Submicron SSZ-13 with different acidities was synthesized successfully with the assistance of nanosized SSZ-13 seeds. The methanol-to-olefins (MTO) properties of submicron SSZ-13 were evaluated. The lifetime of submicron SSZ-13 was enhanced because of the crystal size reduction. The selectivity of light olefins was improved evidently at the early stage of the MTO reaction as the acidity density decreased. TG, GC-MS, and in situ UV/vis spectra were utilized to investigate coking behavior during the MTO reaction. It was found that the acidity density influences the nature and rate of coke formation. The majority of the hydrocarbon pool species over SSZ-13 with a low acidity density (125.2 μmol/g) were methylated benzene carbocations, while that over SSZ-13 with a high acidity density (330.2 μmol/g) were methylated naphthalene carbocations. The low acidity density of SSZ-13 can suppress the hydrogen transfer reaction and polyaromatic generation.

Ofloxacin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, raises serious environmental concerns due to its persistence in aquatic systems. This study offers new insights into the environmental behavior of ofloxacin and its interactions with carbon-based adsorbents with the aim of enhancing our understanding of its removal mechanisms via adsorption processes. Using a comprehensive computational approach, we analyzed the speciation, pK values, and solubility of ofloxacin across various pH conditions, accounting for all four microspecies, including the often-overlooked neutral form.

An original approach to characterize electrochemical interfaces at the atomic level, a challenging topic toward the understanding of electrochemical reactivity, is reported. We employed surface resonant X-ray diffraction experiments combined with their simulation using first-principle density functional theory calculations and were thus able to determine the molecular and electronic structures of the partially ionic layer facing the electrode surface, as well as the charge distribution in the surface metal layers. Pt(111) in an acidic medium at an applied potential excluding specific adsorption was studied.

Indonesia, one of the largest tropical forests, offers a diverse range of nectar sources that contribute to the unique characteristics of forest honey. This study aims to investigate physicochemical and antioxidant properties of forest honey from three distinct regions of Indonesia. Key physicochemical parameters include moisture, color, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), density, diastase number (DN), hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), pH, total acidity, ash content, protein content, and reducing sugars.

Introduction: Enterotoxic (ETEC) is the main pathogen that causes diarrhea, especially in young children. This disease can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality and is a major global health concern. Managing ETEC infections is challenging owing to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance.

Unlabelled: Dietary acid load could be associated with bone mass, but there are limited and conflicting results. This secondary cross-sectional analysis evaluated these associations among 123 children/adolescents, mostly Hispanics. Dietary acid load seems to be associated with bone mass in boys, but these results should be confirmed through long-term studies.
