Summary: This study investigated the desorption of lead from amended soil samples with pomelo waste for up to 3 months using Ca(NO3)2 and EDTA solutions. Results showed higher lead desorption with EDTA solution compared to Ca(NO3)2, and soil pH did not affect lead desorption. Sequential fractionation data indicated that lead released from pomelo waste was mainly associated with soil oxide fraction.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption of oxytetracycline (OXY) from aqueous solution using landscape biomass waste-based activated carbon (LBWAC) in both batch and continuous modes. The results showed that the adsorbent had the highest uptake at a solution temperature of 60 degrees C and a solution pH of 12. The adsorption system followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The continuous bed column study demonstrated that the breakthrough point, exhaustion time, and maximum adsorption uptake can be improved by adjusting the inlet conditions. This research suggests that LBWAC has great potential for large-scale OXY wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study evaluated the environmental remediation ability of a mixture of biochar and soil for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA). The results showed that the phosphoric acid hydrothermal activated carbon (HPC) had a high specific surface area and large amounts of unsaturated esters and hydroxyl groups, allowing for effective adsorption of BPA. The study also investigated the effects of various factors on the adsorption process, and found that organic acids had no significant impact on the adsorption of BPA. Through characterization and data analysis, the enhanced adsorption of BPA by the HPC mixed with soil was mainly attributed to π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, followed by electrostatic attraction and pore filling.

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.
