In this work, a new three-component eutectic solvent based on bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)phosphinic acid (BTMPPA), tributyl phosphate (TBP) and phenol was proposed. The formation of the eutectic solvent was confirmed by IR and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The temperature dependences of the main physical properties of the proposed eutectic solvent—the refractive index, density and viscosity—were determined. For the first time, the extraction properties of the eutectic solvent BTMPPA/TBP/phenol (1:1:2) were studied using the example of the extraction of metal ions from aqueous nitrate solutions. The extraction efficiencies of Pr, Nd and Dy in a single stage were 34, 38 and 81%, respectively. The extraction behaviour of Pr, Nd and Dy with the eutectic solvent BTMPPA/TBP/phenol was studied as a function of pH, salting-out agent concentration, component ratio in the eutectic mixture, phase volume ratio, etc. Nitric acid with a concentration of 0.5 mol/L was chosen as a stripping agent, and the chemical stability of the eutectic solvent BTMPPA/TBP/phenol during extraction–stripping cycles was evaluated. In summary, the proposed hydrophobic eutectic solvent has good physical characteristics and enables a more efficient recovery of rare-earth elements from nitrate solutions.","PeriodicalId":20597,"journal":{"name":"Processes","volume":"13 9","pages":"2830-2830"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/13/9/2830/pdf?version=1756909663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147331131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing studies have mainly focused on its fruit, while the calyx, despite its significant bioactivity, has long been neglected. In particular, research on the changes in polyphenol content and antioxidant activity during its drying process remains scarce. This study aimed to optimize the extraction process, comprehensively profile the polyphenol composition, and evaluate the effects of the drying temperature on the polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity in the calyx of Physalis alkekengi L. (CPAL). Ultrasound-assisted extraction (40 kHz, 300 W) combined with response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction conditions. The optimized parameters were determined as a 49% ethanol concentration, a 42 mL/g liquid-to-material ratio, a 64 °C extraction temperature, and a 29 min extraction time. Under these settings, the yield reached 10.44 ± 0.16 mg GAE/g, exceeding that of the conventional heat reflux extraction method. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, 63 polyphenolic compounds were identified, primarily derivatives of kaempferol, quercetin, and hydroxycinnamic acid; 43 of these compounds were first reported in CPAL. CPAL polyphenols possess potent antioxidant activities, with IC50 values of 68.77, 12.76, and 101.24 μg/mL for DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP, respectively. Furthermore, as the drying temperature increased, the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of CPAL increased significantly.

In Sardinia (Italy), the mining history has left a particularly severe burden of abandoned sites, making remediation a regional priority. To address this issue and to effectively prioritize interventions at abandoned mining sites, a relative risk assessment approach was developed by the Sardinia Regional Administration and the Italian National Institute for Environmental Protection and Research. The aim of this paper is to highlight the results and information obtainable with the above-mentioned approach through its application to a real case: the Montevecchio Levante mining district in southwestern Sardinia. The study provides a detailed identification of the factors underlying the high intervention priority associated with the site under investigation. An analytical quantification of the contribution of the main contaminants to the overall risk was carried out through the calculation of specific risk indices. At the same time, the environmental matrices most involved in the contamination mechanisms were identified. The results indicate that the overall risk is largely driven by the presence of carcinogenic contaminants, with cadmium and lead contributing primarily to the risks associated with surface water and soil, respectively. The findings provide a solid basis for developing targeted strategies to mitigate ecological and public health risks in abandoned mining areas.","PeriodicalId":20597,"journal":{"name":"Processes","volume":"13 8","pages":"2629-2629"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/13/8/2629/pdf?version=1755666903","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147909281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, CQ forms irreversible chemical bonds with rock surfaces via Si-O-Si linkages (verified by FT-IR/EDS), imparting durable amphiphobicity with water and oil contact angles of 135° and 116°, respectively. This modification exhibits exceptional stability: increasing salinity from 2536 to 10,659 mg/L reduced angles by only 6° (water) and 4° (oil), while 70 °C aging in aqueous/oleic phases preserved amphiphobicity without reversion—supported by &gt;300 °C thermal decomposition in TGA; confirming chemical bonding durability. Mechanistic analysis identifies dual EOR pathways: amphiphobic surfaces lower rolling angles, surface free energy (SFE), and fluid adhesion to facilitate pore migration, while CQ intrinsically reduces oil-water interfacial tension (IFT). Core displacement experiments showed that injecting 0.05 wt% CQ followed by secondary waterflooding yielded an additional 10–18% increase in oil recovery. This improvement is attributed to enhanced mobilization of residual oil, with greater EOR efficacy observed in smaller pore throats. Field trials at the Huabei Oilfield validated practical applicability: Production rates of test wells C-9 and C-17 increased several-fold, accompanied by reduced water cuts.

Due to their inherently low permeability and porosity, horizontal well drilling is commonly employed to enhance production, with the length of the horizontal section playing a critical role in determining CBM output. However, during extended horizontal drilling, wellbore instability frequently occurs as a result of drilling fluid invasion into the coal formation, posing significant safety challenges. This instability is primarily caused by the physical intrusion of drilling fluids and their interactions with the coal seam, which alter the mechanical integrity of the formation. To address these challenges, interpenetrating and semi-interpenetrating network (IPN/s-IPN) hydrogels have gained attention due to their superior physicochemical properties. This material offers enhanced sealing and support performance across fracture widths ranging from micrometers to millimeters, making it especially suited for plugging applications in deep CBM reservoirs. A self-degradable interpenetrating double-network hydrogel particle plugging agent (SSG) was developed in this study, using polyacrylamide (PAM) as the primary network and an ionic polymer as the secondary network. The SSG demonstrated excellent thermal stability, remaining intact for at least 40 h in simulated formation water at 120 °C with a degradation rate as high as 90.8%, thereby minimizing potential damage to the reservoir. After thermal aging at 120 °C, the SSG maintained strong plugging performance and favorable viscoelastic properties. A drilling fluid containing 2% SSG achieved an invasion depth of only 2.85 cm in an 80–100 mesh sand bed. The linear viscoelastic region (LVR) ranged from 0.1% to 0.98%, and the elastic modulus reached 2100 Pa, indicating robust mechanical support and deformation resistance.","PeriodicalId":20597,"journal":{"name":"Processes","volume":"13 8","pages":"2453-2453"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/13/8/2453/pdf?version=1754204346","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
