized layered double hydroxide (LDH) to target pollutants was investigated. Functionalized NiFe-LDH with 2 mercaptoethane sulfonic acid (MS) as an intercalation modifier was prepared. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed the interfacial interaction between the functional groups and the NiFe-LDH surface. The results showed that the sulfonic acid group self-assembled electrostatically with the LDH laminate, while the sulfhydryl group complexed heavy metal ions. The adsorption experiments demonstrated significantly improved adsorption performance of the modified NiFe-LDH for Cd2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ ions. The molecular dynamics simulation and wavefunction analysis provided insights into the mechanism of enhanced adsorption capacity by the functional groups.

Construction of an enhanced built-in electric field in S-doped g-C3N4/NiCo2O4 for boosting peroxymonosulfate activation

Shuai Mao, Guoying Yao, Peng Liu, Chun Liu, Yi Wu, Zhoutian Ding, Chao Ding, Mingzhu Xia, Fengyun Wang

Summary: Transition metal oxide-mediated activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutant degradation has gained considerable attention. In this study, a composite PMS activator of S-doped g-C3N4/NiCo2O4 was developed, showing efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC) with a removal efficiency of 96.9% within 30 minutes. The introduction of sulfur doping widened the work function difference and enhanced the electric field intensity of the heterojunctions between g-C3N4 and NiCo2O4, promoting directional electron transfer and accelerating the redox cycle to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Experimental and theoretical analyses revealed that the main ROS involved in TC degradation were 1O2, generated through the conversion of SO4-, OH•, and O2•-. Additionally, high-valent cobalt-oxo species (CoIV = O) also contributed to TC degradation.

The immobilization of Sr(ll) and Co(ll) via magnetic easy-separation organophosphonate-hydroxyapatite hybrid nanoparticles

Keren Lu, Zhiren Zhao, Jin Cui, Cuiyun Bai, Hongling Zhang, Xuetao Zhao, Fengyun Wang, Mingzhu Xia, Yanru Zhang

Summary: The magnetic HD-MHAP nanoparticles were prepared and effectively immobilized radioactive Sr2+ and Co2+. The adsorption capacity of MHAP and 10HD-MHAP on Co2+ was 28.4 mg/g and 172.3 mg/g, respectively, and for Sr2+, the adsorption capacity was 54.9 mg/g and 320.7 mg/g. The low desorption percentages of Sr2+ and Co2+ ensure the captured radionuclides will not be released back into the aquatic systems. The formation of a ternary surface complex of MHAP-HDTMP-M (Sr2+ or Co2+) was identified as the key to the excellent immobilization performance of the HD-MHAP composite.

Polarized imaging dynamic light scattering for simultaneous measurement of nanoparticle size and morphology

Bingyao Wang, Tianyi Cai, Xiaoshu Cai, Wu Zhou, Zeqi Liu

Summary: The size and morphology of nanoparticles significantly impact their performance. Current methods, such as electron microscopy or atomic force microscopy, have limitations in sample preparation, processing time, and quantitative characterization. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a fast, accurate, and statistical method for measuring nanoparticle size and morphology. In this study, a new method called polarized imaging dynamic light scattering (PIDLS) is proposed, which irradiates nanoparticles with a vertical linearly polarized laser beam and utilizes a polarization camera to collect dynamic light scattering images at different polarization directions. The method effectively determines particle size, morphology, and sphericity based on depolarization patterns and degree of linear polarization. PIDLS also enables simultaneous measurement of particle size and morphology distributions, allowing for the evaluation of particle uniformity. The effectiveness of PIDLS is validated with the measurement of five types of industrial titanium dioxide.

Soft coarse-grained particle model for particle-fluid systems

Yanhao Ye, Ji Xu, Wei Ge

Summary: By modeling neighboring particles as a single coarse-grained particle, the discrete particle method (DPM) can now simulate industrial-scale particle-fluid systems. However, there is still a lack of a systematic approach to determine the properties and interaction models of these coarse-grained particles, which affects the predictability of the method. In this study, kernel functions for modeling the coarse-grained particles are constructed based on the analysis of collisions between predefined particle groups, and the model parameters are determined by equating the statistical properties of the coarse-grained particles to those of the real particles. This approach has been effective in simulating the homogeneous cooling of granular gas and experimental fluidized beds.

A refined representation method of the particle size distribution curve based on grading entropy

Xing Li, Qun Chen, Zhaozhao Liu, Cheng Zhou, Chen Wang, Chen Chen

Summary: The particle size distribution (PSD) curve is an important expression of soil properties. However, existing characteristic parameters can only represent some points of the curve and fail to capture all the information. This paper introduces a new fraction characteristic parameter based on grading entropy and proposes a refined presentation method for the PSD curve. The new method not only represents the differences in curve width more accurately but also has higher discrimination ability. The application of this method in describing deposit distribution and predicting soil hydraulic conductivity is discussed. The research results can provide reference for the refined representation of PSD curves.

Hydrodynamics and OCM reaction performance in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor and a riser reactor

Min Cai, Shuangzhu Kong, Sheng Chen, Mengxi Liu, Chunxi Lu

Summary: Reasonable reactor design is crucial for increasing the C2 yield in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). This study focused on large-scale fluidized bed reactors and conducted experiments and simulations to investigate their hydrodynamics and reaction performance. The results showed that the consecutive reactions of ethylene were severe in the bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) reactor due to gas back-mixing, high solids holdup, and non-uniform solids distribution, while they were negligible in the riser reactor. Both reactors achieved isothermal operation for the OCM process, with the riser reactor showing higher C2 selectivity and yield compared to the BFB reactor. This study provides valuable information for OCM reactor design and commercialization.
