A gas-free KOH eluent generator (EG) with 210 nL of internal volume is described. It utilizes a two-membrane configuration where there is a single CEM layer on one side and a single BPM layer on the other side for use in open tubular ion chromatography systems with typical back pressures < 50 psi. At a flow rate of ∼190 nL/min, the 10-90% gradient rise time is 3.5 min. The device shows good linearity between applied current and concentration of KOH generated, which is stable over extended periods. The overall system reproducibility (that includes contributions from any changes in flow rate), as judged by the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the retention times of individual separated ions in repeat measurements ( = 6), ranged from <0.5% for isocratic to <1.2% for gradient elution schemes. Perceptible current flow and KOH production in the BPM-based EG begins at subelectrolytic applied voltages, prompting us to look more closely at exact field strength necessary for field-enhanced dissociation of water. An increase in the specific conductance of pure water is noticeable by a field strength of 10 V/m.

Coal gangue, a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing processes, has caused significant environmental burdens in China. This study aims to optimize and investigate the leaching mechanisms of heavy metals, such as Pb, Zn, and Cu, in coal gangue. The effectiveness of different eluents in removing heavy metals from coal gangue was evaluated by combining experimental methods with software simulations.

The electrolytic upgrading of CO presents a promising strategy to mitigate global CO emissions while generating valuable carbon-based products such as carbon monoxide, formate, and ethylene. However, the adoption of industrial-scale CO electrolyzers is hindered by the high energy and capital costs associated with the purification and pressurization of captured CO prior to electrolysis. One promising solution is "reactive carbon capture," which involves the electrolytic conversion of the eluent from CO capture units, or the "reactive carbon solution," directly into valuable products.

We propose a sensor event-driven, open-column chromatographic sample preparation system─OpenPrep. This system replaces the problematic flow selector valve with a noncontact built-in sensor, eliminating carryover and clogging issues, which are commonly encountered in pump-driven chromatographic systems. The innovative valveless column-flow design, combined with a compact gantry dispenser and motion stage-based fraction collector, reduces the sample flow path to a disposable component with a postcolumn dead volume of only 0.

Lithium (Li) isotopes have been widely used to investigate continental weathering, climate change, recycling of surface materials and ore formation. However, muti-column systems and/or a large volume of eluents are generally required for Li purification and its accurate isotopic measurements due to variably high matrix/Li ratios of different geological materials. Here we present a simplified dual-column system with small volumes of resins (3 mL + 2 mL) and eluents (16 mL 0.

The localized drug action in tumors to overcome the side effects of chemotherapy has become an impetus for the development of photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT). As potential PACT agents, ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes have emerged as efficient photocages for anticancer agents.
