AI Article Synopsis

  • Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from biochar significantly influences nutrient and pollutant behavior, leading to growing interest among researchers.
  • The study investigates how different pyrolysis temperatures (ranging from 200-700 °C) affect the composition of DOM in biochars derived from chicken, swine, and dairy manure.
  • Findings reveal that higher pyrolysis temperatures result in a sharp decline in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content, with low temperatures yielding higher DOC, and that the composition of DOM changes with temperature, showcasing variations in humic and protein-like substances.

Article Abstract

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in the migration and transformation of nutrients and pollutants. Recently, DOM derived from biochar has the potential to determine the application of biochar and has attracted much researcher's attention. However, the effects of pyrolysis temperature on the composition evolution of DOM in manure-derived biochar are still unclear. In this study, DOM solutions extracted from a series of biochars derived from three kinds of manure (chicken, swine and dairy) at six pyrolysis temperature (200-700 °C) were analyzed using UV-Visible, Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy, aiming to investigate the effects of pyrolysis temperature on the composition evolution of DOM. The results showed that, with the increased of pyrolysis temperature, the dissolved organic matter (DOC) content sharply declined to reach stable. High DOC content was obtained at low pyrolysis temperature. Moreover, the DOM mainly contained humic acid-like and protein-like substances. With the pyrolysis temperature increased, the protein-like substances firstly decreased and then increased, while there was an opposite trend for the humic acid-like substances. Moreover, functional groups evolution of DOM depended on the pyrolysis temperature and manure type, evidenced by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with two-dimensional correlation analysis. This study highlights the importance of optical analysis and may provide valuable information regarding the characteristics evolution of biochar-derived DOM.

Long lifetime multicolor phosphorescence materials possess excellent optical properties and have important application prospects in the fields of advanced anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. However, realizing long lifetime and color-tunable room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dot (CD) materials has proved challenging. In this study, the organic precursor molecules 2-phenethylamine (2-Ph), 9-aminophenanthrene (9-Ph) and 1-aminopyrene (1-Py) with different degrees of conjugation were selected to synthesize RTP CD composites: 2-Ph@BA, 9-Ph@BA and 1-Py@BA were synthesized by mixing with a boric acid (BA) matrix under high temperature pyrolysis.

Photothermal conversion can promote plastic depolymerization (chemical recycling to a monomer) through light-to-heat conversion. The highly localized temperature gradient near the photothermal agent surface allows selective heating with spatial control not observed with bulk pyrolysis. However, identifying and incorporating practical photothermal agents into plastics for end-of-life depolymerization have not been realized.

Selective coupling of C platform molecules to C olefins is a cornerstone for establishing a sustainable chemical industry based on nonpetroleum sources. Vinyl chloride (CHCl), one of the top commodity petrochemicals, is commercially produced from coal- or oil-derived C hydrocarbon (acetylene and ethylene) feedstocks with a high carbon footprint. Here, we report a C-based route for vinyl chloride synthesis via the selective oxidative coupling of methyl chloride.

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is famous for the clean utilization of organic wastes without SO emission. Investigating the decomposition mechanism of sulfone compounds, the dominant organic sulfur compounds of organic wastes, in supercritical water (SCW) is conducive to the development of SCWG technology. Herein, the comparative decomposition mechanism of phenyl vinyl sulfone (PVS), diphenyl sulfone (DS), and benzo[b]thiophene 1,1-dioxide (BD) are explored via experiments and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations.

This research examines the possibility of palm oil and oil palm trunk biochar (OPTB) from pyrolysis effectively serving as alternative processing oils and fillers, substituting petroleum-based counterparts in natural rubber (NR) composites. Chemical, elemental, surface and morphological analyses were used to characterize both carbon black (CB) and OPTB, by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) gas porosimetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of OPTB contents from 0 to 100 parts per hundred rubber (phr) on thermal, dielectric, dynamic mechanical, and cure characteristics, and the key mechanical properties of particulate NR-composites were investigated.
