Article Abstract
This study investigated the biological removal of ethylene by Pseudomonas strains in a batch test and a biofilter column. In the batch test, no removal of ethylene was found in the absence of inoculated system, whereas more than 50% of the ethylene in the presence of inoculated system was degraded within 17 h, and completely removed after 25 h. The biofilter, packed with activated carbons, was capable of achieving ethylene removal efficiency as much as 100% at a residence time of 14 min and an inlet concentration of 331 mg m-3. Under the same conditions, carbon dioxide with a concentration of up to 1097 mg m-3 was produced. It was found that carbon dioxide was produced at a rate of 87 mg day-1, which corresponded to a volume of 0.05 L day-1. During operation with an inlet ethylene of 331 mg m-3, the maximum elimination capacity of the biofilter was 34 g C2H4 m-3 day-1. This biological system could reduce the ethylene concentration to levels below the threshold limit for the plant hormonal response (0.01 mg m-3), and provide an attractive treatment technology in horticultural storage facilities.

Adsorbents with high selectivity and adsorption capacity are of significant interest for the removal of dye pollutants. Herein, we report a facile low-temperature solvothermal synthesis of clew-like CuO/CuO microspheres by using cupric acetate monohydrate as the copper resource and ethylene glycol as the solvent and morphology modulator. The synthesized CuO/CuO microspheres showed high selective adsorption to anionic dyes (e.

Bacterial infections and excessive accumulation of wound exudates remain the main obstacles and clinical challenges to the healing of chronic cutaneous wounds. Conventional dressings are commonly used medical materials for acute wound care, but they do not possess the bacterial infection resistance required for chronic wound treatment. Herein, we prepared pure chitosan nanofibrous membranes (C) by electrospinning with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a sacrificial additive and then loaded with zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) as a novel antimicrobial wound dressing.

Due to the increased prevalence of plastic pollution globally, atmospheric deposition of microplastics (MPs) is a significant issue that needs to be better understood to identify potential consequences for human health. This study is the first to quantify and characterize atmospheric MP deposition in the Eastern United States. Passive sampling was conducted at two locations within the Eastern United States, specifically in remote South Central Appalachia, from March to September 2023.

Separation of multi-component mixtures in an energy-efficient manner has important practical impact in chemical industry but is highly challenging. Especially, targeted simultaneous removal of multiple impurities to purify the desired product in one-step separation process is an extremely difficult task. We introduced a pore integration strategy of modularizing ordered pore structures with specific functions for on-demand assembly to deal with complex multi-component separation systems, which are unattainable by each individual pore.

Fruits are susceptible to ethylene ripening and microbial infestation, which can lead to spoilage and further significant economic losses. Thus, using functional preservation materials is an effective controlling technology to improve the post-harvest quality and extend the shelf life of fruits. Hence, a dual-function cellulose-based paper with exceptional antibacterial efficiency, favourable ethylene removal performance, improved mechanical and hydrophobic properties was prepared by covalently grafted antibacterial guanidine salt and surface-modified ethylene scavenger.
