High-performance, stable CoNi LDH@Ni foam composite membrane with innovative peroxymonosulfate activation for 2,4-dichlorophenol destruction.

In this study, the cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxides (CoNi LDH) were synthesized with a variety of Co/Ni mass ratio, as CoNi LDHs. In comparison, CoNi LDH presented the best peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation efficiency for 2,4-dichlorophenol removal. Meanwhile, CoNi LDH@Nickel foam (CoNi LDH@NF) composite membrane was constructed for enhancing the stability of catalytic performance.

A novel iron molybdate photocatalyst with heterojunction-like band gap structure for organic pollutant degradation by activation of persulfate under simulated sunlight irradiation.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) applied to wastewater treatment have become increasingly well developed and the ability of a single technology to remove difficult organic pollutants is limited. One of the main limiting factors is the insufficient variety and quantity of active species generated during the reaction process and catalyst failure. The coupling of the two methods is a practical and effective approach.

Effect of the Internal Humidity of Concrete on Frost Resistance and Air Void Structure under Different Low Temperature Conditions.

From the perspective of combining macroscopic and microscopic properties, this paper simulates the freeze-thaw cycle process at different freezing low temperatures based on the climate simulation equipment and by setting the curing conditions with different temperatures and relative humidity to produce different moisture conditions in concrete. The frost resistance properties and microscopic air void performance of concrete with different internal water content under different freezing low temperatures in freeze-thaw cycles were systematically studied. The results show that the higher the internal water content of concrete, the more obvious the mass loss rate and dynamic elastic modulus loss of concrete in the freeze-thaw process, and the more serious the deterioration of the air void parameter performance of the air-entraining agent introduced into concrete, which is manifested as the average bubble diameter and bubble spacing factor become larger and the bubble specific surface area decreases.

Metabolic profiles of oligosaccharides derived from four microbial polysaccharides by faecal inocula from type 2 diabetes patients.

digestion of curdlan oligosaccharides (COSs), pullulan oligosaccharides (POSs), xanthan gum oligosaccharides (XGOSs) and gellan gum oligosaccharides (GGOSs) was investigated. These four oligosaccharides showed resistance to simulated saliva and gastric and small intestinal fluid. In further fermentation with faecal microbiota from healthy subjects and type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, COS fermentation significantly increased the abundance of spp.
