Summary: SF6 gas, the strongest greenhouse gas, is widely used in many occasions, but its use is restricted due to environmental concerns. This study proposes the idea of degrading retired SF6 gas using thermal plasma, and a prototype is built and tested. The results show that under suitable reaction conditions, SF6 can be efficiently destroyed using thermal plasma.

Summary: In this study, DBD cold plasma was used to degrade zearalenone and the degradation efficiency was evaluated. The degradation kinetics and possible pathway of degradation were investigated. The results showed that the degradation percentage of zearalenone increased with increasing voltage and time. Kinetics analysis revealed that the degradation process followed a first-order reaction. The study also analyzed the degradation products and detected reactive species and free radicals. This study provides a theoretical basis for the degradation of zearalenone to a certain extent.

Summary: The knowledge of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) mechanisms has evolved over the past three decades, aided by advances in analytical and spectrometric techniques. The type, nature, and quantity of reactive species generated in EAOPs are controlled by various factors, and their accurate identification is crucial for understanding their reactivity. The potency and reactivity of oxidants generated in EAOPs are similar regardless of the technique used, except in the case of heterogeneous and homogeneous hydroxyl radicals.

Summary: The study evaluated the use of tandem mass spectrometry with ion trap mass analyzer for isomers recognition. The approach involved simple and rapid liquid chromatographic separation without resolving the analytes. The MS/MS properties and data processing were optimized to solve the signal assignment. Different combinations of excitation amplitude and time were tested to achieve fragmentation and MS/MS spectrum formation. The developed HPLC-MS/MS method was applied to analyze human plasma samples spiked with an equimolar mixture of isomers.

Summary: This paper proposes a new tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) approach for isomer recognition by utilizing the energetic dimension of the experiment. The method optimizes parameters and applies a post-processing data tool to solve the signal assignment problem. The reliability of the method is evaluated through analysis of isomer mixture solutions. The proposed method has been successfully applied in a chemical stability study of human plasma samples.

Summary: The objective of this research was to evaluate the kinetics and mineralization fraction of organic matter from sewage sludge mixed with the soil. It was found that the two-phase kinetic equation fit better to the mineralization data, and higher application rates led to a reduction in the mineralization of organic matter.

Summary: The widespread pharmaceutical pollutants in aquatic environment pose a threat to organisms and human health, and can be removed through the application of Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) using UV light, iron, and hydrogen peroxide. This study investigated the degradation kinetics, mineralization, and degradation products of mixed pollutants using AOP (UV/Fe2+/H2O2) method. Optimal conditions were found to be UV light 15 W, mixed pollutant 5 mg/L, Fe2+ 0.04 mM, H2O2 3 mM, and reaction time 10 min, resulting in over 99% degradation of mixed pollutants. The UV/Fe2+/H2O2 method also showed high performance in removing multiple pollutants in real wastewater.

Summary: In this study, Co3O4 nanospheres with excellent surface properties were synthesized and used for the degradation of BPA. The nano-Co3O4/PMS system effectively degraded BPA (approximately 92%) at neutral pH with low cobalt leaching and good recyclability. Chemical quenching studies confirmed the involvement of hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals in BPA oxidation.

Summary: Electrocatalytic oxidation of carcinogenic 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) aromatic amine was performed using Ti-RuO2 anodes. The effects of current, pH, electrolysis time, and 4-ABP initial concentration on the removal rate and energy consumption were studied. Response surface methodology was used for experimental design, parameter optimization, and interaction analysis. The potential of Ti/RuO2 anodes for 4-ABP mineralization was evaluated, and the competition between 4-ABP mineralization and degradation was studied. The transformation products of 4-ABP during electrooxidation were analyzed, and a mechanism was proposed. At optimum parameters, the removal rate and energy consumption were 60.25% and 2.49 kWh/g, respectively.

Summary: A two-stage system of dye wastewater treatment, consisting of reverse osmosis (RO) process and nonthermal plasma (NTP) degradation, was proposed to enhance the energy yield. The investigation found that reverse osmosis can effectively enhance the mass transfer of organic dye, promoting dye removal and energy yield of the plasma degradation.

Summary: Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is a crucial regulator of extracellular mineralization, but there is currently no reliable assay for its quantification. In this study, we report a new and robust assay that converts PPi into ATP and quantifies it using firefly luciferase-based bioluminescence. The assay shows high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy, and outperforms currently available assays.
