Some toxic and refractory pollutants in coal chemical wastewater can penetrate the biochemical treatment systems and cause high concentrations of suspended solids in the effluent, which may obstruct the subsequent advanced treatment. In this project, a submerged ceramic plate membrane system was integrated to the last oxic corridor of an existing multistage anoxic/oxic tank. In the ceramic flat membrane bioreactor, the influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) was 102.24-178.88 mg/L, with a removal ratio of approximately 30%. The NH-N concentration in the effluent was relatively stable with an average value of 1.76 mg/L. The turbidity of the effluent was in the range of 0.235-0.852 NTU and was stable below 1 NTU. A flux of 30 L m·h could meet the requirements of the pilot test. A gas-water ratio of 50:1 was found optimal. When the concentration of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) was >3769 mg/L, the extracellular polymeric substance in the mixed solution was utilized by microorganisms as a substrate. High MLSS decreased membrane fouling rate. NaClO backwashing can effectively remove pollutants without adversely affecting the treatment efficiency of membrane bioreactors.

Aqueous zinc-carbon capacitors display application potential in green power and high-end equipment owing to their high security, large power and sustainability. The water-rich zinc anode-electrolyte interface (AEI) and disordered zinc-ion diffusion are the culprits triggering corrosion reactions and dendrite growth, threatening the sustainability of aqueous zinc-carbon capacitors. Herein, a polyfunctional biomolecular, vitamin B6, is introduced into the traditional aqueous electrolyte for customizing the functional AEI and fine-regulating the interfacial coordination environment of zinc ions.

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioinks hold significant potential in the 3D bioprinting of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs). While 3D bioprinting allows for the creation of custom-designed TECs, the development of bioinks based solely on dAM, without the inclusion of supporting agents or chemical modifications, remains underexplored. In this study, we present the concentration-dependent printability and rheological properties of dAM bioinks, along with an analysis of their in vitro cellular responses.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed advanced nanofiltration membranes using a TiO nanofilm created through a vapor-liquid reaction on a ceramic support.
- The process involved reacting glycerol with TiCl vapor to form hybrid films, which were then calcined to create carbon-doped titanium oxide nanofilms.
- These membranes demonstrated high methanol permeability and effective solute rejection, making them ideal for purifying organic solvents.

Geometric microengineering of the active layer in a piezoelectric sensor has emerged as a hot topic to improve performance but meets challenges due to the brittle nature of piezoelectric ceramics. Here, we demonstrate that fs-laser-induced compressive stress leads to film bulging in the nanoscale and forms various shapes of nanostructures, including nanobumps, nanovolcanoes, and nanocaves on PbZrTiO (PZT) films, in a single-step, mask-free, large-scale, and rapid fashion. Highly reproducible 3D profiles of the nanostructures are finely controlled by carefully adjusting the laser energy density around the ablation threshold.

A ceramic-based pulse-forming line (PFL) is a solid-state device with a wide range of applications in compact pulsed power systems. In this paper, the characteristic impedance of a ceramic-based PFL is theoretically analyzed, and an improved PFL based on an impedance matching electrode is proposed. The improved PFL effectively increases the flat-top ratio and reduces the rise and fall times, enhancing its potential applicability.
