Ultrafine nano-silica, with its smaller particle size compared to conventional nano-silica, is typically synthesized via gas-phase methods that require complex raw materials and processes. Here, we report optimized conditions for preparing ultrafine nano-silica via a precipitation reaction between fluosilicic acid waste and aluminum hydroxide. The optimal conditions determined were as follows: reverse feeding, surfactant addition at 3.0%, aluminum-to-silicon ratio of 2.00, reaction time of 30 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C, and stirring rate of 250 rpm. Under these conditions, ultrafine nano-silica with a uniform particle size of approximately 11 nm was successfully synthesized. Characterization of samples prepared by different feeding methods showed that the reverse feeding method yielded ultrafine nano-silica with superior performance indicators compared to the forward feeding method. Analysis of system changes during synthesis indicated that the feeding method influenced the acidic or alkaline environment of the substrate, affecting SiF 4 hydrolysis and the subsequent dehydration and condensation of Si-(OH) 4 monomers, leading to variations in silica particle agglomeration. Further, an analysis of the effects of alkyl chains in surfactants on the surfaces of silica particles, including -OH substitution or Si-O-Si bond cleavage, provided insights into the action mechanism of surface groups on ultrafine nano-silica particles.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) whiskers are promising materials for the high-value utilization of calcium-based resources. Here, aragonite whiskers were synthesized at a carbonation temperature of 90 °C using carbide slag ammonium leachate as the calcium source and CO2 as the precipitant. The effects of control agents, carbonation temperature, Ca2+ solution feeding rate, CO2 flow rate, and stirring speed on whisker morphology and aspect ratio were systematically investigated. Characterization via SEM and XRD revealed that the optimal conditions—carbonation temperature of 90 °C, Ca2+ feeding rate of 1.2 mL∙min−1, ethanol addition of 2 mL, CO2 flow rate of 150 mL∙min−1, and stirring speed of 300 rpm—yielded uniform CaCO3 whiskers with an average length of ~10 μm, an aspect ratio of ~24, and an aragonite purity of 99.42%. TEM confirmed that the whiskers are single crystals growing preferentially along the [001] direction. Hydroxyl groups were found to suppress lateral growth on the (200) facet, favoring elongation along the c-axis and enabling high-aspect-ratio whisker formation. These findings provide useful guidance for the scalable synthesis and industrial application of aragonite whiskers.
The synergistic flame retardancy of PC/ABS alloy is investigated using TiO2 coated by microcapsulated red phosphorus(TDP)as the main flame retardant,which is produced in situ by tetrabutyl titanate hydrolysis reaction.Taking the LOI value and UL-94 grade of PC/ABS composite as the main index,TDP-based ternary synergistic system with mass ratio of TDP∶ZnO∶DOPO=16∶4∶5 is determined as the most suitable flame retardant.Characterization of combustion characteristics,flame retardancy,and mechanical properties indicate that with the increase of the addition of flame retardant TDP/ZnO/DOPO,the combustion characteristics,such as TTI,PHRR,THR,AEHC,peak CO2 release value,etc,decrease,while the bending strength and tensile strength decrease slightly,particularly,the flame retardancy(LOI value,UL-94 grade)increase.Considering this,5%(mass fraction)is determined as the most suitable addition of ternary synergistic composite flame retardant,under which the LOI value of the PC/ABS composite reach to 28.6%with UL-94 grade of V-0.The TTI,PHRR,THR,AEHC,and peak values of CO2 emission decrease by 27.27%,21.62%,22.10%,5.95%,and 25.97%,respectively,while the tensile strength and bending strength of the composite decrease by only 19.65%and 13.26%,respectively.The preliminary discussion on the affection mechanism of the ternary synergistic system to PC/ABS alloy suggests that the flame retardancy is attributed to the synergistic action of the gas phase flame-retardant mechanism of DOPO and the condensed phase flame-retardant mechanism of TDP and ZnO.
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is a widely used flame retardant in polymer materials; however, the poor dispersion due to its high hydrophilic nature results in disappointing thermal stability and fire safety. In this work, LDH was in-situ grown on the disordered montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets to obtain the hybrid of LDH and MMT nanosheets (LDH@MMT, simplified as LM). Various techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscope were used to characterize the microstructure of LM. In addition, the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) composite containing LM and intumescent flame retardant (IFR) was prepared, and its mechanical and flame-retardant properties were also measured. The characterization results demonstrate that the LM exhibits a periodically alternating layered structure. The Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of the ABS composite reaches 27.2% with a V-0 rating in the UL-94 vertical burning test, while its flexural strength and tensile strength decrease by only 17.82% and 13.45%, respectively. Furthermore, the heat release rate, total heat release, smoke production rate, and carbon monoxide production rate of the ABS composite present a significant decline in cone calorimeter tests compared with those of pure ABS. The results further indicate that the hybridization could effectively improve the flame-retardant performance of ABS composites and perform lesser impacts on their mechanical properties.

Efficient catalysts for oxygen (O2) activation under room condition are required for effective wet air oxidation (WAO) technology. Here, we report a novel manganese-cobalt-based composite (MnO-CoO@Co) fabricated on a graphite felt (GF) support for catalyzing the electro-activation of O2 under room condition. Abundant Co-MnO and CoO-MnO heterointerfaces are formed in the composite. In comparison to the single-metal counterparts, i.e. CoO@Co/GF (16.99 wt% Co) and MnO/GF (26.83 wt% Mn), the bimetal MnO-CoO@Co/GF (5.29 wt% Co and 8.79 wt% Mn) displays an improved oxygen storage capacity and provides more active sites to accommodate surface adsorbed oxygen species. Notably, the strong synergy derived from bimetal heterointerfaces enhances the electron transfer and oxygen mobilization during the electro-activation of O2, thereby significantly reducing the reaction barrier. MnO-CoO@Co/GF exhibits excellent efficiency and stability in electrocatalytic WAO (ECWAO) towards the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) over a wide pH range from 4.0 to 10.0. A model pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) acquires mineralization efficiency of 78.4 ± 2.1% and mineralization current efficiency of 157.89% at +1.0 V of electrode potential. The toxicity of PPCPs can be totally eliminated after the ECWAO treatment. This work highlights the synergy derived from bimetal heterointerfaces in O2 electrocatalysis, and provides a promising approach for advanced WAO catalysts in PPCPs pollution control.

The difficult-to-remove CaSO4 scale layer attached to an evaporator wall is a major problem in related industries. How to efficiently remove the CaSO4 scale layer and convert it into fine chemicals with high added value, so as to turn waste into treasure, is a current research hotspot. In this study, a CaSO4 scale layer was removed by 15 min rotary washing via a phase transfer route. Further, using the eluted calcium gluconate solution as a raw material and polyethylene glycol as the crystal control agent, CaCO3 was prepared by a CO2 carbonization method. The preparation conditions of CaCO3 were optimized by single factor experiments, and the phase and morphology of the prepared samples were characterized by XRD and FESEM. The results show that the optimized conditions are as follows: reaction temperature 80 °C, reaction time 1 h, polyethylene glycol addition 3%, and a stirring rate of 400 rpm. The samples prepared under these conditions are pure-phase calcite-type CaCO3 microrods with lengths of 1-2 μm and diameters of 300-500 nm.

Electrocatalytic wet air oxidation (ECWAO) is a novel wet air oxidation technology using an anodic electric field to stimulate oxygen for catalytic oxidation of water pollutants at ambient condition. Herein, a mechanistic kinetic model is established based on the degradation of bisphenol A in an ECWAO process with manganese oxide (MnOx) catalysts, and the general applicability of the model is verified by triclosan degradation over a Ni@NiO catalyst and sulfamethoxazole degradation over a MnMoOx catalyst. Elementary steps involved in solid-catalyzed reaction and the assistant role of anodic electric field in the catalysis are taken into consideration. A group of kinetic equations based on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-HougenWatson (LHHW) or Eley-Rideal (ER) rate laws are evaluated using the criteria of the minimization of the residual sum of squares and average error. The results show that the ECWAO reaction is best described by the LHHW model in which the surface reaction between adsorbed oxygen and adsorbed organic molecules is the rate-determining step. The key parameters controlling ECWAO reaction kinetics are the adsorption equilibrium constant of oxygen and rate constant of the surface reaction. According to the kinetic model, the reaction rates of organic pollutants are nearly linear dependent upon their concentrations within a certain range. With the increment of the circuit current, the reaction rates of organic pollutants first rise, then reach a plateau, and finally decline. The mechanistic kinetic model proves to be applicable for interpreting and predicting the ECWAO rates of organics over the transition metal oxide catalysts.
With the development of science and technology, people also pay more and more attention to the development of new energy. Although there are also many studies on integrated energy systems now, integrated energy systems containing energy storage should also be further studied. This paper proposes an optimization of integrated energy system for combined cooling, heating and power supply of new energy based on energy storage, which analyzes the gas turbine, absorption refrigerating machine, electric refrigerator, photovoltaic power generation units, wind turbine and the work characteristics of the energy storage device. In this paper, an integrated energy system optimization model of new energy cogeneration with energy storage equipment is established. An example shows that the integrated energy system with energy storage can effectively solve the independent decoupling operation relationship among cool, heat and electricity. At the same time, the proposed model can also solve the energy interaction among cool, heat and electricity. In this way, the optimal operation of the integrated energy system can be realized.
Abstract In this article, a powerful method to synthesize uniform CaCO3 rod bundles with a high mass fraction of aragonite from carbide slag in large‐scale production via a two‐step leaching‐precipitation process is reported. The effects of the addition of ethylene glycol and reaction temperature on the structure and morphology of the prepared CaCO3 samples were investigated and then demonstrated by the experimental results. It is beneficial to increase the mass fraction of aragonite in CaCO3 samples and ensure the formation of regular rod bundles in morphology when the addition of ethylene glycol is 30 mL and the reaction temperature is 80 °C. The formation mechanism of the CaCO3 rod bundles was preliminarily discussed according to the Muffins–Sekerka theory.
