Cost-effective and environmental-friendly substrates are essential for the constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, the column test was used to explore the differences in pollutant purification performance, microbial community structure and abundance between non-burning compound filler and conventional CWs substrates (i.e. gravel and ceramsite) at low temperature (0-15℃). It was found that the maximum phosphorus removal efficiency of compound filler (99%) was better than gravel (18%) and ceramsite (21%). Besides, the proportion of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria capable of ammonium oxidation, nitrification and denitrification (i.e. Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Acetoanaerobium) was enhanced by compound filler, which has an excellent potential for nitrogen removal in the subsequent purification process. These results demonstrated that the self-made non-burning compound filler was a potential substrate for CWs, which was of great significance for the resource utilization of solid wastes such as polyaluminum chloride residue.

Engineering plastics are finding widespread applications across a broad temperature spectrum, with additive manufacturing (AM) having now become commonplace for producing aerospace-grade components from polymers. However, there is limited data available on the behavior of plastic AM parts exposed to elevated temperatures. This study focuses on investigating the tensile strength, tensile modulus and Poisson's ratio of parts manufactured using fused filament fabrication (FFF) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) plastics doped with two additives: short carbon fibers (SCFs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) are promising materials for electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells and electrolyzers. However, the main drawback of AEMs is their low durability in alkaline operating conditions. A possible solution is the use of composite ionomers containing inorganic fillers stable in a basic environment.

Dissimilar welding between aluminum and copper poses significant challenges, primarily due to differences in their thermal and mechanical properties, resulting in brittle intermetallic compounds, limited joint strength, and high electrical resistivity. This study aims to overcome these issues by employing Ag-18Cu-10Zn filler material and optimizing laser power with a focus on improving joint strength and electrical conductivity. The results indicate that the incorporation of silver and zinc enhances the phase composition and microstructure of the weld.

The extensive use of polypropylene (PP) in various industries necessitates the development of efficient and reliable methods for predicting the mechanical properties of PP compounds. This study presents the development of an analytical model (AM) designed to predict the tensile modulus for a dataset of 64 PP compounds with various fillers and additives, including chalk, impact strength modifiers, and peroxide additives. The AM, incorporating both logarithmic and linear components, was benchmarked against an artificial neural network (ANN) to evaluate its performance.
