Recovering bromide ions from wastewater can not only alleviate the shortage of bromine resources but also solve the problem of bromine pollution. However, there is no efficient method for selective extraction of bromide ions from bromine-containing wastewater up to now. In this paper, chitosan was acidified into a gel to extend its molecular chain, modified by quaternary ammonium salt functional groups, and then crosslinked to obtain a new adsorption material. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, XPS and TGA. The effects of adsorption time, pH value, adsorbent dosage, coexisting anions, reusability on the adsorption behavior of bromide ions were studied. Under the optimum adsorption conditions, the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 38.21 mg·g at the temperature of 298 K and pH of 7. In addition, batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of bromide ions was better consistent with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, which could also further clarify the adsorption process mechanism. The mechanism of adsorption behavior of bromide ions on quaternary ammonium-modified chitosan was based on ion exchange. This work provides a new possibility for the recovery of bromide ions from wastewater.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant interest in the field of photocatalysis. In this study, Z-scheme heterojunction BM-x composites consisting of bismuth bromide oxide (BiOBr) and iron-based metal-organic backbone (MIL-100(Fe)) were successfully synthesized using ethylene glycol as a solvent. The composites were characterized using various techniques.

Health and environmental risks posed by volatile organic solvents create an incentive to develop safer, less volatile solvents with the appropriate functionality. Deep eutectic solvents and other low-volatility organic mixtures offer a highly tunable alternative through a mixture composition selection. However, a significant gap exists in understanding the relationship between molecular-level properties and the resulting solvation and transport properties.

Soil steam disinfection (SSD) has emerged as a highly promising substitute for methyl bromide fumigation in the management of soil-borne pathogens, nematodes, and weed seeds. In the present study, an innovative steam boiler driven by Helmholtz-type pulse combustors was meticulously engineered to meet the requirements of SSD in horticultural greenhouses. The water within the boiler was partitioned into discrete zones, and a total of 80 temperature sensors were strategically positioned to precisely monitor the temperature fluctuations at specific locations.

Water and oil do not mix. This essential statement of the hydrophobic effect explains why oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are unstable and why energy must be supplied to form such emulsions. Breaking O/W emulsions is an exothermic event.
