To improve the washing efficiency for low permeable clay, the method of vacuum enhanced washing technology was proposed. In this study, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as eluents, the experiments of remediation of Cu-Zn contaminated cohesive soil by traditional soil column leaching and vacuum enhanced leaching was carried out. Results show that compared with traditional leaching method, the vacuum enhanced leaching method can significantly shorten the leaching time and prominently improve the removal rate of heavy metals Cu-Zn. When concentration of EDTA is 0.1 mol/L, the removal rate of Cu-Zn can reach 95.7% and 82.9%, respectively by vacuum-enhanced leaching. When concentration of HCl is 0.2 mol/L, the removal rate of Cu-Zn by vacuum enhanced leaching method can reach 96.2% and 90.2%, respectively. Whereas, the higher the concentration of EDTA and HCl, the slower the leaching rate. At the same concentration, the leaching rate of HCl was faster. After HCl leaching, the soil structure was seriously corroded, and the relative content of mineral composition changed considerably. After EDTA leaching, the corrosion of soil structure is light, and the relative content of mineral composition changes little. The conclusions obtained are of crucial theoretical value and technical support for environmental engineering.

Impaired wound healing affects the life quality of patients and causes a substantial financial burden. Hydrogen-rich medium is reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the role of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) in cutaneous wound healing remains largely unexplored, especially by metabolomics.

Context: The two-dimensional graphene/MoTe heterostructure holds extensive potential applications in optoelectronic devices, sensors, and catalysts. To expand its optical applications, this study systematically investigates the adsorption stability of metal atoms (Au, Pt, Pd, and Fe) on the graphene/MoTe and their influence on its optoelectronic properties employing first-principles methods. The findings indicate that after the adsorption of Au and Pd, the structure retains its direct bandgap properties, while the adsorption of Pt and Fe exhibits indirect bandgap characteristics.

Double-Helix Electrode Ion Funnel: A New Ion Funnel Design with an Extended Mass Range.

Anal Chem

January 2025

Research Center of Analytical Instrumentation, School of Mechanical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, People's Republic of China.

The development of an atmospheric pressure interface (API) with a high ion transfer efficiency and wide mass range is advantageous for the performance improvement of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. In this work, a novel ion guide, namely, the double-helix electrode ion funnel (DHE-IF), has been developed to enhance the ion transmission over a wide mass range in the rough vacuum region. The DHE-IF consists of two funnel-shaped helix electrodes.

Tecnología de los Alimentos, Facultad de Veterinaria, Instituto de Investigación de Carne y Productos Cárnicos (IProCar), Universidad de Extremadura, 10003 Cáceres, Spain.

Food preservation techniques changed during the industrial revolution, as safer techniques were developed and democratized. However, one of the simplest techniques, adding salt, is still employed in a wide variety of products, not only as a flavor enhancer but as a method to allow for the controlled fermentation of products such as fruits. The objective of the present study consists of evaluating the quality of different salt-reduced fermented fruits through the application of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and vacuum, as well as assessing the LAB as a preventive measure against O157:H7.

State Key Laboratory of Roll Composite Materials, Sinosteel Xing Tai Mechanical Roll Co., Ltd., No. 1 Xinxing West Street, Xingtai 054000, China.

Composite roll produced through casting methods typically remain in the as-cast state after forming. During the preparation process, extended exposure to high temperatures often results in microstructural coarsening at the interface and surface layers, restricting their mechanical performance. To overcome this limitation, we developed a novel vacuum billet forging process for the fabrication of composite rolls.
