Radiation measurements were conducted at 22 cabinet X-ray systems in Beijing, China, between 2015 and 2019. The median dose rates in the closed-drapes position were 0.11, 0.14, 0.12, 0.14, 0.34 and 0.17 μGy h-1 at the operator position and 5 cm from the surface of the left side, right side, top, entrance and exit, respectively. When a scattering object was passed through the entrance/exit (open-drapes position), the dose rates of eight systems ranged from 1.19 to 6.72 μGy h-1 (median: 3.75 μGy h-1). From 2015 to 2019, we monitored the personal dose equivalent Hp (10) 589 times. The personal dose equivalent of three workers exceeded 1 mSv year-1. However, the integrity of equipment shielding needs to be checked regularly to ensure safe operation. The regulation of radiation protection by employers, technician support institutes or government departments is thus warranted to limit the radiation exposure of workers and the public.

Heterocyclic compounds are increasingly used in medicinal chemistry because they are the main components of many biological processes and materials. Benzimidazole remains the core center of the heterocyclic chemical group, with essential traits such as six-five-member connected rings and two nitrogen atoms at the 1,3 position in a six-membered benzene and five-membered imidazole- fused ring system. Molecules with benzimidazole derivatives serve important functions as therapeutic agents and have shown excellent results in clinical and biological research.

Electrochemical nitrite (NO) is a promising technology for NO removal and a sustainable method for generating valuable ammonia (NH), but this process is intricate and generates other byproducts. In this work, we propose a facile and low-cost method for the preparation of a CuMoO nanosheet array, which can serve as an efficient electrocatalyst for the reduction of NO to NH. The morphology of CuMoO can be adjusted by controlling the synthesis conditions.

The conversion of solar energy into chemical energy or high-value chemicals has attracted considerable research interest in the context of the global energy crisis. Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is a versatile and powerful oxidizing agent widely used in chemical synthesis and medical disinfection. HO also serves as a clean energy source in fuel cells, generating electricity with zero-carbon emissions.

Direct carbonylation of CH to CHCOOH provides a promising pathway for upgrading of natural gas to transportable liquid chemicals, in which high-efficiency CH activation and controllable C-C coupling are both critical but challenging. Herein, we report that highly efficient photo-driven carbonylation of CH with CO and O to CHCOOH is achieved over MoS-confined Rh-Zn atomic-pair in conjunction with TiO. It delivers a high CHCOOH productivity of 152.

The photo-Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and thus is applied intensively for clearing out membrane fouling. However, the pollutant removal efficiency is greatly limited by the redox cycle rate of Fe/Fe and the rapid recombination rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a sulfonated polysulfone composite membrane was designed and prepared by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles into a sulfonated polysulfone membrane and sequentially forming β-FeOOHs on the membrane surface.
