Article Abstract

Rational design and engineering of high-performance molecular sieve membranes towards C H /C H and flue gas separations remain a grand challenge to date. In this study, through combining pore micro-environment engineering with meso-structure manipulation, highly c-oriented sub-100 nm-thick Cu@NH -MIL-125 membrane was successfully prepared. Coordinatively unsaturated Cu ions immobilized in the NH -MIL-125 framework enabled high-affinity π-complexation interactions with C H , resulting in an C H /C H selectivity approaching 13.6, which was 9.4 times higher than that of pristine NH -MIL-125 membrane; moreover, benefiting from π-complexation interactions between CO and Cu(I) sites, our membrane displayed superior CO /N selectivity of 43.2 with CO permeance of 696 GPU, which far surpassed the benchmark of other pure MOF membranes. The above multi-scale structure optimization strategy is anticipated to present opportunities for significantly enhancing the separation performance of diverse molecular sieve membranes.

The study investigated the chlorine and fluorine contents in three types of industrial solid waste: textile, plastic, and paper waste, utilizing various analytical methods. Significant variations in the proportions of organic and inorganic chlorine were observed among the waste types. During heat treatment, the majority of chlorine converts to a volatile state, with fixed chlorine content showing a correlation with organic chlorine.

The presence of PbO in the flue gas can poison FeCe catalyst, reducing its denitrification efficiency. In this work, the mechanism of PbO poisoning of FeCe catalyst, along with the effects of W and Co co-doping on the NO oxidation performance and PbO resistance of FeCe catalyst were investigated. The S of FeCe catalyst decreased and the crystallinity increased obviously after PbO poisoning.

The world is increasingly facing the direct effects of climate change triggering warnings of a crisis for the healthy existence of humankind. The dominant driver of the climate emergency is the historical and continued accumulation of atmospheric CO altering net radiative forcing on the planet. To address this global issue, understanding the core chemistry of CO manipulation in the atmosphere and proximally in the oceans is crucial, to offer a direct partial solution for emissions handling through negative emissions technologies.

This study addresses the challenge of reducing "net" toxic pollutant discharge, specifically dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), while minimizing the energy consumption and costs associated with detoxification. Our research focuses on reintroducing fly ash and scrubber sludge (ASR) into a hazardous waste thermal treatment system equipped with gasification-intense low oxygen dilution (GASMILD) and an advanced air pollution control system (APCS). This approach yielded a remarkable PCDD/F removal efficiency exceeding 99.
