Experimental studies on the cooling and heating performance of a highly emissive coating.

In this study, the cooling effect below ambient air temperature, heat dissipation properties and heating energy efficacy of a superomniphobic self-cleaning (SSC) highly emissive (HE) coating were systematically investigated. Except at midday, the SSC-HE coating with an extremely high solar reflectance of 0.985 showed a better cooling effect than a 10-cm-thick polyurethane insulation layer.

Synthesis of amorphous-MnO/Clinoptilolite and its utilization for NH-N oxidation in an anoxic environment.

Mediating the anoxic ammonia oxidation with manganese oxide (MnO) can reduce the requirements of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in constructed wetlands (CWs) and improve the removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH-N). Recent studies that employed natural manganese ore and/or mine waste as substrates in CWs may develop potentially negative environmental effects due to leachates. However, removing NH-N by anoxic ammonia oxidation is influenced by the crystal form of MnO.

Mn(VII) enhanced by CaSO to remove trace organic pollutants in high salt organic wastewater: Further enhancement of salinity.

The high concentration of salt in organic wastewater has a strong inhibitory effect on the removal of pollutants. A method for the efficient removal of trace pollutants in high-salinity organic wastewater was developed. This study investigated the effect of the combination of permanganate [Mn(VII)] and calcium sulfite [S(IV)] on pollutant removal in hypersaline wastewater.

Performance of a superamphiphobic self-cleaning passive subambient daytime radiative cooling coating on grain and oil storage structures.

The thermal performance of a novel exterior coating material for commonly used grain and food-grain oil structures was investigated. Grain structures included a concrete squat silo and a concrete warehouse while the edible oil structure was a concrete sided tank. The exterior coating provided excellent moisture runoff and solar reflectance properties and is best described as a superamphiphobic self-cleaning passive subambient daytime radiative cooling (SSC-PSDRC) coating.

Design and manufacture of a radiative cooler to measure the subambient cooling effect and cooling power.

The obscure theory of passive subambient daytime radiative cooling (PSDRC) was deduced in a more understandable way using an arithmetic formula rather than integro-differential equations. Based on two boundary conditions of the equations, an innovative radiative cooler was successfully developed to qualitatively observe PSDRC phenomena and quantitatively characterize the cooling effect and cooling power of radiative cooling coatings (RC coatings). The remarkable subambient temperature reduction over 4.

[Peroxidation of High Algae-laden Water by Ozone: Algae Organic Matter Transformation and Disinfection By-products Formation].

Formation characteristics and transferring feature of nitrogenous/carbonaceous disinfection by-products have been observed under different ozone dosages and pH conditions, and essential nature conversion of Algae organic matters has been also studied concurrently, based on high algae-laden water. The results showed as follows:reduction of Microcystis aeruginosa could reach 36% at the ozonation concentration of 28.92 mg·L.
