The TICT (twisted intramolecular charge transfer) of BDC was inhibited with an increase in viscosity, accompanied by a significant enhancement of red fluorescence signal with emission wavelength beyond 800 nm. Notably, BDC was able to noninvasively and sensitively monitor the viscosity changes in the glands of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice model.

It was found that the adsorption rate of SEI on Pb(II) and Cd(II) obeyed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, while the adsorption pattern was closely related to the Langmuir equation.

It incorporates heat and mass balance equations and captures a wide range of chemical reactions, including the reduction of iron ore by hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the calcination of carbonate materials, the water–gas shift reaction, and coal gasification and combustion. Unknown parameters in the model, such as heat loss in each reactor, the extent of the calcination reaction, and the outlet gas temperature from the melter-gasifier, were estimated to calibrate the model. These parameters were estimated by solving an optimization problem that minimizes the gap between the model and real plant data. The optimized model was employed to investigate various scenarios for minimizing CO emissions in the FINEX process. This included assessing the impact of HBI charging rates, iron ore quality, and the integration of a CCUS unit.
