[Green Transformation of Industrial Structure of Jiaxing City Driven by Synergizing the Reduction of Pollution and Carbon Emissions].

The "Implementation Plan for Reduction of Pollution and Carbon Emissions" emphasizes the need to explore mechanisms for pollution and carbon emission reductions, strengthen efforts for synergistic reduction, and accelerate the green and low-carbon development in different types of cities. Thus, this study established a multi-objective optimization model for the industrial structure of the city based on green total factor productivity （GTFP）, which was applied to Jiaxing, an emerging coastal city. The results indicated an overall 8% increase in GTFP across various industries in Jiaxing from 2016 to 2019.

Uncovering the features of industrial odors-derived environmental complaints and proactive countermeasures by using machine-learning.

Industrial odor-derived environmental complaints pose an emerging and far-reaching challenge in cities worldwide with intensive industries. Developing effective odor complaint management strategies is essential for mitigating the public impact of industrial odors. Based on a typical case of persistent tire manufacturing odors affecting local communities, we proposed an environmental complaint risks (ECR) prediction model using machine-learning (ML) approaches, which combined complaints with temporal-resolution manufacturing-meteorology-environment data.

Deploying green hydrogen to decarbonize China's coal chemical sector.

China's coal chemical sector uses coal as both a fuel and feedstock and its increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are hard to abate by electrification alone. Here we explore the GHG mitigation potential and costs for onsite deployment of green H and O in China's coal chemical sector, using a life-cycle assessment and techno-economic analyses. We estimate that China's coal chemical production resulted in GHG emissions of 1.

Patient Preferences and Their Influence on Chronic Hepatitis B-A Review.

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a common chronic viral infectious disease that requires long-term treatment to control the condition and prevent complications. To standardize treatment regimens for CHB, professional associations have established relevant guidelines, but they have often overlooked patient preferences. Historically, in the treatment process, medical decisions were predominantly made by physicians or health care administrators, with limited patient involvement, leading to the neglect of patient preferences.

Unveiling the Nexus Profile of Embodied Water-Energy-Carbon-Value Flows of the Yellow River Basin in China.

Unveiling the nexus profile of the water-energy-carbon (WEC) and value flows embodied in regional trade is essential for enhancing the co-benefits between economic development and environment conservation. However, minimal research explores the WEC and value-added nexus efficiency of the Yellow Basin River (YRB) with a comprehensive framework. Thus, this study built a nexus framework based on a multiregional input-output model (MRIO) to analyze embodied WEC and value-added flows in the nine provinces of the YRB and all 31 provinces of China, primarily in 2017 compared to 2012 and 2015.

VO-assisted multifunctional metamaterial for polarization conversion and asymmetric transmission.

A VO-assisted temperature-controlled multifunctional metamaterial polarization converter with large asymmetric transmission (AT) is proposed by introducing a gold-VO grating. The converter can be switched between reflection mode and transmission mode by controlling the phase transition. When VO is in the metallic state, the converter works in reflection mode, converting the incident forward/backward linearly/circularly polarized waves into the cross-polarized waves, and the broadband polarization conversion rates (PCRs) can reach 90% with relative bandwidth of up to 91.

The occurrence, distribution and removal of adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) in a typical fine chemical industrial park.

Coastal water quality in China has been impacted by direct discharge of industrial wastewater, and various kinds of AOX pollutants have been detected in the seawater and sediment. As the dominant pollution source of Hangzhou Bay, a typical fine chemical industry park "HSEDA" was selected as the study area in this research. The AOX in both wastewater and sludge phases from 22 large-scaled enterprises were simultaneously investigated.

Managing Methane Emissions in Abandoned Coal Mines: Comparison of Different Recovery Technologies by Integrating Techno-Economic Analysis and Life-Cycle Assessment.

Methane emissions from worldwide increasing abandoned coal mines have posed multiple challenges of global warming, energy waste, and explosion risk. This study first profiles the dynamic patterns of coal mine methane emissions in different recovery technologies, methane extraction with drainage (MEWD, mine-water concurrently extracted and treated) and direct methane extraction (DME, noncontrol on mine-water), in two abandoned mines from Ningxia and Inner Mongolia as China's leading coal provinces. Then, we conducted a techno-economic analysis and life-cycle assessment to quantify their comprehensive benefits.

Ozone oxidation of 2,4,6-TCP in the presence of halide ions: Kinetics, degradation pathways and toxicity evaluation.

2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) is extensively consumed in industrial production and may cause environmental damages. The effect of halide ions on the decomposition of 2,4,6-TCP has often been overlooked. In this study, the bromide ion was found to have a stronger negative impact on 2,4,6-TCP degradation than chloride ion in the O system, and led to the formation of adsorbable organic halogens (AOX).

An industrial structure adjustment model to facilitate high-quality development of an eco-industrial park.

The tradeoff between economic growth and environmental protection has been a critical issue in facilitating eco-industrial park development in China. As the principal contributors to China's industrial output, many industrial parks have been addressing the issues of intensive resource consumption and pollutant generation, driven by much stricter regulations on the environment and resource management. Retuning the industrial structure is a substantial way to address the environmental issues while promoting economic development, which are the goals of eco-industrial development.

[Accounting Methods of VOCs Emission Associated with Production Processes in a Fine Chemical Industrial Park].

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the key atmospheric pollutants associated with great impact on air quality. Industrial sources have become the most important source of VOCs emissions in China, of which the chemical industry accounts for a large part. At present, more than half of chemical manufacturers are clustered in chemical industrial parks (CIPs), thus the control of VOCs in CIPs is crucial.

Mapping anthropogenic mineral generation in China and its implications for a circular economy.

Anthropogenic mineral is absorbing wide concern in the context of circular economy, but its generation mechanism and quantity from product to waste remain unclear. Here we consider three product groups, 30 products, and use the revised Weibull lifespan model to map the generation of anthropogenic mineral and 23 types of the capsulated materials by targeting their evolution from 2010 to 2050. Total weight of anthropogenic mineral on average in China reached 39 Mt in 2010, but it will double in 2022 and quadruple in 2045.
