Simulated wastewater containing o-, m- and p-cresol was used respectively to study the effects of substituted position on adsorption and desorption and the feasibility of activated carbon adsorption-bioregeneration treatment. According to the isotherm, the adsorbability sequences in the order of p-cresol > o-cresol > m-cresol, which is positively correlated to pK(a) and negatively correlated to solubility and critical oxidation potential (COP); and the desorbability sequences in the order of o-cresol > m-cresol > p-cresol, which is negatively correlated to boiling point and viscosity. According to comparative analysis, irreversible adsorption is found to be the main reason for differences between adsorption and desorption isotherms. A mathematical statistics method was applied to estimate the amount of irreversible adsorption. The irreversible adsorption amounts of o, m, p-cresol are 27.9 mg/g, 28.5 mg/g and 33.4 mg/g, respectively.

Ionic liquid (IL) units in heterogeneous catalysts exhibit synergistic effects to enhance catalytic performance and stabilize catalytically active centers, while also preventing the degradation of catalysts during the reaction process. Ionic liquid units in IL-functionalized CMOF catalysts enhance their catalytic performance in a synergistic manner. However, not only are the yields of IL-functionalized CMOFs obtained with post-synthesis methods low, but they also lead to blocking of the MOF pores and leaching of the ionic liquid.

Green, efficient treatment of crude oil spills and oil pollutants is a global challenge, with adsorption technology favored for its efficiency and low environmental impact. The development of an environmentally friendly adsorbent with high hydrophobicity, excellent adsorption performance, and degradability is crucial to overcoming the limitations of petroleum-based adsorbents. Here, a lignin-based polyurethane foam (LPUF) with superhydrophobic and photothermal oil-absorbing properties was fabricated by incorporating octadecyltrimethoxysilane into the foam system.

Alkaline fusion is a pivotal process influencing the cost of synthesizing zeolite from coal gangue. This study examined the effects of alkaline fusion temperature ( ), treatment duration ( ) and the NaOH/coal gangue weight ratio ( ) on the composition and properties of the products, as well as their adsorption capacities for Cd ( ) and Pb ( ). Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to analyze the interactions among these factors, and the adsorption mechanisms for Cd and Pb were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-EDS, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and N adsorption-desorption techniques.
