Summary: This study investigated the efficiency and kinetics of the photoactivated periodate process for degrading 2,4-dichlorophenol in water, finding that UV/IO4- had a higher degradation rate than UV alone, regardless of pH. By adjusting the concentration of periodate and 2,4-DCP, the degradation rate and removal efficiency could be controlled effectively.

Summary: The study found that adjusting the cathode pH and operational mode in bioelectrochemical systems can affect the electrocatalytic dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol, with a more acidic cathode pH enhancing the reaction efficiency in MFC mode. In MEC mode, the faster kinetics can achieve dechlorination more rapidly and further hydrogenate the phenol into cyclohexanone under mild operating conditions.

Summary: The study revealed that a bacterial community acclimated to 4-CP showed improved dechlorination ability, and when mixed with a community acclimated to 2,4-DCP, the removal rate of 2,4-DCP remained high while 4-CP degradation was accelerated. Genera Treponema, Blvii28, Dechloromonas, Nitrospira, and Thauera were found to be more abundant in the 4-CP-dechlorinating biomass, indicating potential roles in 2,4-DCP dechlorination and mineralization.

Summary: This study compares the binding and reactivity of 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) in two isoforms of dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin (DHPA and DHPB). DCP is widely used in the chemical industry, present in waste streams, and has particular reactivity to form toxic compounds. The results show that DHPB has 3.5 times higher catalytic efficiency for DCP oxidation than DHPA by a peroxidase mechanism, but both isoforms exhibit self-inhibition at low concentrations of DCP, similar to the inhibition of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) at higher concentration.

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.
