Activated coke (AC) has great potential in the field of low-temperature NO removal (DeNO), especially the branch prepared by blending modification. In this study, the AC-based pyrolusite and/or titanium ore blended catalysts were prepared and applied for DeNO. The results show blending pyrolusite and titanium ore promoted the catalytic performance of AC (Px@AC, Tix@AC) clearly, and the co-blending of two of them showed a synergistic effect. The (P/Ti-1/2)15@AC performed the highest NO conversion of 66.4%, improved 16.9% and 16.0% respectively compared with P15@AC and Ti15@AC. For the (P/Ti-1/2)15@AC DeNO, its relative better porous structure (S = 364 m/g, V = 0.156 cm/g) makes better mass transfer and more active sites exposure, stronger surface acidity (C-O, 19.43%; C=O, 4.16%) is more favorable to the NH adsorption, and Ti, Mn and Fe formed bridge structure fasted the lactic oxygen recovery and electron transfer. The DeNO of (P/Ti-1/2)15@AC followed both the E-R and L-H mechanism, both the gaseous and adsorbed NO reacted with the activated NH due to the active sites provided by both the carbon and titanium.

Beyond White as a Neutral Color.

Stud Health Technol Inform

November 2024

School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds, UK.

Article Synopsis
  • This discussion paper examines the rise of white surfaces in healthcare design, highlighting the historical, sociopolitical, and environmental implications, including the ecological degradation caused by mining for white pigments.
  • It critiques the dominance of neutral color palettes in design, linking it to a rejection of colorful local traditions and questioning the latent racism associated with the preference for white, rooted in 20th-century modernism.
  • The paper calls for a more inclusive approach to color in healthcare spaces that considers diverse cultural sensitivities and experiences, while also encouraging designers to rethink their aesthetic choices beyond a purely white aesthetic.

The current intensive development of steelmaking is being impeded by a scarcity of pure scrap. The potential to replace pure scrap with metallized raw materials that are naturally alloyed with vanadium and titanium, such as annealed unfluxed titanomagnetite pellets, could facilitate the achievement of key objectives in metallurgical development, particularly in the smelting of electric steel. The objective of this research was to produce annealed and metallized pellets from titanomagnetite concentrate under laboratory conditions, with the intention of further processing them as a commercial product in a blast furnace or as an intermediate product for the production of hot briquetted iron (HBI).

Toward the bioleaching of bauxite residue by Gluconobacter oxydans.

J Appl Microbiol

Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial Model Systems (EEMiS), Linnaeus University, Stuvaregatan 4, Kalmar, Sweden.

Aim: This project evaluated a biologically mediated strategy to solubilize several rare earth elements and critical raw materials, including scandium, from bauxite residue. This work seeks to expand on previous research on contact leaching with bauxite.

Methods And Results: In this study, Gluconobacter oxydans was shown to secrete mixed organic acids, including gluconic acid, which was superior to pure gluconic acid in the dissolution of bauxite residue, even at low molarities.

A zircon case for super-wet arc magmas.

Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland.

Arc magmas have higher water contents (2-6 wt.% HO) than magmas generated in other tectonic environments, with a growing body of evidence suggesting that some deep arc magmas may be 'super-wet' (>6 wt.% HO).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the under-explored microbial interactions and (bio)geochemical processes in alkaline mine environments, specifically in iron mines located in the Panxi mining area of Southwest China.
  • Compared to less impacted river samples, the iron ore samples revealed higher levels of various minerals and elements, indicating significant changes in water chemistry due to mining activity, with particular emphasis on sulfate concentrations.
  • The research identified specific microbial communities, mainly Serpentinimonas spp. and Thiobacillus spp., that thrive in high pH conditions, suggesting that these microbes play important roles in the evolution of these alkaline mine ecosystems and might help in strategies for mine restoration.
