Decomposition of urea in aqueous solution was carried out using a microwave discharge electrodeless lamp (MDEL) consisting of two photoreactors with a triple tube structure that generate vacuum-UV/UV light and reactive oxygen species (ROS) using microwaves (MW) as an energy source. The rate of decomposition of urea was highest under acidic conditions (pH 4) compared with those at pH 7 and 10. When used in combination with dispersed TiO, a photocatalyst, high decomposition efficiency was achieved with less power consumption. Moreover, decomposition efficiency more than two times higher than that of ozone oxidation and sodium hypochlorite oxidation could be realized.

Microwave electrodeless ultraviolet (MWUV) technology, as an emerging food processing technique, has garnered growing attention in the realm of food science in recent years. Based on different application requirements, MWUV equipment types are categorized as microwave oven reactor, continuous-flow UV-microwave reactor, coaxially driven MWUV reactor, and complete ultraviolet reactor. The luminescence properties of MWUV equipment depend on their filler gas; mercury is commonly used as a filler gas to produce a wavelength at 253.

Thermal burns of the larynx are uncommon but can lead to serious upper airway obstruction due to edema and bleeding, especially in children who may struggle to communicate their symptoms effectively. This report presents the case of a one-year-and-seven-month-old boy who developed stridor and respiratory distress after eating a heated potato, which ultimately required tracheal intubation. The initial evaluation suggested foreign body aspiration; however, laryngoscopy confirmed significant arytenoid swelling and airway narrowing due to thermal burns.

The development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (QSSLMBs) is hindered by inadequate interfacial contact, poor wettability between electrodes and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, and significant volume changes during long-term cycling, leading to safety risks and cataclysmic failures. Here, we report an innovative approach to enhance interfacial properties through the construction of QSSLMBs. A multilayer design integrates a microwave-synthesized LiAlTi(PO) (LATP) ceramic electrolyte, which is surface-coated with a lithiophilic conductive ink comprising VS and disulfonated functionalized graphene nanosheets (VS-DSGNS) using a low-cost nail-polish binder.

The release of toxic chemical dyes from the industrial effluent poses huge challenges for the environmental engineers to treat it. Azo dyes encompass the huge part of textile discharges which are difficult to degrade due to their complex chemical aromatic structures and due to the presence of strong bonds (-N=N-). Thus, the removal of a carcinogenic azo dye (i.

Multipactor, a vacuum discharge under microwave conditions triggered by secondary electron emission (SEE), plays a critical role in managing the power level of microwave devices. In this study, we developed a fluorocarbon-titanium composite film on aluminum by cosputtering polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and titanium via a controlled temperature and sputtering power ratio (RF power for PTFE to DC power for Ti) to suppress the SEE of Al. The evolution of microtopography and chemical composition of the composite film was evaluated.
