Capacitive deionization (CDI) has emerged as a promising technique for brackish water desalination. Here, composites of polypyrrole grafted activated carbon (Ppy/AC) were prepared via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization pyrrole on AC particles. The Ppy/AC cathode was then coupled with MnO2 anode desalination membrane-free CDI cell. Both the and electrodes exhibited pseudocapacitive behaviors, which can selectively reversibly intercalate Cl- Na+ (MnO2) ions. Compared to electrodes,...

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technique for brackish water desalination. However, its salt electrosorption capacity insufficient practical application yet, and little information available on hardness ion (Mg2+, Ca2+) removal in CDI. Herein, hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) was prepared from low-cost renewable microalgae via simple one-pot approach, both MnO2/HPC polyaniline/HPC (PANI/HPC) composites were then synthesized using facile, one-step hydrothermal method. Compared...

The escalating demand for rare earth elements (REEs) highlights the necessity their sustainable recovery from waste streams and secondary resources. However, this process requires materials with exceptional selectivity capacity REEs due to low concentration high presence of interfering ions. Herein, we synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) subsequently modified it tributyl phosphate (TBP) enhance its affinity REEs. distribution coefficients ( K d ) ZIF-8-TBP (neodymium, Nd,...

This study investigated the effects of biochar application with organic or mineral fertilizers on soil microbial biomass, and associated emissions CO2 CH4 under field settings planted peanut. The results indicated that physicochemical properties were improved application. Soil biomass carbon (MBC) was significantly increased plus fertilizer compared to only, but no significant difference MBC found between treatment only. Biochar did not affect amount nitrogen (MBN) either fertilizer....

Abstract Salinity gradient (SG) energy is a large and renewable resource for clean production, which naturally exists between seawater river water, can also be created during desalination processes at various industry sites. Recently, new approach efficient SG recovery was proposed based on concentration flow cells. However, it not clear what the working principle of this system how electrode properties will affect performance system. In study, four different hexacyanoferrate electrodes...

A mixing entropy battery (MEB) based on a pair of cationic and anionic electrodes is novel method to extract salinity gradient (SG) energy. However, so far, only precious AgCl are reported as in MEBs. Herein, it demonstrated that bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) can be an alternative electrode for MEBs harvest SG In tests with 30 1 g L −1 NaCl solutions, the origin MEB uncoated BiOCl copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) produces energy density 8 J m −2 average power 59 mW . To boost output, CuHCF...

The present study investigated the effects of lead on morphological structure, physical and chemical properties, wastewater treatment performance microbial community structure aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). results showed that at Pb(2+) concentration 1 mg/L, mixed liquid suspended solids decreased, settling velocity increased volume index sharply. Meanwhile, AGS began to disintegrate show an irregular shape. In terms SBR, phosphorus removal rate was...
