The treatment of oily sludge (OS) can not only effectively solve environmental pollution but also contribute to the efficient use of energy. In this study, the separation effect of OS was analyzed through sodium lignosulfonate (SL)-assisted sodium persulfate (S/D) treatment. The effects of SL concentration, pH, temperature, solid-liquid ratio, revolving speed, and time on SL adsorption solubilization were analyzed. The effects of sodium persulfate dosage, demulsification temperature, and demulsification time on sodium persulfate oxidative demulsification were analyzed. The oil removal efficiency was as high as 91.28%. The results showed that the sediment was uniformly and finely distributed in the S/D-treated OS. The contact angle of the sediment surface was 40°, and the initial apparent viscosity of the OS was 56 Pa·s. First, the saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons on the sediment surface were adsorbed by the monolayer adsorption on SL. Stubborn, cohesive oil agglomerates were dissociated. Sulfate radical anion (SO·) with a high oxidation potential, was formed from sodium persulfate. The oxidation reaction occurred between SO· and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A good three-phase separation effect was attained. The oil recovery reached 89.65%. This provides theoretical support for the efficient clean separation of oily sludge.

This study investigates the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from paper mill wastewater using air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma, combined with various persulfate sources, namely potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS), potassium peroxydisulfate (PDS), and sodium persulfate (SPS). Mechanistic insights into the activation of plasma-PDS and -PMS were obtained through quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques. The addition of persulfate to air DBD plasma increased TOC removal kinetics by approximately 1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of using sodium persulfate (SD) and sodium lignosulfonate surfactant in thermally washing oily sludge to improve remediation methods.
  • It evaluates the impact of various reaction conditions on the breakdown of different hydrocarbon types (saturated, aromatic, resins, and asphaltenes) in oily sludge.
  • Results showed that while SD effectively degrades these hydrocarbons, sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst, and lignosulfonate aids in the removal process by lowering the solution's surface tension.

Despite chronic fibrosis occurring in many pathological conditions, few in vitro studies examine how fibrosis impacts lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) behavior. This study examined stiffening profiles of PhotoCol-commercially available methacrylated type I collagen-photo-crosslinked with the photoinitiators: Lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP), Irgacure 2959 (IRG), and Ruthenium/Sodium Persulfate (Ru/SPS) prior to evaluating PhotoCol permeability and LEC response to PhotoCol at stiffnesses representing normal and fibrotic tissues. Ru/SPS produced the highest stiffness (~6 kilopascal (kPa)) for photo-crosslinked PhotoCol, but stiffness did not change with burst light exposures (30 and 90 s).

Covalent crosslinking of silk fibroin via native tyrosine residues has been extensively explored; however, while these materials are very promising for biomedical, optical, soft robotics, and sensor applications, their structure and mechanical properties are unstable over time. This instability results in spontaneous silk self-assembly and stiffening over time, a process that is poorly understood. This study investigates the interplay between self-assembly and di-tyrosine bond formation in silk hydrogels photo-crosslinked using ruthenium (Ru) and sodium persulfate (SPS) with visible light.
