Selective synthesis of specific value-added aromatics from CO hydrogenation is of paramount interest for mitigating energy and climate problems caused by CO emission. Herein, we report a highly active composite catalyst of ZnZrO and HZSM-5 (ZZO/Z5-SG) for xylene synthesis from CO hydrogenation via a coupling reaction in the presence of toluene, achieving a xylene selectivity of 86.5 % with CO conversion of 10.5 %. A remarkably high space time yield of xylene could reach 215 mg g h , surpassing most reported catalysts for CO hydrogenation. The enhanced performance of ZZO/Z5-SG could be due to high dispersion and abundant oxygen vacancies of the ZZO component for CO adsorption, more feasible hydrogen activation and transfer due to the close interaction between the two components, and enhanced stability of the formate intermediate. The consumption of methoxy and methanol from the deep hydrogenation of formate by introduced toluene also propels an oriented conversion of CO .

Xylene substances have wide industrial and consumer uses and are currently undergoing dossier and substance evaluation under Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) for further toxicological testing including consideration of an additional neurotoxicological testing cohort to an extended one-generation reproduction toxicity (EOGRT) study. New repeated dose study data on xylenes identify the thyroid as a potential target tissue, and therefore a weight of evidence review is provided to investigate whether or not xylene-mediated changes on the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis are secondary to liver enzymatic induction and are of a magnitude that is relevant for neurological human health concerns. Multiple published studies confirm xylene-mediated increases in liver weight, hepatocellular hypertrophy, and liver enzymatic induction the oral or inhalation routes, including an increase in uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT) activity, the key step in thyroid hormone metabolism in rodents.

Polycyclic aromatic compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are hazardous pollutants and seriously threaten the environment and human health. However, native microbial communities can adapt to these toxic pollutants, utilize these compounds as a carbon source, and eventually evolve to degrade these toxic contaminants. With this in mind, we isolated 26 bacterial strains from various environmental soil samples.

Zeolite membranes are considered ideal inorganic membrane materials for separating mixtures with molecular-level differences. However, their complex preparation process with excessive synthesis solutions for traditional hydrothermal heating methods leads to various drawbacks. Here, we describe a membrane preparation strategy involving an in situ interfacial transformation of the protomembrane without solvents.

The gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS) metabolomics method was used to investigate the anti-radiation effect of Yiguan Decoction water extract on mice and explore its related pathways and mechanisms of action. Healthy SPF male mice from Kunming were randomly assigned to six groups: blank group, model group, positive drug group, and high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Yiguan Decoction, with ten mice in each group. Mice were prophylactically dosed for six days, and ~(60)Co γ ray with 5 Gy was used to establish a radiation mouse model.
