The China Spallation Neutron Source started delivering neutron beams to users in March 2018. To upgrade the beam power to 500 kW and improve the performance of the ion source, an RF-driven negative hydrogen (H) ion source is under development. The source has a silicon nitride ceramic plasma chamber surrounded by a 4.5-turn antenna. The plasma is ignited by a pulsed DC spark gap and then driven by a 2 MHz solid-state amplifier with a repetition rate of 25 Hz. The commissioning of the source started in January 2019. When uncesiated, it produced about 20 mA beam at an RF power of 32 kW and pulse width of 450 μs. This paper describes the configuration of the ion source, several peculiar technologies used in it, and the first negative hydrogen (H) ion beam extraction.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have escalated to levels of concern worldwide as emerging environmental pollutants. Increasing evidence suggests that non-antibiotic antimicrobial substances expedite the spread of ARGs. However, the drivers and mechanisms involved in the generation and spread of ARGs in the atmosphere remain inadequately elucidated.

OH-mediated advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used in wastewater treatment and drinking water purification. Recently, an increasing number of studies have indicated that common inorganic nitrogen ions can efficiently generate •OH under UV irradiation, demonstrating strong performance in the degradation of various contaminants. Conversely, the presence of inorganic nitrogen ions in UV or other oxidation processes dramatically increases the yield of toxic nitro (so)-aromatic products and the formation potential of nitrogenous disinfection by-products with high genotoxicity and cytotoxicity.
