A great complexity limits its use as the degree of aging of the asphalt binder of the RAP is a determinant for the interaction with the new binder and recycling agents to design asphalt mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). One of the ways to analyze the level of interaction between the aged binder and the recycling agent is through the analysis of the performance of the mixtures after the accelerated aging of the samples in the laboratory. Thus, this paper evaluated the mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures with high contents of RAP (50%, 75%, and 100%) and organic type recycling agents (residual engine oil) and surfactant (ADCAP WM), submitted to aging protocols short and long term. The data obtained verified the feasibility of adding up to 75% of RAP in the recycled mixtures. However, detailed monitoring of its execution and performance throughout its useful life is necessary. Fatigue and flexural fracture data were highly altered by aging conditioning, evidencing the reduction in the performance of the compositions of the recycled mixtures. The statistical test showed significance for the parameters RAP content and type/content of the recycling agent used. In addition, there was an increase in the deformation capacity and better resistance to aging and cracking with the incorporation of the surfactant recycling agent.

The molecular chains of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) show breakage during daily use, causing poor crystallization and leading to mechanical properties that, when blended with the nucleating agent, become an effective method of solving this problem. The salt-nucleating agent sodium benzoate (SB), disodium terephthalate (DT), and trisodium 1,3,5benzene tricarboxylic (TBT) were synthesized, and an rPET/nucleating agent blend was prepared. The intrinsic viscosity () results showed that the of the rPET/SB was decreased, which indicated the breakage of the rPET molecular chains.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating and testing Cobalt-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for degrading the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIPF) under visible LED light.
- It was found that 10% Cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles were the most effective, achieving over 99% degradation of CIPF in just 90 minutes, and maintained their efficiency across three cycles of use.
- The research also optimized the conditions for maximum degradation efficiency using statistical methods and simulated data using Artificial Neural Networks, achieving a strong correlation for the model’s accuracy.

Ethyl vanillate (EV) is an important component of flavors and fragrances and has been widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The highly selective preparation of EV from lignin, the most abundant monophenolic compound in nature, is a great challenge in the field of lignin depolymerization. In this study, the multi-active catalysts from alkaline ionic liquid and polyoxometalates were constructed, which were characterized by acidity, alkaline and oxidizing ability.

The layer-stacking mode of a two-dimensional (2D) material plays a dominant role either in its topology or properties, but remains challenging to control. Herein, we developed alkali-metal ion-regulating synthetic control on the stacking structure of a vinylene-linked covalent triazine framework (termed spc-CTF) for improving hydrogen peroxide (HO) photoproduction. Upon the catalysis of EtONa in Knoevenagel polycondensation, a typical eclipsed stacking mode (spc-CTF-4@AA) was built, while a staggered one (spc-CTF-4@AB) was constructed using LiOH.

Carbon dots (CDs) mediated g-CN (CN) is a promising visible-light-driven semiconductor in catalyzing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for aqueous contaminants remediation. However, the poor dispersibility of powered catalyst and its challenging recyclability impede their broader application. Herein, we embedded FeN bridge within the g-CN framework and immobilized g-CN gel beads (CA/FNCCN) through a 3D cross-linking process with sodium alginate.
