In this study, three commercial activated carbons, MSC, CPL, and SXP, were intentionally and precisely selected to span a broad range of surface areas (~1000–3000 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and surface pH values (5.3–7.5), enabling a comparative evaluation of their physicochemical properties and adsorptive performance. These materials and their oxidized counterparts were tested against hazardous vapors (blister agent mustard gas surrogate, CEES) and aqueous pollutants (radionuclides U-232 and Am-241). MSC exhibited an ultrahigh surface area and delivered the highest CEES uptake (1397 mg/g), the highest reported to date. However, oxidation significantly decreased porosity, resulting in diminished vapor-phase performance. In contrast, the same oxidation enriched the surfaces with acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, substantially enhancing radionuclide affinity, especially in neutral and saline media. The oxidized MSC outperformed all other materials in aqueous radionuclide removal, across a wide range of pH (4–9) and more importantly, in seawater. These results reveal the dual role of oxidation: beneficial for liquid-phase adsorption through surface complexation, yet unfavorable for gas-phase purification where pores volume and accessibility maters the most. Overall, this work underscores the importance of tuning both surface area and surface chemistry for application-specific purification strategies and finally that activated nanoporous carbons can push even further the boundaries for efficient air and aqueous purification applications.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FC secreted <em>c</em>-di-GMP via a <em>Wsp</em> chemosensory-like system and promoted the alginate production. Acidobacteriota-affiliated bacteria exhibited expression of gene <em>algl</em> (4.47 %) to utilize alginate, contributing to PS polymerization and a tight assembly of FC and bacteria. In return, bacteria provided growth factors and facilitated public-goods (vitamins and cofactors) exchanges with FC.

However, alternating current electroluminescence fibers (ACEFs) fail to withstand harsh environments due to the complex and fragile structure. Fortunately, robust light-emitting could benefit from rope helical structure combined with high strength characteristic of aramid. Herein, we designed a conductive aramid-based high-strength wrapped electroluminescent fibers (HWELFs) via dipcoating and wrapping process. And then, a high-strength luminescent rope (HSLR) was fabricated with multi-axis braided rope technology, into which HWELFs were intergrated. This newly devised conductive aramid-based core electrode and wrapped conductive Nylon-based electrode structure extends the functionalities of the ACEFs by overcoming the fragile and high voltage driving bottlenecks. The prepared HWELFs can achieve a luminance of 39.957 cd m<sup>−2</sup> at a voltage of 200 V, while the luminescent intensity is still 83 % under the condition of 30 N stretching. The HSLR woven from the HWELFs inherits the excellent luminescent performance and exhibits outstanding visibility and luminescent stability in underwater environments, confirming the significant potential in complex rescue scenarios. Therefore, the rope provides an effective solution for precise positioning and path guidance in low-visibility rescue scenarios, laying the foundation for the future design of intelligent rescue ropes.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their intrinsic tendency toward autocatalytic decomposition undermines storage and operational safety. Although NO<sub>2</sub> radicals—formed by initial RO–NO<sub>2</sub> bond cleavage—are acknowledged to drive low-temperature autocatalysis, the exact mechanism is disputed. Here, we integrate molecular dynamics simulations with quantum chemical calculations to elucidate the early decomposition events and key bimolecular reactions that sustain autocatalysis. We select isopropyl nitrate (iPN) and nitroglycerin (NG) as model mono- and polynitrate esters, respectively. The results indicate that, in condensed-phase thermal decomposition of iPN, RO radicals—rather than NO<sub>2</sub>-mediated H-abstraction or acid-hydrolysis pathways—exhibit the lowest free energy barriers and greatest exothermicity. For NG, RO radicals preferentially undergo unimolecular dissociation or react with NO<sub>2</sub>, thereby propagating radical chain pathways. These findings refine our mechanistic understanding of nitrate ester autocatalysis and highlight the hitherto underappreciated role of RO radicals. Such insights may inform the rational design of more effective stabilizers for nitrate ester-based energetic materials.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional numerical characterization methods often focus only on time-averaged data, failing to resolve the inherent dynamic complexities governing these systems. This study proposes an integrated approach, combining Computational Fluid Dynamics - Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM) simulations with advanced nonlinear dynamics analysis, to comprehensively elucidate the true dynamic characteristics of both monodisperse and polydisperse gas-solid fluidized beds.We systematically investigated dynamic pressure and solids distribution fluctuations extracted from high-fidelity CFD-DEM simulations across varying superficial gas velocities, compositional variations, probe positions, and aspect ratios. Employing tools from nonlinear dynamics theory, this analysis rigorously unveiled the intrinsic nonlinearity of fluidized beds, confirming their profound sensitivity to initial conditions and complex, unpredictable behavior. Specifically, Kolmogorov Entropy, quantifying information loss and system unpredictability, and Correlation Dimension, measuring system complexity and degrees of freedom, were precisely quantified. These robust metrics provided unprecedented, nuanced insights into fluidization regime transitions, the critical influence of polydispersity on dynamic behavior, the intricate dynamics of bubble formation and interaction, and the precise identification of highly chaotic regions within the bed.This study significantly advances the understanding of fluidized bed dynamic characteristics by introducing a robust methodology that transcends conventional reliance on averaged properties. The integration of CFD–DEM with nonlinear dynamics analysis demonstrates high efficacy, yielding robust, data-driven insights crucial for optimizing reactor design and enhancing operational control. Furthermore, by successfully capturing dynamic profiles, this combined approach establishes a strong foundation for rigorous investigations into the scale-up of fluidized bed reactors, delineating a clear trajectory for future research.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
