This work innovatively proposed that recycle MSWI FA as an activator to produce low-carbon and high-performance supersulfated composites (MSSC). Microscopic characterization results revealed the hydration kinetic of MSSC was controlled by ettringite generation. The formed C-S-H in MSSC exhibited fiber-like morphology due to the nucleation and template effects of ettringite nuclei. Unlike conventional solid waste-binders, the designed MSSC formed a unique hydrate network through the overlapping of ettringite, Friedel’s salt and C-S-H, achieving excellent mechanical performance (>72 MPa). Besides, chlorides and PTEs in MSWI FA were strongly immobilized by the formed Friedel’s salt and other hydrates. According to economic and environmental evaluation assessment, the production of such MSSC binder could achieve 8.7 USD/m<sup>3</sup> profits and only caused 44.4 kg/ m<sup>3</sup> CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. This study expanded the resource utilization approach of MSWI FA and contributed to the construction of zero-waste cities and the achievement of carbon neutrality.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877861","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}

Heavy polymer capsules (SA@PAM@OBIP) comprising a temperature-responsive high-temperature corrosion inhibitor were prepared by loading OBIP into an alginate/polyacrylamide (SA@PAM) hydrogel network. The inhibition effects of OBIP on Q235 were investigated through the application of electrochemistry and surface analysis techniques. The results show that when Q235 is immersed in the acidic oilfield solution, the corrosion inhibition rate of OBIP at 8 × 10<sup>-4</sup>mol/L is 93 % and that at 90℃ is 85 %. The calculated electronic parameters (energy gap ΔE = 2.4391 eV) suggest that OBIP molecules are more likely to undergo electron transfer with the iron surface, inhibiting metal corrosion. Additionally, the UV spectrum and EQCM test demonstrate that the SA@PAM@OBIP network capsule exhibits temperature-responsive behavior. Upon reaching the high-temperature working area at the bottom of the well at a speed of 14 cm/s, the SA@PAM@OBIP capsule begins to release OBIP, thereby providing targeted protection against high-temperature corrosion. In addition, SA@PAM@OBIP capsules, which release OBIP in stages, have been shown to triple the duration of corrosion inhibitor action, and the composite carrier reduces the redundancy and waste of corrosion inhibitors caused by oilfield water production processes. In this study, a controllable, efficient, targeted, and stable temperature-responsive corrosion inhibition system was established with the objective of providing long-term targeted anti-corrosion protection for metals in the extreme environment of oil and gas fields.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877865","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}

These materials can be regenerated by increasing water activity, leveraging the moisture swing (MS) effect. The regeneration step releases heat due to water sorption, providing an opportunity to develop an autothermal Vacuum Moisture Swing (aVMS) process that utilizes both a change in CO<sub>2</sub> affinity due to moisture and the heat of water sorption for efficient atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> capture.In this work, the moisture-driven CO<sub>2</sub> sorption was studied for the first time using dynamic column breakthrough (DCB) experiments and subsequent modeling of the obtained sorption isotherms. The results confirm that humidity significantly affects the shape and capacity of the CO<sub>2</sub> isotherms. CO<sub>2</sub> uptake increased sharply at lower relative humidity (RH), while temperature had a less pronounced effect, especially at higher RH. At 15 % RH, the CO<sub>2</sub> loading saturates at 200 ppm, with maximum loads of 0.82 mmol/g at 25 °C and 0.64 mmol/g at 45 °C. However, at 80 % RH, the CO<sub>2</sub> partial pressure required for saturation increases significantly, reaching 60,000 ppm, and the maximum loading drops below 0.4 mmol/g. Interestingly, under certain conditions, partial water desorption was observed during CO<sub>2</sub> sorption, suggesting a complex interplay between the two molecules and the MS sorbent. In addition, the influence of sorbent form factor, flow rate and column geometry on the separation performance was investigated. These findings not only advance the understanding of the complex interaction between CO<sub>2</sub> and water during moisture swing processes but also provide a basis for the engineering of a cost-effective aVMS process for CO<sub>2</sub> DAC.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"219 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876194","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, a persistent imbalance between organ supply and demand limits its accessibility, prompting ongoing research to expand the donor pool. As the global prevalence of fatty liver disease rises, so does the number of liver donors with hepatic steatosis. Severely steatotic livers of donors are associated with increased postoperative complications, whereas reducing steatosis in donor livers can improve recipient outcomes and increase donor eligibility. Current anti-steatotic treatments require extended administration, and no rapid-acting solution has yet been developed for steatotic donor livers. Herein, we introduce a novel nanocomplex capable of significantly reducing hepatic steatosis within a short timeframe. This nanocomplex consists of a MIL core containing thyroid hormone, surface-modified with Anti-ASGR1 for targeted delivery. MIL scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), while the thyroid hormone accelerates intracellular lipid metabolism. The targeting protein, Anti-ASGR1, specifically binds to hepatic receptors, enhancing intracellular cholesterol processing. The safety and efficacy of this nanocomplex have been rigorously validated in both cellular and animal models. Moreover, in liver transplantation studies, perfusion with the nanocomplex yielded promising results. In summary, this nanocomplex offers a rapid method to reduce hepatic steatosis, facilitating the use of steatotic donor livers, alleviating donor shortages, and potentially benefiting individuals with severe fatty liver disease in the future.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876196","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}

A critical prerequisite for component separation and recovery is the delamination of the solar panel layers. However, conventional interlayer separation techniques—such as pyrolysis and wet swelling—are slow, produce toxic gases or liquid waste, and hinder the reuse of organic materials. In this study, we present a rapid delamination strategy for recycling EoL photovoltaic modules, enabling the direct recovery of components including solar cells, glass, fluorine-containing backsheets, and ethylene–vinyl acetate film. This approach leverages the varying thermal expansion properties of each panel layer. Electrothermal pulses are used to induce flash heating and cooling, resulting in dramatic expansion and contraction that facilitates efficient delamination. Compared with pyrolysis and wet methods, the electrothermal pulse enables rapid module recovery within just 1 s. This accelerated delamination process significantly minimizes the pyrolysis of organic materials and allows for the direct separation of plastic backboards and ethylene–vinyl acetate films. As a result, emissions of fluorine-containing waste are reduced, and the recycling of organic plastic waste is facilitated. The recovery ratio of valuable components from EoL modules exceeds 98%. The successful application of this method presents a feasible strategy for the green and economically efficient recycling of EoL photovoltaic devices.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877867","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}

While it is known that extreme climate events such as drought and heatwave contribute to algal bloom proliferation, their potential for use as predictors in water quality modeling remains unknown. This research develops a hierarchical Bayesian model to integrate drought association into the prediction of summer algal biomass through Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in the Nakdong River basin. By employing multiple short-term meteorological and hydrological drought indices (e.g., SPI, SPEI, SSI, EDDI, and EDDISPI) on a 1- to 3-month timescale, along with key physicochemical properties of the river basin, the study explores spatiotemporal factors influencing summer bloom potential. Drought indices, as well as anomalies in water temperature and streamflow, were found to be highly correlated with Chl-a concentration. Using Bayesian inference, the response of predictors to Chl-a levels was examined through sensitivity and uncertainty assessments of posterior distributions, emphasizing the role of trophic states in bloom dynamics. Drought indices demonstrated stronger predictive power for summer Chl-a under eutrophic and hypertrophic conditions than nutrient concentrations (TN and TP). The river basin’s physical properties, particularly streamflow and water temperature anomalies, emerged as the most consistent predictors of summer blooms. As climate extremes increasingly influence these physical conditions, this study presents the role of drought indices in water quality prediction models and offers valuable insights for adaptive water resource management in a changing climate.","PeriodicalId":270,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877868","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}
