Towards a high-rate operation of contact stabilization process: Challenges of flocculation and floc stability.

The high-rate contact stabilization (HiCS) process, a variant of high-rate activated sludge, has gained attention for its superior energy recovery and enhanced biosorption capabilities. The need for efficient energy recovery in HiCS necessitates a high settling efficiency to minimize resource loss due to endogenous sludge consumption. However, the low sludge retention time (SRT) required for HiCS can significantly affect sludge floc stability and flocculation performance, warranting a deeper analysis of the factors influencing these characteristics.

The relationship between intolerance of uncertainty, coping style, resilience, and anxiety during the COVID-19 relapse in freshmen: A moderated mediation model.

Background: The repeated outbreaks of COVID-19 and the rapid increase in uncertainty have had many negative effects on the public's mental health, especially on emotional aspects such as anxiety and depression. However, in previous studies, there are few studies exploring the positive factors between uncertainty and anxiety.

The fate of Cd during the replacement of Cd-bearing calcite by calcium phosphate minerals.

Carbonate-bound speciation is a critical sink of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) like cadmium (Cd) in soil and sediment. In a phosphate-rich environment, carbonate minerals could be replaced by phosphate minerals such as dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD, also known as brushite), octacalcium phosphate (OCP), and hydroxylapatite (HAP). Currently, it is unclear the migration and fate of PTEs during the replacement of PTEs-bearing carbonates by HAP and related intermediate minerals.

Design of Environmentally Friendly Ca-Alginate Beads for Self-Healing Cement-Based Materials.

Ca-alginate beads have strong hygroscopicity, which have been used for the self-healing and internal curing of cement-based materials. However, ca-alginate beads in cement will chelate with calcium ions, which decreases the swelling rate of ca-alginate beads in the healing environment and is detrimental to the self-healing of cement-based materials. In this paper, the mechanism and steps for preparing ca-alginate beads with a lower ability to chelate with calcium ions were proposed based on protonation theory.
