The Odor Release Regularity of Livestock and Poultry Manure and the Screening of Deodorizing Strains.

Human living environments and health are seriously affected by the odor produced from fermentation of livestock and poultry manure. In order to reduce the odor pollution caused by livestock and poultry manure, efficient strains were screened and two methods were tried in this study. The orthogonal test design was used to analyze the gas produced by pig manure under different conditions of temperature, time, wheat straw doping amount and calcium carbonate doping amount.

Templated fabrication of hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks and simulation of crystal growth.

Hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as a novel crystalline hybrid material with tunable porosity. Many efforts have been made to develop hierarchically porous MOFs, yet their low-energy fabrication remains a challenge and the underlying mechanism is still unknown. In this study, the rapid fabrication of two hierarchically porous MOFs (Cu-BTC and ZIF-8) was carried out at room temperature and ambient pressure for 10 min using a novel surfactant as the template in a (Cu, Zn) hydroxy double salt (HDS) solution, where the (Cu, Zn) HDS accelerated the nucleation of crystals and the anionic surfactants served as templates to fabricate mesopores and macropores.

Hierarchically porous metal-organic frameworks: rapid synthesis and enhanced gas storage.

Large pore sizes, high pore volumes, facile synthesis conditions, and high space-time yields are recognized as four crucial criteria in the fabrication of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, these four objectives are rarely realized together. Herein, we have developed a simple and versatile method that employs 1,4-butanediamine (BTDM) as a template for rapidly fabricating four stable hierarchically porous MOFs (H-MOFs), including HKUST-1, ZIF-8, ZIF-67, and ZIF-90.
