The rapid and reliable detection of urine APAP concentration can offer certain guidance for better management of APAP usage. This study explored the electrochemical sensing application of a novel electrocatalyst prepared from the biomass of <em>Elaeagnus angustifolia</em> gum. The biomass was first activated by ferric chloride to form a porous biomass carbon material (FBC). Then cobalt oxide (CoC) cracked nanoplate were synthesized by alkali precipitation and calcination and were then hybridized onto the biomass carbon <em>via</em> a simple sonication process. The electrocatalyst of CoO-FBC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), element mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution (HR-TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis. The CoO-FBC modified glassy carbon electrode (CoO-FBC/GCE) was characterized by various electrochemical methods including cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The CoO-FBC/GCE sensor was used to measure APAP in 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with a pH of 7.0, and with two linear sensing ranges from 1 μM to 10 μM and from 10 μM to 100 μM, with a sensitivity of 25.89 μA μM<small>⁻¹</small> cm<small>⁻²</small> and 10.04 μA μM<small>⁻¹</small> cm<small>⁻²</small>, respectively, and a limit of detection of 0.46 μM. The unavoidable interference in measuring APAP is the inherent uric acid in urine. Uric acid and APAP exhibited adjacent and sometimes unseparable voltammetric peaks. This CoO-FBC/GCE sensor is capable of distinguishing APAP from uric acid and so APAP can be measured in human urine samples with good recoveries. This CoO-FBC/GCE sensor is a promising application for clinical diagnosis and environmental detection.</p><p>Keywords: <em>Elaeagnus angustifolia</em> gum; Ferric chloride; Polysaccharide biomass; Cobalt oxide nanoplate; Electrochemical sensing; Analgesic and antipyretic drug.</p>","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 1","pages":" 97-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/im/d4im00069b?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141737513","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}

However, the focus lies on energy and chemical intensive metallurgical operations and less on mechanical separation processes in most studies. Here, an innovative surfactant-based separation process (using CTAB and SDS) is investigated to contribute to developing a selective physical separation process for ultrafine particles used in high temperature water electrolyzers (composed of NiO, LSM, ZrO<small>₂</small>, and YSZ). Their different surface charge in alkaline solutions influences the adsorption of surfactants on particle surfaces as well as the modification of particulate wettability, which is a key separation feature. Through the observations of changes in surface charge and wetting behavior in the presence of surfactants, a feasibility of liquid–liquid particle separation (LLPS) is evaluated. The performance of LLPS with model particle mixtures shows the potential of selective separation with recovery of NiO in the organic phase, while the rest of the particles remain in the aqueous phase. Perovskite LSM is not considered in this system because it shows a high possibility of being recovered by magnetic separation. The proposed process can be further optimized by increasing the phase separation stages, and further research is needed on the NiO phase, which showed exceptional behavior in the presence of the surfactants.</p><p>Keywords: Fine particle separation; Solid oxide electrolyzer; Recycling; Particle surface modification.</p>","PeriodicalId":29808,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Chemistry & Materials","volume":" 3","pages":" 469-480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/im/d4im00044g?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141576605","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}

However, these prerequisites are rarely achieved simultaneously. Herein, a green and versatile strategy to rapidly synthesize hierarchically porous ZIFs (HP-ZIFs) was developed using an alkali as a deprotonating agent. The synthesis conditions were room temperature and ambient pressure in an aqueous solution, and the synthesis time could be reduced to 1 min. The produced HP-ZIFs had hierarchically porous structures with mesopores and macropores interconnected with micropores. The STY for HP-ZIFs was up to 9670 kg m<small>⁻³</small> d<small>⁻¹</small>, at least 712 times the previously reported values. In addition, the porosity and morphology of the produced HP-ZIFs could be fine-tuned by controlling the synthesis parameters (<em>e.g.</em>, reaction time, molar ratios, metal source, and alkali source). Compared with conventional ZIFs, the adsorption performance of the as-synthesized HP-ZIFs for <em>p</em>-xylene and <em>n</em>-hexane was significantly improved. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) was utilized to study the pore properties, and the adsorption behavior of HP-ZIFs on guest molecules was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) simulations.
