In this work, magnetic beads were separated from industrial waste fly ash by wet magnetic separation and used as magnetic seeds (MS-CFA) in magnetic coagulation (MC). The superiority of MC was evaluated by comparison with traditional coagulation (TC). Meanwhile, The potential and feasibility of MS-CFA were evaluated by also employing Fe 3 O 4 in the MC process. MS-CFA was characterized by SEM, XRD, VSM, and XPS. The results showed that MS-CFA was a composite microsphere crystal with a saturation magnetization of 33.71 emu/g. The addition of MS-CFA reduced the residual turbidity from 10.87 NTU to 3.27 NTU and increased the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate from 42.92% to 64.24%. MS-CFA achieved water treatment performance comparable to or even better than Fe3O4, especially in organic matter removal. As a waste-derived material, MS-CFA not only reduces costs but also provides stronger adsorption for organic pollutants. This study provides a reference route for developing low-cost and high-efficiency magnetic coagulation technology.","PeriodicalId":11445,"journal":{"name":"E3S Web of Conferences","volume":"728 1","pages":"01008-01008"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2026/46/e3sconf_eeupd26_01008.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148672199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on release kinetics show that the essential oil microcapsules’ release behaviour at 37°C and 65°C follows the Peppas equation, indicating a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism. In conclusion, β-CD can be used as a wall volume to control the constant flow of essential oils and extend the persistence of the antibacterial effect.","PeriodicalId":11445,"journal":{"name":"E3S Web of Conferences","volume":"713 1","pages":"01011-01011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2026/31/e3sconf_rees2026_01011.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148305694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research findings demonstrated that carbon aerogel electrodes, subjected to different carbonization temperatures, possess a distinctive three-dimensional mesh architecture. Furthermore, it was observed that both the degree of graphitization and the presence of unsaturated carbon structures within the material intensified as the carbonization temperature was elevated.

This study aims to develop magnetic vanadium-substituted HPAbased ZIF-8 composites to create a catalyst for biodiesel production from WCO that is more efficient and easier to separate. In this work, a range of analytical methods was utilized to characterize the catalyst, such as Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The successful incorporation of HPA acid into the magnetite ZIF-8 nanocomposite was indicated by prominent bands in the FTIR analysis, and this formation was further validated by EDX analysis. The VSM results also revealed that the nanocomposite has good magnetic responsiveness, facilitating catalyst separation and recycling. The magnetic ZIF-8 composites functionalized with H 6 PV 3 MoW 8 O 40 demonstrated significant potential for sustainable biodiesel production from WCO.","PeriodicalId":11445,"journal":{"name":"E3S Web of Conferences","volume":"603 1","pages":"03006-03006"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2025/03/e3sconf_isgst2024_03006.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147334027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify the key factors influencing adsorption performance, a two-factorial experimental design was employed, investigating polymerization temperature, polymerization time, alkali concentration, activation temperature, and activation time. A total of 32 experimental runs confirmed calcination temperature and time as the most significant parameters affecting amoxicillin removal, achieving efficiencies of up to 14.43%.

The performance tests indicate that the Ao-S membranes are effective in separating the model dyes of rhodamine (Rhb) dissolved in isopropanol (IPA) solution and the heat treatment temperature of 240°C is the optimized one for improving the separation of dyes due to the combined effect of pore trapping and physical adsorption at the active sites of the polymer matrix.

In this paper, the effects of compost and vermiculite inoculants were compared by experiments. In addition, the formula of vermiculite culture solution was optimized, and the experimental results showed that the determination efficiency of product degradation rate could be effectively improved by adding specific microbial bacteria (potassium bacteria, bacillus group, lactic acid bacteria group, etc.). At the same time, the optimized culture solution formula can better control the nutrient composition, solve the problems of batch to batch instability, artificial factors, and improve the reproducibility and repeatability of detection.

To address these issues, this study proposes a novel method that combines extrusion-spheronization with mixed sintering to produce composite phase change particles with high fluidity, excellent leakage resistance, and high energy storage density. An MgO skeleton is incorporated into the NaCl-KCl phase change material to provide structural support, prevent leakage and deformation, and enhance the thermal conductivity.
