In this work, we describe novel findings of oxygen vacancy (V<sub>O</sub>) engineering by facile regulating CeO<sub>2</sub> nanocatalysts with different shapes (rod, octahedral, sphere and cube) for COS hydrolysis at lower temperature, aiming at understanding the structural origin of the excellent catalytic hydrolysis activity. Unexpectedly, among CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts with different morphologies, spherical CeO<sub>2</sub> (CeO<sub>2</sub>-S) catalysts can achieve completely conversion of COS at 60 ℃ and maintain 30<!-- --> <!-- -->hours of non-deactivation, which is a significant improvement in catalytic activity and reaction temperature compared to previously reported catalysts. Through various characterizations and results analysis, it is obvious to see that the more spontaneous formation V<sub>O</sub> on CeO<sub>2</sub>-S catalysts synergistically induced the water activation and dissociation thus result in the generation of more surface active hydroxyl groups (-OH), which contributes to the enhanced performance of COS catalytic hydrolysis at lower temperature. The promoting effect of catalyst morphology changes on COS hydrolysis were furthering analyzed using in situ DRIFTS and DFT calculations, and revealed that the exposed (111) crystal plane of CeO<sub>2</sub> exhibits the strongest adsorption capacity for COS. Notably, CeO<sub>2</sub>-S also exhibited good catalytic performance and stability towards to other typical organic sulfur compounds (COS and CS<sub>2</sub>), which is beneficial for the wide application at complex operating conditions. This study provides new insights for designing OH-rich CeO<sub>2</sub> catalysts to remove single as well as multi-component organic sulfur compounds for different applications at lower temperatures.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143083584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated hepatic accumulation of 12 plastic additives (including nine BZT-UVs) in <em>Larus</em> gulls in Atlantic Canada. BZT-UV accumulation was assessed in relation to ingested plastics, hepatic heavy metal accumulation, and body condition. Ninety-six percent of gulls had at least one BZT-UV at detectable hepatic concentrations. The most frequently detected BZT-UVs were UVP (91.4%) and UV328 (76%), suggesting ubiquitous exposure across individuals. We demonstrated interspecific differences in the relationship between ingested plastics and accumulated contaminants, with a positive relationship detected between ingested plastics and both UVP and UV328 in American herring gulls (<em>Larus argentatus smithsonianus</em>), and a positive relationship between hepatic UV328 and Pb concentrations detected in great black-backed gulls (<em>Larus marinus</em>).

An amine-functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge was prepared using glycine hydrochloride as a functional ligand, called the Glycine-PDMS sponge, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (HDEHP) and 2,2'-(Methylimino)bis(N,N-di-n-octylacetamide) (MIDOA) were used as extractants for the extractant-impregnated sponges, called the HDEHP-PDMS and MIDOA-PDMS sponges, respectively. The adsorption and desorption of Mo(VI) were demonstrated by facile soaking and squeezing of the sponges, which is unavailable in conventional adsorbents. Each PDMS sponge enabled selective Mo adsorption in aqueous and acidic solutions, and had different ligand and HNO<sub>3</sub> concentration dependence of the Mo(VI) adsorption capacities. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to be applicable for the Mo(VI) adsorption process on the sponge surfaces. A regression analysis of the isothermal adsorption curves for Mo ions clarified that the adsorption of Mo ions onto all PDMS sponges occurs spontaneously, and that Mo(VI) adsorption mechanism is different depending on sponges; chemisorption for extractant-impregnated sponges and physisorption for an amine-functionalized, respectively. Furthermore, the squeezing of the Mo ion adsorbed PDMS sponges allowed the rapid desorption and recovery of Mo ions into eluent solutions such as deferoxamine B (DFOB) and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> within a few minutes. These results prove that the novel PDMS sponge approach, enabling facile chemical-mechanical adsorption and desorption control of target elements, has great potential in various fields involving the environment, medicine, energy, and so on.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143083589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the persistence and degradation mechanisms of sarin (GB), soman (GD), and sulfur mustard (HD) on three types of commonly used concrete with varying water-cement ratios. Over two months, we evaluated the effects of concrete composition, temperature, and fragment size on CWA behavior. Half-lives and activation energies for CWA dissipation were calculated under various conditions. Results showed that concrete properties and external temperature strongly influenced dissipation rates. G-series agents underwent rapid hydrolysis, forming methylphosphonates, while HD degradation involved elimination, nucleophilic substitution, and oxidation, producing several previously unreported byproducts. Smaller concrete fragments increased recovery values and accelerated degradation due to greater surface area exposure, and higher temperatures further enhanced dissipation rates, particularly for volatile agents. Differences in dissipation among concrete types were linked to their physical and chemical properties, notably water-cement ratios. This study highlights the challenges of detecting CWAs due to their rapid penetration and transformation in concrete and provides insights for improving sampling, identification, and decontamination strategies under realistic conditions.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143084176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these shortcomings, we compiled a comprehensive soil-water sorption dataset encompassing 20,945 data points for 419 OCs with various functional groups and 1037 different soils. Meta-analysis of the dataset revealed the trends of soil sorption associated with OC substructures, soil properties, and solution conditions. Machine learning models employing the XGBoost algorithm, in conjunction with MACCS fingerprints and experimental conditions, were developed to cover the entire spectrum of speciation for cationic, neutral, and anionic species. Among these, the individual models tailored to each speciation achieved an overall root-mean-square-error value of 0.32 for log <em>K</em><sub>d</sub>. Model interpretation revealed that the models correctly understood the contributions of various substructures, such as multiple aromatic rings and nitrogen or oxygen atoms, to sorption. The models were also found to accurately capture isotherm nonlinearity and the pH effect on the sorption of ionizable OCs.
