Article Abstract

The effect of different gases, CO(2) concentration, and separation of CO(2) from reaction system on photo-fermentation H(2) production was investigated by batch culture in this study. Experimental results showed that different gases (Ar,N(2),CO(2), and air) as gas phase have obviously affected on photo-H(2) production and a high concentration of CO(2) can inhibit the growth and H(2) evolution of Rhodopseudomonas faecalis RLD-53. When CO(2) concentration at 5%, cell increased most rapidly the specific growth rate of 0.489 g/l/h and the specific growth rate fell to be 0.265 g/l/h when CO(2) concentration at 40%. However, the growth of RLD-53 at CO(2) concentration of 60-100% was almost completely inhibited. At CO(2) concentrations of 5% and 10%, the maximum H(2) yield was 2.54 and 2.59 mol-H(2)/mol acetate, respectively, and it was similar with the control (2.61 mol-H(2)/mol acetate). H(2) not produced when CO(2) concentration at 60-100%. In conclusion, separation of CO(2) from reaction system can stimulate H(2) production in the entire photo-H(2) production process and H(2) yield increased about 12.8-18.85% than the control.

Understanding the interfacial interaction mechanisms between oil and minerals is of vital importance in the applications of petroleum production and environmental protection. In this work, the interactions of dodecane with mica and calcite in aqueous media were investigated by using the drop probe technique based on atomic force microscopy. For the dodecane-mica interactions, the electrical double layer (EDL) repulsion dominated in 10 mM NaCl solution, and a higher pH facilitated the detachment of dodecane.

The reduction of CO2 to CO provides a promising approach to the production of valuable chemicals through CO2 utilization. However, challenges persist with the rapid deactivation and insufficient activity of catalysts. Herein, we developed a soft-hard dual-template method to synthesize layered MoS2 using inexpensive and scalable templates, enabling facile regulation of sulfur vacancies by controlling the number of layers.

Understanding the impact of surface copper valence states on the distribution of electrochemical carbon dioxide products is critical. Herein, CuO@Cu2O with a Cu2+/Cu+ interface was fabricated using wet chemical etching approach. The hollow shape offered a large region for gas adsorption, while the interfacial mixed chemical state of Cu2+/Cu+ with tunable control ratio raised the local density of CHO* and accelerated the carbon-carbon coupling reaction.

Insights into the subdaily variations in methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide fluxes from upland tropical tree stems.

Centre of Excellence PLECO (Plants and Ecosystems), Department of Biology, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610, Wilrijk, Belgium.

Recent studies have shown that stem fluxes, although highly variable among trees, can alter the strength of the methane (CH) sink or nitrous oxide (NO) source in some forests, but the patterns and magnitudes of these fluxes remain unclear. This study investigated the drivers of subdaily and seasonal variations in stem and soil CH, NO and carbon dioxide (CO) fluxes. CH, NO and CO fluxes were measured continuously for 19 months in individual stems of two tree species, Eperua falcata (Aubl.
