Siderite is stabilised against oxidation in the presence of Low Molecular Weight Organic Acids (LMWOAs) with implications for iron mineral transformations and therefore contaminant and nutrient cycling.
Fractionated pyrolysis coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) appears as an interesting analytical tool for elucidating lignocellulosic biomass structure, as it allows the progressive release of chemical fragments representative of biomass macromolecular composition. In this paper the effect of fractionated pyrolysis time (from 5 s to 300 s) on the degradation of lignin and carbohydrates from beech wood was studied at temperatures between 250 \u00b0C and 500 \u00b0C. Fractionated Py-GC/MS showed that the release temperature of the volatile degradation products varied between the volatile species detected. In addition, the step duration time changed the thermal degradation behavior of lignocellulosic components. Shortening the constant step duration time from 300 s to 5 s shifted the maximum weight loss to the higher temperatures. The result was opposite at long step duration times. Time optimization at each pyrolysis temperature (250 \u00b0C, 40 s; 300 \u00b0C, 30 s; 350 \u00b0C, 25 s; 370 \u00b0C, 20 s; 400 \u00b0C, 15 s; 450 \u00b0C, 10 s; 500 \u00b0C, 5 s) enhanced the yield of both lignin and carbohydrate volatile pyrolysis degradation products. In addition, two multiple temperature maxima were shown for some lignin and carbohydrate derivatives. This behavior may be due to the two different pathways of formation and macromolecular origins of compounds in beech wood. At optimized conditions lignin derivatives having a 3-carbon side chain substituent had a maximum at lower temperature than that of lignin derivatives with a 1-carbon side chain substituent. That phenomenon follows the order of primary and secondary pyrolysis reactions. Similar behaviors were observed among the degradation products of hemicelluloses and cellulose. Degradation products of hemicelluloses were mainly released at lower temperatures than those of cellulose derivatives, which illustrates the lower thermal stability of hemicelluloses compared to cellulose.

Batch kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of contact time, initial CPX concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH and temperature. The adsorbents were characterized by ATR-FTIR, N2 sorption, SEM and XRD, while several isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic models were evaluated attempting to shed light on the adsorption mechanisms. CPX adsorption on both adsorbents was better described by Langmuir model, with an adsorption capacity of 112.36\uffc2\uffa0mg/g for palygorskite and 11.79\uffc2\uffa0mg/g for bauxite. Thermodynamics revealed the endothermic and the spontaneous character of the process, indicating chemisorption as the main adsorption mechanism for both adsorbents. The pseudo-second-order and the Elovich models fitted satisfactorily the adsorption onto bauxite, while adsorption onto palygorskite was well presented by Weber\uffe2\uff80\uff93Morris model, indicating that pore diffusion is also involved in the process. The adsorption capacity of both minerals decreased significantly after being used for several adsorption cycles and then almost completely recovered (regeneration efficiency was 99.6% and 98% for palygorskite and bauxite, respectively) inside a novel cold plasma microbubble reactor energized by high-voltage nanopulses, revealing the potential of these adsorbents to be reused. In addition to the regeneration of the adsorbents, the cold plasma completely eliminated the CPX transferred from the solid to the aqueous phase during the regeneration process.\u00a0120%.

Fundamental understanding of smouldering fire spread is essential for the development of mitigating technologies. In this paper, we have systematically conducted 63 experiments studying the individual and combined influence of two key factors affecting multidimensional smouldering spread in organic soils: moisture content (MC) and inorganic content (IC). Both lateral and in-depth smouldering spread were investigated using a novel shallow reactor. This shallow depth allows a greater number of experiments to be performed in a short period of time compared to deeper samples. Lateral spread was found to decrease linearly with moisture content (R2 > 90%); while in-depth spread rate increased linearly up to 300% from moisture content of 0% to 140%. Increased inorganic content linearly decreased the lateral spread rate but had little influence on in-depth spread in drier samples. Interestingly, in wetter samples, in-depth spread was in fact sensitive to inorganic content. A novel approach combining lateral and in-depth spread rates as vector components, revealed that the global spread is independent of moisture content, with an average spread rate of 8.7 and 8.4\u00a0cm/h for 2.5 and 40% IC, with changes in direction according to moisture content; going in-depth for wet soils, and laterally for dry soils. Similarly, increasing the IC encouraged downward spread for wet samples. We also report observations of a bifurcation of lateral spread, where spread would locally extinguish where the in-depth spread was greater than the lateral spread. These findings provide previously unknown insight into the relationship between lateral and in-depth spread in smouldering fires, ultimately improving the fundamental understanding of such fires.", "keywords": ["Technology", "Engineering", " Chemical", "Energy & Fuels", "0904 Chemical Engineering", "Engineering", " Multidisciplinary", "TRANSIENT GAS", "Chemical", "02 engineering and technology", "Wildfire", "MOISTURE", "0902 Automotive Engineering", "01 natural sciences", "0201 civil engineering", "Engineering", "Smouldering", "Heat transfer", "Biomass", "PEAT FIRES", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "Multidisciplinary", "Science & Technology", "Energy", "CONSUMPTION", "15.

Photocatalysis has been regarded as a desirable technology for organic pollutant removal, but is underappreciated in degradation of persistent organic pollutants due to the low adsorption capacity and photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts. In this study, a scalable photocatalyst of single/few-layered carbon nitride nanosheets with carbon vacancies (Cv-CNNs) is synthesized through a thermal process. Quantum mechanical simulation results reveal that the C vacancies can change the plane structure of CN sheets, enhancing adsorption capability of Cv-CNNs towards sulfadiazine (SDZ, a refractory antibiotic pollutant). Furthermore, the introduction of C vacancies in Cv-CNNs enhance the redox capacity, promoting photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and SDZ degradation. The removal efficiency of SDZ (5\u202fmg L\u22121) reaches almost 100% within 20\u202fmin under visible-light irradiation.

Conducted research presents a rapid and cost-effective approach to technological processing of screen-printed films with anatase TiO2 nanoparticles, by utilizing the high fluence laser radiation. The influence of laser sintering on the screen-printed films was characterized with optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nanoindenter measurements and current vs voltage measurements. Investigation of surface morphology of screen-printed films revealed that higher laser fluences caused significant decrease in film thickness, trough evaporation of organic additives used in the paste matrix. EDX mapping of carbon content in untreated and laser sintered surface confirmed removal of organic additives. Laser sintering stimulated breaking of large agglomerates into much finer nano-sized particles and promoted formation of necking between individual grains. Crystal structure and vibrational properties of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles was monitored with Raman spectroscopy before and after laser sintering. Obtained results point out that anatase polymorph was preserved during the sintering process, without appearance of other phases. From observation of the behavior of the most intense Eg Raman active mode it was deduced that laser sintering provoked a formation of structural defects i.e. oxygen vacancies in TiO2 nanoparticles, whose concentration increased in the samples treated with higher laser fluences. Mechanical properties of untreated and laser sintered samples were investigated with nanoindenter measurements using several load forces, in order to carefully probe the Young modulus and mechanical hardness. From the analysis of collected data, we established that overall improvement of the mechanical properties with laser sintering originates from formation of very dense ceramic layer with enhanced interconnectivity between individual TiO2 nanoparticles.

Cumulative and residual effects were evaluated in the last year and 2 years after the last DTPOMW field application (2005 and 2007, respectively). The results showed that the adsorption of diuron to the soil significantly increased in the presence of DTPOMW in the laboratory and field-amended soils, and that humic acid content was mainly responsible for this increase. The DTPOMW soil application only significantly increased the half-life of diuron in the laboratory-amended soils, ranging from 8.6d for the original soil to 51 d at the greater application rate. The DTPOMW amendments significantly reduced the downward mobility of diuron, and reduced the amount of herbicide leached in the laboratory and field-amended soils, and no residues of diuron were detected in the leacheate of the residual-amended columns. In the field study, DTPOMW addition increased the persistence of diuron in the upper 10 and 5 cm of the soils in the cumulative and residual years, respectively, decreasing the herbicide's vertical movement through the amended soils with increasing DTPOMW rate.

In this context, despite many researches have been performed to demonstrate 'legacy' PFAS harmfulness, only few data are still available about all the emerging fluorinated molecules, industrially introduced to replace the previous ones. For this reason, we proposed the medicinal leech Hirudo verbana as consolidated invertebrate model to assess the effects of four different PFAS (HFPO-DA, PFMoBa, PFOA and PFMOPrA) following freshwater dispersion. Morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular analyses demonstrate that, despite all the compounds basically induce an acute inflammatory and oxidative stress response, a different cellular and molecular response has been observed. Whereas for PFOA and PFMOPrA an increase in the tested concentration leads to a corresponding rise in the immune response, HFPO-DA and PFMoBa trigger an entirely opposite effect. Indeed, the significant recruitment of both granulocytes and macrophage like cells, typically involved in the removal of non-self, is inhibited with increasing concentrations of these compounds.

The research reported here focused on observing and predicting the joint toxicity effects in the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus exposed to binary mixtures of intrinsic graphene (iG)/graphene oxide (GO) and five ILs of varying anionic and cationic types. The isolated ILs in the binary mixtures were the main contributors to toxicity. The binary GO-IL mixtures resulted in more severe joint toxicity than the binary iG-IL mixtures, irrespective of mixture ratios. The mechanism of the joint toxicity may be associated with the adsorption capability of the graphenes for the ILs, the dispersion stability of the graphenes in aquatic media, and modulation of the binary mixtures-induced oxidative stress. A toxic unit assessment showed that the graphene and IL toxicities were additive at low concentration of the mixtures but antagonistic at high concentration of the mixtures.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a central role in driving soil biogeochemistry, but little information is available on the effects of plastic residues, especially microplastic, on soil DOM. We conducted a soil-incubation experiment in a climate-controlled chamber with three levels of microplastic added to loess soil collected from the Loess Plateau in China: 0% (control, CK), 7% (M1) and 28% (M2) (w/w). We analysed the soil contents of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), NH4+, NO3-, dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP), and PO43- and the activities of fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDAse) and phenol oxidase. The higher level of microplastic addition significantly increased the nutrient contents of the DOM solution. The lower level of addition had no significant effect on the DOM solution during the first seven days, but the rate of DOM decomposition decreased in M1 between days 7 and 30, which increased the nutrient contents. The microplastic facilitated the accumulation of high-molecular-weight humic-like material between days 7 and 30. The DOM solutions were mainly comprised of high-molecular-weight humic-like material in CK and M1 and of high-molecular-weight humic-like material and tyrosine-like material in M2. The Microplastic stimulated the activities of both enzymes.

Despite their importance, smouldering fires are poorly understood. An experimental study was carried out here to measure the spread rate of peat fire in detail, using infrared (IR) imaging. Peat samples with different moisture contents were prepared and burned in an open reactor of 20\u00a0\u00d7\u00a020\u00a0cm2 cross section and 10\u00a0cm depth, under laboratory-controlled conditions. In total, twelve experiments were studied, each lasting for 8\u00a0h on average. Infrared and visual cameras were synchronised, and images were acquired at a frequency of 1/min, for the duration of the experiment. Profiles of smouldering spread on the free surface of peat were tracked using an image intensity threshold and then used to calculate the horizontal spread rate. Temporally and spatially resolved spread rates are presented and analysed. Increasing the moisture content of the peat resulted in a decrease in spread rate and the smouldering front became increasingly irregular. At high moisture contents, spread at the lower layers of peat is faster compared to top surfaces which leads to formation of overhang, and IR is able to measure the formation of the overhang and its collapse as a step increase in horizontal spread. The overhang becomes more prominent when moisture content is increased. The new tool allows the study of unprecedented details in the spread of peat fires and can be adopted in future experimental studies.", "keywords": ["Energy", "550", "13.

Among the starches, the water chestnut starch showed altered hierarchical structural features and a relatively low digestion rate. The underlying mechanism on the reduced digestion rate of water chestnut starch was discussed from a hierarchical structural view. Specifically, compared with maize starch, the water chestnut starch contained no pores on the granule surface, with the thickened crystalline lamellae, the increased lamella ordering, and the elevated content of crystallites. Such structural features probably increased the bulk density of molecule assembly in starch and thus could hinder the diffusion of enzyme molecules in starch matrixes. Consequently, the absorption of enzyme to the starch glucan chains could be retarded, resulting in a reduced enzyme hydrolysis rate of starch chains. The relatively large amylose molecules of water chestnut starch also tended to reduce the starch digestion rate, associated with the enhanced molecule interactions such as that between starch chains. In addition, the further reduction in the digestion rate of cassava starch could be also ascribed to the variations in the multi-scale structural features.", "keywords": ["2.

In this regard, properties such as the antioxidant ability to extend food shelf life and light resistance, are of great interest in the production of packaging and mulching films, respectively. These features are obtained by developing blends with pure chemicals and/or natural products as additives. In the present work blend formulations of PLA/PBAT with a walnut shell extract rich in antioxidants were developed and evaluated for their properties in comparison with classic PLA/PBAT. Specifically, natural additives, and most importantly the production process were purposely selected to i) be green and cost-effective; ii) confer antioxidant properties; and iii) improve material performance. To this aim, a walnut shell extract (EWS) with high antioxidant activity was obtained thanks to a novel green and cost-effective microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure. A response surface methodology was utilized to explore how the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity are influenced by varying aqueous ethanol concentration, extraction time, and microwave power. The highest predicted TPC and antioxidant activity were achieved when employing the ideal conditions for Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE): using a mixture of 30\u00a0% ethanol in water, an irradiation time of 120\u00a0s, and a microwave power of 670\u00a0W. The optimized EWS was characterized by HPLC-MS determining qualitative and quantitative data with the identification of flavonoids, fatty acids, and anacardic acids among the main components, responsible for antioxidant activity. The resulting EWS powder was melt-mixed at 140C\u00b0 and 20 RPM with the bio-based PLA/PBAT bioplastic at two different concentrations (0.5 and 1.5 w/w) by forming film specimens. All EWS-based bioplastic films showed increased antioxidant features determined by the DPPH bleaching test, TEAC, and ORAC assays. The films keep the antioxidant capacity even after 7 days of UV-accelerated aging. Remarkably, adding 1.5 % EWS boosted the bioplastic UV light resistance, reducing the abatement of molecular masses by more than 60\u00a0% without affecting mechanical properties.", "keywords": ["H1-99", "Science (General)", "Polyphenols", "02 engineering and technology", "microwave-assisted extraction", "01 natural sciences", "0104 chemical sciences", "Social sciences (General)", "Q1-390", "walnut shells", "Walnut shells", "Response surface methodology", "response surface chemistry", "Microwave-assisted extraction", "UV protection", "agricultural waste", "0210 nano-technology", "Agricultural waste", "Research Article"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.cnr.it/bitstream/20.500.14243/452886/1/Paper.pdf"}, {"href": "https://www.iris.unict.it/bitstream/20.500.11769/588670/1/81_Green3_Green_extraction_green_additives_green_plastics_2024.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Heliyon", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24469"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.electacta.2015.11.110", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"license": "Closed Access", "updated": "2026-09-20T16:15:27Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2015-12-12", "title": "Bismuth film electrode for anodic stripping voltammetric measurement of silver nanoparticle dissolution", "description": "Abstract A straightforward protocol for measuring low concentration levels of Ag(I) using bismuth film electrode (BiFE) in combination with anodic stripping voltammetry was developed and studied as a suitable alternative to current methods for detecting the dissolution of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs).

Soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) have great potential as a low-cost, and self-powered solution to soil bioremediation, compatible with operations in remote areas. In this study, we propose a novel tubular SMFC design, in which a ceramic tube acts as the separator between the air-cathode and the anode, while providing structural support. No oxygen reduction reaction catalyst is used, and to reach depth, several SMFC units are piled together. To assess the effect of both the system design and soil properties on performance, a mathematical model, calibrated with experimental data, is proposed, which accounts for chemical and (bio)electrochemical reactions, as well as for charge conservation and transport phenomena. The information generated provides useful indications on optimal design and operational conditions for SMFCs and a guide to effective scale-up strategies for their use in bioremediation.", "keywords": ["Soil microbial fuel cell", "/dk/atira/pure/subjectarea/asjc/1500/1500; name=General Chemical Engineering", "13.
