The efficient removal of antibiotic residues from aqueous solution is very important for water security. Studies have found that adsorption widely used the antibiotics due to its cost-effectiveness, low energy consumption, simplicity operation, and environmental friendliness. In this study, a novel magnetic porous carbon adsorbent (Ni-MPC-400) with high capacity saturation magnetization was synthesized via direct carbonization Ni-MOF at 400 °C pyrolysis temperature efficiently remove...

Abstract The exploration of advanced water treatment technologies e.g. heterogeneous photocatalysis is the most promising way to address organic pollution issues. Semiconductors based bimetallic with wide bandgap, have displayed splendid degradation performance in UV light region, but their extension visible light/near infra-red region still a matter great concern. CuO, Co(OH) 2 , CoO and /CuO nanocomposites were synthesized via simple co-precipitation method further practiced for Rhodamine...

Microplastics (MPs) will cause compound pollution by combining with organic pollutants in the aqueous environment. It is important for environmental protection to study adsorption mechanism of different MPs pollutants. In this study, behaviors malachite green (MG) and rhodamine B (RhB) on polyethylene (PE) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were studied single systems binary systems, separately. The results show that system, adsorptions between (MG RhB) are more consistent pseudo-second-order kinetics...

In this work, the defective Cu-BDC with different defect concentration and Cu1+/Cu2+ coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS) content were designed synthesized by introducing linkers pKa values. The low-concentration defects in Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) structure act as active to enhance their photocatalytic activity. contrast, high serve recombination centers of photogenerated electrons holes decrease transfer efficiency charge carriers. Cu-BDC-FBA shows an excellent bifunctional...

Distillation has relatively low thermodynamic efficiency, so it is a prime target for process intensification studies. The current research aims to study exergy losses in various heat-integrated distillation columns. A conventional industrial-scale i-butane/n-butane fractionator been selected as case the comparison of performances designs. Aspen Plus® simulator used perform steady-state simulations and analyses column (CDC), internally (iHIDiC), externally double columns (EHIDDiC), vapor...

Noble metal catalysts such as Pt/C and RuO2 are the most efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) evolution (OER) show excellent activity. However, their high costs, scarcity, single function, weak durability impede large-scale practical application. Therefore, it is paramount to design bifunctional electrocatalysts with activity, long durability, low cost. In this work, we used functionalized modification hierarchical porous structure of MOFs adjusted ratio Co/Mo atoms prepare uniformly...
