Biodegradation is one of the safest and most economical methods for the elimination of toxic chlorophenols and crude oil from the environment. In this study, aerobic degradation of the aforementioned compounds by composite microbial agent B-Cl, which consisted of Bacillus B1 and B2 in a 3:2 ratio, was analyzed. The biodegradation mechanism of B-Cl was assessed based on whole genome sequencing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatographic analyses. B-Cl was most effective at reducing Cl concentrations (65.17%) and crude oil biodegradation (59.18%) at 7 d, which was when the content of alkanes ≤ C showed the greatest decrease. Furthermore, adding B-Cl solution to soil significantly decreased the 2,4-DCP and oil content to below the detection limit and by 80.68%, respectively, and reconstructed of the soil microbial into a system containing more CPs-degrading (exaA, frmA, L-2-HAD, dehH, ALDH, catABE), aromatic compounds-degrading (pcaGH, catAE, benA-xylX, paaHF) and alkane- and fatty acid-degrading (alkB, atoB, fadANJ) microorganisms. Moreover, the presence of 2,4-DCP was the main hinder of the observed effects. This study demonstrates the importance of adding B-Cl solution to determine the interplay of CPs with microbes and accelerating oil degradation, which can be used for in-situ bioremediation of CPs and oil-contaminated soil.

To balance the stability and dissolution of polyacrylamide (PAM), emulsion drag reducers dominate the successful operation of volumetric fracturing. Herein, a pH-switchable four-tailed ionic liquid surfactant (OA/Cyclen) is synthesized by oleic acid (OA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Cyclen). The four-tailed structure of OA/Cyclen enhances the stability of the emulsion polymerization reactor and supplies enough switchable sites for triggering the intensified release of the PAM emulsion.

Currently, the development of red Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials attracts a lot of attention in optical thermometry sensors, solid lighting, display, and plant growth areas. Nevertheless, the thermal stability of Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials is still a crucial issue. Herein, a new red RbNaVF:Mn luminescent material with outstanding thermal stability was successfully synthesized through the facial coprecipitation method.

Ultra-broadband photodetectors (UB-PDs) are essential in medical applications, public safety monitoring, and various other fields. However, developing UB-PDs covering multiple bands from ultraviolet to medium infrared remains a challenge due to material limitations. Here, a mixed-dimensional heterojunction composed of 2D WS/monodisperse hexagonal stacking (MHS) 3D PdTe particles on 3D Si is proposed, capable of detecting light from 365 to 9600 nm.

Copper-based electrocatalysts are recognized as crucial catalysts for CO electroreduction into multi-carbon products. However, achieving copper-based electrocatalysts with adjustable valences via one-step facile synthesis remains a challenge. In this study, Cu/CuO heterostructure is constructed by adjusting the anion species of the Cu ions-containing electrolyte during electrodeposition synthesis.

: The aim is to bring attention to the existence of a rare type of trauma of the hand, high-pressure injection injury, that appears to be minor with negligible signs and symptoms within the first hours after the accident, but in reality, produces significant tissue destruction with severe consequences. Recognizing this type of trauma by medical personnel, understanding the mechanisms involved, and knowing the etiological and prognostic factors can lead to early treatment initiation and avoid severe mutilating sequelae. : A retrospective study on 16 patients diagnosed with high-pressure injection injuries, including water, air, paint, paint mixed paint with thinner, petroleum jelly, and lime (washable paint containing calcium oxide).
