Efficient removal of heterocyclic organosulfur compounds from fuels can relieve increasingly serious environmental problems (e.g., gas exhaust contaminants triggering the formation of acid rain that can damage fragile ecological systems). Toward this end, novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based sorbent materials are designed and synthesized with distinct hard and soft metal building units, specifically {[YbCu(OH)(PyC)(HO)]·(NO)·S} (QUST-81) and {[YbO(HO)Cu(OH)(PyC)(HCOO)]·(NO)·S} (QUST-82), where HPyC = 4-Pyrazolecarboxylic acid. Exploiting the hard/soft duality, it is shown that the more stable QUST-82 can preserve desulfurization efficiency in the presence of competing nitrogen-containing contaminate. In addition, thermodynamically controlled single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC-SC) phase transition is uncovered from QUST-81 to QUST-82, and in turn, mechanistic features are probed via X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations.

This study details the synthesis of a novel ternary nanocomposite composed of MnFeO, FeVO, and modified zeolite, achieved through a two-step process. The initial step involved the hydrothermal synthesis of the MnFeO/FeVO composite, followed by its application onto modified zeolite using ultrasonic waves. The synthesized nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized using a range of analytical techniques.

In this study, the performance of a pilot-scale biotrickling filter (BTF) for anoxic hydrogen sulfide (HS) removal from real biogas was evaluated over 226 days. The BTF, inoculated with activated sludge from a nearby wastewater treatment plant, operated in an industrial environment with raw biogas from an anaerobic digester fed with municipal solid waste. The operating strategy was based on controlling nitrate consumption by sulfur-oxidizing nitrate-reducing (SO-NR) bacteria.

The grouting technique is an efficient method for enhancing the stability of cracked slopes through the use of grouting materials. Conventional cement-based grouting materials are costly, energy-intensive, and environmentally damaging. Additionally, cement-hardening slurry is prone to cracks between the slurry and the rock.

The efficiency of the hot metal pretreatment process plays a very important role in achieving high-quality and low-cost advanced steel. From macromixing phenomena obtained by numerical modeling and physical experiments to compound interaction databases from industry trials, the Authors compared fundamental relationships from the literature with their own laboratory results and plant data. A simple numerical model based on the LES turbulence approach was well-validated by water modeling.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great prospects as adsorbents for industrial gas purification, but often suffer from issues of water stability and competitive water adsorption. Herein, we present a hydrolytically stable MOF that could selectively capture and recover trace SO from flue gas, and exhibits remarkable recyclability in the breakthrough experiments under wet flue-gas conditions, due to its excellent resistance to the corrosion of SO and the water-derived capillary forces. More strikingly, its SO capture efficiency is barely influenced by the increasing humidity, even if the pore filling with water is reached.
