FeO supplementation has been reported as a high-efficient approach to enhance biogas production in anaerobic digestion (AD). Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), especially acetic acid (HAc), are considered as important products in acidification process of AD. However, the possible mechanisms involved in promotion effect of FeO on HAc production in hydrolysis and acidification processes of AD have not been comprehensively studied. This study first investigated the promotion effect of FeO on hydrolysis, acidogenesis and acetogenesis stages of AD and proposed the underlying mechanisms, using food waste (FW) as the feedstock, which is considered as the most suitable substrate for VFAs production. Results indicated that the HAc production (77.38 g-C/kg-VS) was enhanced by 79 % in AD of FW with addition of 10 g/L FeO. The duration to reach the maximum HAc production was also shortened from 14 days to 10 days. The AD tests using model substrates revealed that FeO enhanced hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and degradation of propionic acid, thus resulting in enhanced HAc production. The enhanced activities of hydrolytic and acid-forming enzymes, and electron transport system (ETS) with FeO addition further demonstrated its function as an electron acceptor to stimulate electron transfer and accelerate microbial metabolisms in AD, which contributed to the enhanced HAc production from FW.

The application of biodegradable chelating agents in phytoremediation is a promising approach. This study aimed to investigate the effects and roles of underlying mechanisms of water-soluble carboxymethyl chitosan (WSCC) and rhamnolipids (RLs) on the remediation of Cd-contaminated soil by Hylotelephium spectabile. WSCC and RLs mediated the growth of H.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) results in a complex systemic response that is critical to the pathophysiology of late complications and has important effects on outcomes. Omics techniques have expanded our investigational scope and depth into this phenomenon. In particular, metabolomics-the study of small molecules, such as blood products, carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipids-can provide a snapshot of dynamic subcellular processes and thus broaden our understanding of molecular-level pathologic changes that lead to the systemic response after aSAH.

Toxic heavy metal ions, such as lead ions, significantly threaten human health and the environment. This work introduces a novel method for the simple and sensitive detection of lead ions based on biochar-loaded titanium dioxide nanoparticles (BC@TiONPs) nanocomposites. Eco-friendly biochar samples were prepared from spent coffee grounds (500 °C, 1 h) that were chemically activated with TiO nanoparticles (150 °C, 24 h) to improve their conductivity.

Mixed Tin-Lead perovskite solar cells (Sn-Pb PSCs) with a narrow band gap (NBG) are significant for single-junction and all-perovskite tandem solar cells due to their low toxicity and ideal band gap. Nevertheless, the performance and stability of the device are adversely affected by the uncontrollable crystallization and ion migration processes. Acetic acid (HAc) is introduced into the perovskite precursor solution as a multifunctional additive to enhance the film crystallization process and restrain ion migration in the device.
