Summary: Currently, research on the treatment of oily sludge primarily focuses on optimizing deoiling effects and investigating deoiling mechanisms, while neglecting the influence of petroleum components on the properties and treatment of oily sludge. In this study, petroleum substances in three types of oil sludge were extracted using biosurfactant cleaning technology, and the effect of petroleum components on the cleaning process was explored. The results showed that the compound biosurfactant had a high oil-removal rate of 92.2%, and the cleaning difficulty increased with the heavy components present in the oily sludge. Additionally, it was found that the compound biosurfactant had a good elution effect on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons but had difficulty eluting asphaltene components.

Summary: In this study, a family of 2D Hofmann-type frameworks with halogen-appended ligands were investigated, revealing that lattice modification through X variation influences the elastic coupling between Fe-II sites and the emergence of ferroelastic or antiferroelastic interactions. The change of X atom characteristics and increased guest molecules in the pores resulted in different types of elastic coupling and multi-step spin-state transitions between Fe1 and Fe2 sites. The decoupling of Fe-II sites due to halogen atom steric bulk led to independent spin-state transitions and two-step pathways.

Summary: A 3D Hofmann-like metal-organic framework with a 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-based pillaring ligand has been synthesized. The encapsulation of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, chrysene, within the pore structure enables a new pathway to multi-step spin crossover behavior, where the observed two-step spin transition is attributed to the presence of multiple site environments and local guest positional effects within the host lattice.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
