CuBr2 in the multi-porous ceramic membrane can release Br2 at high temperature, which was employed as the oxidant for Hg0 oxidation. Hg0 oxidation efficiency was studied by a membrane catalysis device. Meanwhile, a reaction and in situ monitoring device was designed to avoid the impact of Br2 on the downstream pipe. The result showed that the MnO(x)/alpha-Al2O3 catalysis membrane had a considerable "controlled-release" effect on Br2 produced by CuBr2 decomposition. The adsorption and reaction of Hg0 and Br2 on the surface of catalysis membrane obeyed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. The removal efficiency of Hg0 increased with the rising of Br2 concentration. However, when Br2 reached a certain concentration, the removal efficiency was limited by adsorption rate and reaction rate of Hg0 and Br2 on the catalysis membrane. From 473 K to 573 K, the variation of Hg0 oxidation efficiency was relatively stable. SO2 in flue gas inhibited the oxidation of Hg0 while NO displayed no obvious effect.

Rice leaves can assimilate atmospheric mercury (Hg), which is accumulated by grains and causes health risks to rice consumers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Hg assimilation in rice leaves remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated catalase's (CAT) function in Hg oxidation within rice leaves, as well as the Hg speciation and transcriptomic profiles of rice leaves exposed to Hg.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on a new catalyst, 0.9PPD-Cu/CA, for converting carbonyl sulfide (COS) in natural gas, aiming to address issues like catalyst deactivation and high temperatures by incorporating nitrogen and copper oxide into carbon aerogel.
- - At 40 °C, the catalyst achieved 100% COS conversion when water vapor was present, with improvements due to nitrogen doping enhancing its basicity and adsorption of reaction intermediates, indicating its bifunctional capabilities.
- - The addition of mercury (Hg) provided synergistic effects, boosting COS yield and prolonging the catalyst's life by improving electron transfer and reducing catalyst poisoning, while the study also examined factors like space velocity and regeneration potential

Article Synopsis
- High levels of water vapor in flue gas reduce the effectiveness of activated carbon in capturing mercury.
- Hydrophobic activated carbon was developed using HMDSO, significantly improving its ability to repel water and increase mercury removal efficiency under certain humidity conditions.
- In high-humidity environments, interactions between pollutants like NO and SO can enhance mercury adsorption, while NH competes with mercury for the active sites on the activated carbon, hindering its efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- Effective mercury (Hg) removal from wastewater is crucial due to its toxicity, particularly in the form of methylmercury (MeHg), and this study explores enhanced techniques using constructed wetlands (CWs).
- Combining zero-valent iron (ZVI) with pyrrhotite significantly improved the removal rates of total Hg, dissolved Hg, and particulate Hg by approximately 21.68%, 13.02%, and 22.27%, respectively, compared to using ZVI or pyrrhotite alone.
- The synergy between ZVI and pyrrhotite boosts iron corrosion, facilitates Hg reduction, and enhances the generation of essential enzymes, making it a promising method for efficient Hg treatment in wastewater systems.
