Rational design of a novel MOF-based ternary nanocomposite for effectively monitoring harmful organophosphates in foods and the environment.

Methyl parathion (MP) is a widely used organophosphate insecticide that is extremely toxic due to its ability to irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase in the body and persistently accumulate in the environment. Timely detection of MP can prevent harmful residue exposure to humans. Therefore, the development of fast, efficient electrochemical methods to detect trace MP has been highly beneficial for monitoring harmful residues in foods and environment to ensure food safety and ecological conservation.

[Composite CVOCs Removal in a Combined System of Nonthermal Plasma and a Biotrickling Filter].

A coupling system of nonthermal plasma and a biotrickling filter was used to remove a gas mixture of chlorobenzene (CB) and dichloromethane (DCE). The effects of inlet gas concentration and gas flow rate on the removal of the target pollutants in the coupling system were investigated at the frequency of 10000 Hz and specific input energy (SIE) of 6111 J·L. Furthermore, the advantages of the plasma-bio-coupled system were revealed by analyzing the relationship between the degradation products and SIE, biomass, or biodiversity in the biotrickling filter.

[Degradation Characteristics of Composite CVOCs by Non-thermal Plasma].

Non-thermal plasma was used as a pretreatment technology for bio-trickling filter, employing chlorobenzene and dichloroethane as target pollutants. This experiment was conducted to study the purification effect and degradation product in NTP under different frequency power supply,to provide a theoretical basis for coupling with biotechnology. The results showed that the removal efficiency for mixed waste gas in the plasma first increased and then decreased with the increase of the SIE.
