A novel strategy based on ultrasonic pretreatment and enzyme-assistence was proposed in this study to enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production from anaerobic fermentation (AF) of waste activated sludge (WAS). The impacts of ultrasonic frequency (20 - 40 kHz), ultrasonic amplitude (60 - 90 %), and treatment duration (0 - 8 min) on sludge solubilization, as well as different enzymes (lysozyme, alpha-amylase, cellulase, and blended enzyme) on SCFAs production were assessed. The results showed that the optimal condition for ultrasonic pretreatment to enhance sludge solubilization was ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz, amplitude of 80 %, and treatment duration of 5 min. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size distribution revealed that ultrasonic pretreatment effectively destructed EPS and sludge floc structure. The addition of enzymes enhanced SCFAs production, with the effects following the order of blended enzyme > lysozyme > cellulase > alpha-amylase > control. The maximum SCFAs accumulation for the enzyme-added systems was obtained on the 4th day, which were 1.81 - 3.41 times of that in the control system (8th day). Microbial community structure analysis disclosed that the functional microorganisms were strengthened by the addition of enzymes. The enrichment of phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in the enzyme-added systems, with enriched acidogenic genera (e.g. Propionispira) in the blended enzyme system and hydrolytic genera (e.g. Romboutsia) in the lysozyme system, hinted the mechanism of SCFAs production enhancement by enzymes.
The important intermediate thiothiamine for Vitamin B1 production is often challenged by issues related to mixed polymorphs and needle-shaped crystal morphology in industrial production. These challenges can be effectively addressed through crystal engineering strategies. In this study, the key factors affecting the crystal form were investigated in reactive crystallization. Subsequently, the reactive crystallization process was monitored online using in-situ ATR-FTIR and FBRM techniques. It was determined that crystallization process is the rate-limiting step throughout the reactive crystallization process. Various factors affecting the crystal morphology were identified. Through process control and optimization, a product was achieved with a filtration time reduced by over 60% and a moisture content reduction of >20%. Overall, this study provides valuable insights from a crystal engineering perspective to address the poor powder properties.
抗生素的过度使用对环境造成了持久性的污染,光电催化是降解抗生素的环保、高效技术,其中光电极的设计尤为重要。为提高抗生素降解速率,采用电化学还原和光还原法制备了Ag-Ti3+-TiO2纳米锥复合光电极,并用于模拟可见光照射下光电催化降解四环素的过程,考察其光电催化性能。结果表明,由于Ti3+自掺杂和Ag纳米颗粒的局域表面等离子体共振效应,复合电极有效地抑制了光生电子-空穴对的复合,并表现出更低的电荷转移电阻,提高了光电催化性能。复合光电极在可见光照射下,90 min后可降解87.9%的四环素,且5个循环后降解率保持在82.5%。这些结果表明,Ag-Ti3+-TiO2纳米锥复合光电极具有高降解效率、良好的稳定性和可持续的循环利用性,有望实现高效环保地光电催化降解抗生素。
Sludge anaerobic digestion promoted by enzymes has the advantages of mild reaction,high efficiency and environmental protection etc.However,the difficulty of recovery and poor catalytic stability seriously restrict its ap-plication.Enzyme immobilization is the key to solve the above problems.A new type of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)car-rier was prepared by Noria and polyethylenimide(PEI)co-deposition.The effect of lysozyme immobilized with Noria-PEI modified PVA carriers on the efficiency of sludge anaerobic fermentation for VFAs production was studied.The results showed that immobilized lysozyme could enhance sludge fermentation to promote SCOD,and SCOD reached the highest concentration of 2 892.4 mg/L within 36 h,which was 3.4 times higher than in the blank(day 6).VFAs concentration peaked at 2 130.8 mg/L on day 4,mainly comprised of acetic acid and propionic acid,accounting for 61.8%-80.7%.The average particle size and specific surface area of sludge in the immobilized enzyme system were 42.957 µm and 0.413 m2/g,indicating that immobilized enzyme enhanced the hydrolysis of granular sludge.Micro-bial community analysis showed that the hydrolytic acid-producing phyla of Firmicutes,Proteobacteria and Bacteroi-des accounted for high proportion in the immobilized enzyme system.At the genus level,Macellibacteroides,Petri-mona,Lactobacillu,and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 were the main genera,which revealed the mechanism of en-hanced VFAs production by the immobilized enzyme at microscopic level.
A high-performance MnO2-coated Ti-based electrocatalytic membrane(MnO2/Ti) was prepared by a simple and controllable electrodeposition method. The morphology, elemental content, valence distribution and electrochemical impedance of the prepared MnO2/Ti membrane were systematically characterized, as well as cyclic voltammetric AC tests. The effects of flow rate and current density on the water treatment performance of the MnO2/Ti membrane were investigated. The results showed that MnO2 was uniformly distributed on the surface of Ti membrane,and electrodeposition MnO2 can significantly improve the electrochemical activity and enhance the electrocatalytic oxidation performance of Ti membrane, which could improve the self-cleaning ability of Ti membrane. The emulsified oil removal efficiency was as high as 91% under the operating conditions with current density of 10 mA/cm2 and flow rate of 1.5 mL/min. In addition,the MnO2/Ti membrane showed good stability and reusability. The oxidation mechanism showed that the MnO2/Ti membranes had direct and indirect oxidation activities during the electrocatalytic treatment process, and MnO2 coating could improve the direct oxidation capacity and ·OH, O2·- yields of the Ti membrane.

In situ combustion of heavy oil is currently the most suitable thermal method that meets energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission requirements for heavy oil recovery. The combustion catalyst needs to perform multiple roles for application; it should be capable of catalyzing heavy oil combustion at high temperatures, as well as be able to migrate in the geological formation for injection. In this work, a hyperbranched polymer composite nanometal fluid was used as the injection vector for a heavy oil in situ combustion catalyst, which enabled the catalyst to rapidly migrate to the surface of the oil phase in porous media and promoted heavy oil cracking deposition at high temperatures. Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles encapsulated with cetyl-hyperbranched poly(amide-amine) (CPAMAM), with high interfacial activity, were synthesized by a facile phase-transfer method; the resulting material is called Pt@CPAMAM. Pt@CPAMAM has good dispersion, and as an aqueous solution, it can reduce the interfacial tension between heavy oil and water. As a catalyst, it can improve the conversion rate during the pyrolysis of heavy oil in a nitrogen atmosphere. The catalyst structure designed in this study is closer to that exhibited in practical geological formation applications, making it a potential method for preparing catalysts for use in heavy oil in situ combustion to resolve the problem of catalyst migration in the geological formation.

Most of the amino acids grow in needle-like or sheet-like crystal habit, which have problems such as low bulk density and poor fluidity, and seriously affect the post-processing process of the product. Therefore, it is of great significance to control the crystal habit of amino acids. Additives are directly effective in regulating the crystal habit of amino acids and are widely used in industrial production. In this paper, the mechanism of additives on the growth of amino acid crystals is reviewed from the perspectives of inhibiting or promoting crystal growth. There are two main mechanisms for the inhibition of crystal growth by additives: one is that the additive molecules are adsorbed on the crystal surface, which hinders the diffusion and aggregation of solute molecules, the other is that the additive molecules are embedded in the crystal lattice and occupy growth sites. The mechanism of additive promoting crystal growth is that the additive accelerates the aggregation rate of solute molecules on the crystal surface, roughens the crystal surface and reduces the energy barrier removal of the solvent layer. Finally, we propose the prospect of directionally regulating the amino acid crystal growth through molecular design of additives from the perspective of crystal engineering.

Sulfide in refinery sewage is a malodorous substance.It is volatile and may result in obvious odor in the plant air.This may endanger the health of operators and cause corrosion of equipment.And sulfide has adverse effects on downstream biochemical treatment.This paper summarizes the development status,application and respective advantages and disadvantages of different desulfurization and deodorization technologies for sulfur-containing sewage at home and abroad.It highlights the characteristics of catalytic oxidation desulfurization technology.Since the sulfur content of crude oil is increasing year by year and there’s increasing sulfur content in refinery sewage,the environmental pressure on refineries is increasing accordingly.Hence the development of catalytic oxidation sewage desulfurization and deodorization technology using air as the oxidation source is promising,but there are also certain technical risks and challenges in the development process.
A series of hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (h-PEI) functioned with terminal amine groups is synthesized to remove oil from O/W emulsion. The demulsifier dehydration rate of h-PEI is systematically evaluated with the subsidiary facilities of DLS analysis, digital tensiometer and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results indicate that h-PEI demulsifier displays satisfactory demulsification (the oil removal rate > 90%) with small dosage (< 80 mg L-1) and short settling time (< 30 min). The relatively short equilibrium time and great demulsification are ascribed to the amine groups and the molecular weight. On one hand, the hyperbranched macromolecules with amine groups can rapidly diffuse and adsorb to the oil-water interface, on the other hand, the molecules with adequate molecular weight are apt to flocculate, coalesce oil droplets, and then obtain high-efficient demulsi-fication. The exceptional demulsification performance of h-PEI exhibits a potential role application in industrial water treatment or the petroleum demulsification industry.

Novel heavy atom free 5,5-dioxoyphenothiazine-based ?D?A?D? emitters with aggregation-induced emission (AIE), room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), white light emission and dual-mode mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) characteristics have been designed and synthesized. Impressively, DCzCs and DCzCs-Et showed persistent RTP (pRTP) in the crystalline state with lifetimes of 528 ms and 137 ms in air, respectively. DCzCs-Ac exhibited white light emission with a CIE coordinate of (0.25, 0.26), due to the dual emission of fluorescence and phosphorescence. Detailed studies have shown that through simply functional group modification on the acceptor skeleton to modulate the molecular structure and intermolecular interactions, we fine-tuned the optical properties of the luminogens and realized white light emission. The dense crystal packing was proved to be closely related to the phosphorescence of the system and the special dual-mode MCL behavior was attributed to the conversion of crystalline-amorphous state under external force.
