In this work, a combination of ozone (O) and ultrasound (US) has been firstly used to decolorize black concentrated sulfuric acid with high organic content. The effect of different reaction factors on the transparency, extent of decolorization, HSO mass fraction, and organic pollutants removal is studied. In addition, the systematic interaction between ultrasound and ozone on the decolorization process is reviewed through comparative experiments of O, US and US/O. A sulfuric acid product that meets the requirements for first-class products in national standards, with an extent of decolorization of 74.07%, transparency of 70 mm, and a mass fraction of 98.04%, is obtained under the optimized conditions. Under the same conditions, it has been established that the treatment time can be saved by 25% using the US/O process compared to using O. Further, the production of oxidative free radicals (•OH) in a concentrated sulfuric acid system is enhanced using the US/O process compared with O. In addition, the degree of effectiveness of different oxidizing components on the decolorization process is revealed by adding different free radical shielding agents when the US/O process is used.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and potentially fatal condition involving chronic, nonhealing wounds caused by microvascular calcification. There is currently no approved treatment for calciphylaxis, contributing to its devastating impacts on quality of life. In this case series, the authors highlight instances of potentially misdiagnosed calciphylaxis in a cohort of patients and emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis through multidisciplinary management approaches.

In the present research, an attempt has been made to develop a new thin film microextraction method for the extraction of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from aqueous samples collected from different industrial units prior to their analysis by gas chromatography combined with a flame ionization detector. In this approach, a thin iron mesh was modified by the formation of iron(II) oxinate on its surface and used for the extraction of analytes without an additional sorbent. For this purpose, first, the mesh was immersed in a sulfuric acid solution and then transferred into an 8-hydroxy quinoline (oxine) solution dissolved in ammonia solution.

Rhenium represents an irreplaceable metal resource, which finds extensive applications in diverse fields, particularly in the aerospace and petrochemical industry. However, its remarkably low natural abundance and the lack of independent ore deposits pose significant challenges to its extraction and recovery processes. In this study, we present the highly efficient adsorption of perrhenate by a cationic polymeric nanotrap material, namely CPN-3VIm.
