Summary: The valorization of agro-industrial residues can be improved through their full use, making the production of second-generation ethanol viable. In this study, hydrolyzed soybean straw generated from a subcritical water process was used for the adsorption of basic fuchsin. The results showed that at pH eight, a high adsorption capacity was obtained. The optimal dosage of the adsorbent was found to be 0.9 g L-1, and equilibrium was reached after only 30 minutes of contact time. The Langmuir model was the best for predicting the adsorption isotherms, and the process was found to be spontaneous and endothermic.

Summary: This study aims to use sawdust as a cheap adsorbent for the adsorption of acid red57 (AR57) and basic fuchsin (BF) dyes. The results showed that the adsorption of both dyes on sawdust increased with increasing contact time and adsorbent dosage, but decreased with increasing temperature and initial dye concentration. The pH also had an effect on the adsorption, with AR57 decreasing and BF increasing with higher pH. The Freundlich model was found to be the most suitable for describing the adsorption behavior of both dyes, and the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption of both dyes was spontaneous and exothermic, with negative values of Delta G and Delta H. The randomness decreased during the adsorption process. Sawdust, being locally available and cheap, can be effectively used for adsorption without the need for regeneration or reuse. The treated waste liquids also met the desired limits for reuse in agriculture.

Summary: In this study, oxidant-modified biochar (OBC) was used for the adsorption removal of basic fuchsin from aqueous systems. The OBC demonstrated a spongier structure and thermal stability up to 850 degrees C. Various experimental factors, including pH, biosorbent dosage, and initial pollutant concentration, were optimized to achieve the highest removal efficiency of 98.28%. The adsorption process followed Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Additionally, the toxicity of basic fuchsin reduced significantly after the adsorption process, as observed in the growth inhibition of Vigna radiata seeds.

Summary: Currently, the leveling of aerial working platforms is conducted manually, leading to issues such as low accuracy, low efficiency, poor robustness, and poor adaptability. To address this, a battery-electric drive-electric control integrated aerial working chassis is proposed, along with an attitude and load coupling control model designed by the team. Performance tests show that the chassis and control system can rapidly and synchronously achieve the leveling and load homogenization of the chassis, indicating potential for being promoted as special vehicles with leveling requirements.

Summary: Experimental investigations have been carried out on a 0.66-THz gyrotron, with the magnetic injection gun and the gyrotron beam-wave interaction cavity being designed and optimized. The gyrotron cavity incorporates a traditional three-section design. The experimental results demonstrate stable operation at the second cyclotron harmonic, with the gyrotron operating in the TE14,5 mode and a pulselength of 80 mu s. By adjusting the beam energy and magnetic field, the gyrotron achieves a maximum frequency of 656.95 GHz and an output power of 282 W. Additionally, the gyrotron can be used as a frequency-tunable source, with a tunable range of approximately 70 MHz. This gyrotron is specifically designed for irradiating THz waves on living bodies.

Summary: Most UV passive optics lack tunability and external modulation methods due to poor tunability of wide-bandgap semiconductor materials in UV working media. This study explores the excitation of magnetic dipole resonances in the solar-blind UV region using hafnium oxide metasurfaces and elastic dielectric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The near-field interactions between the resonant dielectric elements can be modulated by mechanical strain of the PDMS substrate, enabling the flattening of resonant peak beyond the solar-blind UV wavelength range and switching on or off the optical switch in the solar-blind UV region. The device offers a simple design and can be applied in UV polarization modulation, optical communications, and spectroscopy.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
