Sulfur migration mechanism of pig manure in supercritical water: A combined experimental and DFT study.

Pig manure (PM) is a high concentration organic waste rich in sulfur, and its biofuel contains various sulfur-containing pollutants, which reduces the safety of the products. Supercritical water (SCW) can dissolve most organic matter, which is a technology worthy of further study. In order to reduce sulfur pollution in the process of PM resource utilization and better control the conversion path of sulfur, it is necessary to explore the migration mechanism of sulfur in the whole PM-SCW gasification process. The experimental results indicated that H2S was the only gaseous product. Only inorganic compounds (S2-, S2O32- and SO42-) were detected in the liquid. Sulfur in the solid mainly included thiol/thioether, thiophene and sulfone. The influence of different reaction conditions (temperature, residence time, PM concentration and catalysts) on sulfur migration was studied in a batch reactor. It was worth noting that the catalysts had a significant effect on H2S absorption. The lowest H2S yield was 3.2 * 10-4 mol/kg and more than 70% of the sulfur was distributed in the liquid under the condition of addition of K2CO3. While, the RTH2110 fixed most of the sulfur of PM (the maximum value reached 50.94%) in the solid. Thus, adding the catalysts flexibly can choose composition of the products. Furthermore, six possible pathways of sulfur migration in the solid were designed and the kinetic parameters were calculated by density functional theory (DFT). The results provided a basis for controlling sulfur in PM. Subsequently, the sulfur migration pathways during PM-SCW gasification process were comprehensively summarized through the combination of experiment and DFT. It provided a method for sulfur treatment in PM, which had guiding significance for the realization of pollution-free treatment of PM.

Converting formaldehyde in methanol with MoO2 under irradiation: A pollution-free strategy for cleaning air.

Direct photocatalytic reduction of toxic formaldehyde (HCHO) in value-added chemicals and fuels is promising because that not only abates the environmental pollution, but also solves the energy shortage. Herein, self-supported MoO2 and MoO3 nanoparticles growing on Mo meshes were comparatively applied to the photocatalytic conversion of HCHO. Under UV-visble lights, MoO2 reduces HCHO in methanol (CH3OH) while MoO3 oxidizes HCHO in carbon oxide and water. Their contrary photocatalytic capacities were revealed. Compared with MoO3, the lower work function of MoO2 enables an electron-rich interface, realizing a complete reduction of 30 ppm HCHO to CH3OH in 30 min. Theoretical calculations clarify that a large number of delocalized electrons on MoO2 attracts HCHO molecule and activates its CO bond, facilitating subsequent hydrogenation and reduction of HCHO to CH3OH. As for MoO3, the wider bandgap and higher potential of valence band govern the photocatalytic oxidation of HCHO.

Pollution-free interface of 2D-MoS2/1D-CuO vdWs heterojunction for high-performance photodetector.

Van der Waals heterostructures provide a new opportunity for constructing new structures and improving the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the existing methods of constructing heterojunctions are still faced with problems such as impurity introduction, or complex preparation process and limited scope of application. Herein, a physisorption method is proposed to composite CuO nanorods on the surface of MoS2nanosheets. CuO nanorods and MoS2form type-Ⅱ heterojunctions, which promotes the separation and transport of photo-generated charge carriers. More importantly, compared with the transfer and coating methods, the physical adsorption method avoids the introduction of auxiliary materials during the whole process of constructing the heterojunction, and therefore effectively reduces the damage and pollution at the interface. The optimized MoS2/CuO heterojunction photodetector achieves a high photoresponsivity of ∼680.1 A W-1and a fast response speed of ∼29µs. The results demonstrate that the physisorption method provides a feasible approach to realize high performance photodetectors with pollution-free interfaces, and it can also be extended to the development of other low-dimensional hybrid heterojunction electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Fabrication and Investigation of Graphite-Flake-Composite-Based Non-Invasive Flex Multi-Functional Force, Acceleration, and Thermal Sensor.

This work examines the physics of a non-invasive multi-functional elastic thin-film graphite flake-isoprene sulfone composite sensor. The strain design and electrical characterization of the stretching force, acceleration, and temperature were performed. The rub-in technique was used to fabricate graphite flakes and isoprene sulfone into sensors, which were then analyzed for their morphology using methods such as SEM, AFM, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to examine the device's surface and structure. Sensor impedance was measured from DC to 200 kHz at up to 20 gf, 20 m/s2, and 26-60 °C. Sensor resistance and impedance to stretching force and acceleration at DC and 200 Hz rose 2.4- and 2.6-fold and 2.01- and 2.06-fold, respectively. Temperature-measuring devices demonstrated 2.65- and 2.8-fold decreases in resistance and impedance at DC and 200 kHz, respectively. First, altering the graphite flake composite particle spacing may modify electronic parameters in the suggested multi-functional sensors under stress and acceleration. Second, the temperature impacts particle and isoprene sulfone properties. Due to their fabrication using an inexpensive deposition technique, these devices are environmentally friendly, are simple to build, and may be used in university research in international poverty-line nations. In scientific laboratories, such devices can be used to teach students how various materials respond to varying environmental circumstances. They may also monitor individuals undergoing physiotherapy and vibrating surfaces in a controlled setting to prevent public health risks.

Pollution-Free and Highly Sensitive Lactate Detection in Cell Culture Based on a Microfluidic Chip.

Cell metabolite detection is important for cell analysis. As a cellular metabolite, lactate and its detection play an important role in disease diagnosis, drug screening and clinical therapeutics. This paper reports a microfluidic chip integrated with a backflow prevention channel for cell culture and lactate detection. It can effectively realize the upstream and downstream separation of the culture chamber and the detection zone, and prevent the pollution of cells caused by the potential backflow of reagent and buffer solutions. Due to such a separation, it is possible to analyze the lactate concentration in the flow process without contamination of cells. With the information of residence time distribution of the microchannel networks and the detected time signal in the detection chamber, it is possible to calculate the lactate concentration as a function of time using the de-convolution method. We have further demonstrated the suitability of this detection method by measuring lactate production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The microfluidic chip presented here shows good stability in metabolite quick detection and can work continuously for more than a few days. It sheds new insights into pollution-free and high-sensitivity cell metabolism detection, showing broad application prospects in cell analysis, drug screening and disease diagnosis.

[Effects of natural organic soil amendments on quality of Panax notoginseng].

The effects of four natural organic soil amendments on the quality and pesticide residues of Panax notoginseng were investigated through field experiments and the suitable dosage ratio of each soil amendment was selected to provide a new idea for the pollution-free cultivation of P. notoginseng. The four natural organic soil amendments used in this study were Jishibao, Jihuo, Fudujing, and omnipotent nutrients, which were produced by mixed fermentation of aboveground parts of different plants, biological waste residue, and biochar. During the experiments, only four soil amendments were applied to P. notoginseng instead of any pesticides and fertilizers. The experiment was designed as four factors and three levels. There were three dosage gradients(low, medium, and high) for Jishibao(A), Jihuo(B), Fudujing(C), and omnipotent nutrients(D). When the dosage of one soil amendment changed, the do-sage of the other soil amendments remained medium. There were 10 groups in addition to the soil amendment-free group as control(CK). The results showed that the four soil amendments could significantly improve the growth environment of P. notoginseng and increase the seedling survival rate and saponin content of P. notoginseng. The seedling survival rates of the treatment groups increased by 8.24%-30.05% as compared with the control group. Furthermore, the content of pesticide residues in P. notoginseng was too low to be detected, and that of heavy metals in P. notoginseng was far lower than the specified content in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020). The optimal effect was achieved at medium dosage for all the soil amendments with the highest content of saponins, high seedling survival rate, and significantly reduced heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury.
