To ascertain the reaction variables on o-chloroaniline (o-ClA) mineralization, total nitrogen (TN) removal rate, and N-species distribution, o-ClA was subjected to catalytic supercritical water oxidation (CSCWO) in a fused quartz tube reactor (FQTR). The findings demonstrated that when the temperature, reaction time, and excess oxidant were 400 °C, 90 min, and 150%, respectively, the mineralization rate of o-ClA could reach more than 95%. Moreover, potential degradation pathways of o-ClA in supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) was proposed according to the GC-MS results. TN removal rate is significantly impacted by Ru/rGO, despite the fact that its catalytic effect on the mineralization of o-ClA was not particularly noteworthy. Compared with no catalyst, the TN removal rate of o-ClA obviously increased from 44.1% to 90.3% at 400 °C, 10 wt% Ru loading, 90 min and 200% excess oxidant. In addition, N-species distribution in SCWO and CSCWO were also investigated. Results indicated that the Ru/rGO catalyst could accelerate the oxidation of ammonia-N and convert it to nitrate-N, promoting N generation. Finally, the possible N transformation pathway in CSCWO of o-ClA was proposed. As a result, this work offers fundamental information about o-ClA catalytic oxidation removal in the SCWO process.

Oil spill disasters lead to widespread and long-lasting social, economical, environmental and ecological impacts. Technical challenges remain for conventional static adsorption due to hydrodynamic instability under complex water-flow conditions, which results in low oil-capture efficiency, time delay and oil escape. To address this issue, we design a vortex-anchored filter inspired by the anatomy of deep-sea glass sponges (E.

The high chlorine content in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is a key factor restricting its treatment and disposal. In this study, a new treatment method was proposed to enhance the deep dechlorination of fly ash by coupling supercritical CO (SC) treatment with water washing. Simultaneously the alkaline compounds in fly ash can fix CO and achieve CO credits.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) promise high-energy-density storage but face safety issues due to dendrite-induced lithium deposition, irreversible electrolyte consumption, and large volume changes, which hinder their practical applications. To address these issues, tuning lithium deposition by structuring a host for the lithium metal anode has been recognized as an efficient method. Herein, we report a supercritical water molecular scissor-controlled strategy to form a carbon framework derived from biomass wood.

Supercritical-dense phase CO pipeline transportation has been proven to have excellent economic and safety benefits for long-distance CO transportation in large-scale. Hydrates are easily generated in the high-pressure and low-temperature sections, resulting in blockage, so it is necessary to build the prediction model for hydrate formation in the long-distance CO pipeline transportation. In the prediction model of hydrate formation of our work, the phase equilibrium was determined by the Chen-Guo model, and the lateral growth of hydrate was calculated by the comprehensive growth model, and the hydrate growth was estimated by analogy with the condensation process.
