Magnesium-aluminum oxide (Mg-Al oxide) obtained by thermal decomposition of Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) effectively removed HCl from gaseous streams. HCl removal was greater in the presence of added water vapor at all temperatures examined and increased with decreasing temperature in both the presence and absence of added water vapor. Wet and dry removal of gaseous HCl were attributed to the production of MgCl2 . 6H2O and MgCl2 . 4H2O, respectively. For the wet scrubbing process, the reconstruction reaction of Mg-Al LDH from Mg-Al oxide was the primary mechanism for increased HCl removal.

A mixture fraction approach was applied to predict the combustion behavior of polymeric materials. In comparison to the combustion of gaseous mixtures, the presence of solid fuels complicates the description of the combustion. Accurate predictions of burning characteristics can only be achieved through the proper resolution of heat and mass transfer between the gas-phase flame and the solid fuel.

Three phases of matter intermingle in various environments. The phenomena behind these fluctuations provide microbial cultures with beneficial interphase on the borderlines. Correspondingly, a bioreactor broth usually consists of a liquid phase but also contains solid particles, gas bubbles, technical surfaces, and other niches, both on a visible scale and microscopically.

Although terrestrial ecosystems have been widely recognized as an important atmospheric carbon (C) sink, the net C sink capacity may have been overestimated due to C loss through aquatic ecosystems, particularly in catchments with fragile landscapes and intense human disturbances. Here, we integrated the three primary pathways of aquatic C export, including C burial, gaseous C emissions, and downstream C export, into the terrestrial-aquatic C assessment within the Wujiang River basin (WRB) in Southwest China, a typical karst river-reservoir system with cascade reservoirs. The assessment reports a net landscape C sink of 12.

Background: Excess nitrogen (N) loading to coastal ecosystems impairs estuarine water quality. Land management decisions made within estuarine watersheds have a direct impact on downstream N delivery. Natural features within watersheds can act as landscape sinks for N, such as wetlands, streams and ponds that transform dissolved N into gaseous N, effectively removing it from the aquatic system.

Mercury poses a significant threat to air, soil, and water ecosystems. Mercury-based alloys, aka amalgams, are already known for their effectiveness in mercury capture in water and gaseous streams. However, limited research has been published on direct amalgamation, the process involving a direct redox reaction between two metals, occurring on the surface of amorphous silica.
