The optimal conditions were determined to be a temperature of 195.43 °C, a reaction time of 18.82 min, and a solid/liquid ratio of 0.032 g/mL. The optimized extract (OSE) was analyzed, revealing a total phenol content of 29.01 ± 0.28 mg phloroglucinol equivalent/g and a total flavonoid content of 10.33 ± 0.48 mg quercetin equivalent/g. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry revealed 64 phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and other polyphenols. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed the presence of polysaccharides and phenolic compounds in OSE.

Therefore, it is essential to replace Pb with lighter and nontoxic shielding materials; however, alternative shielding usually exhibits inferior performance to Pb. In this study, we successfully developed efficient radiation shielding sponges with a light weight (density of ∼ 1 g/cm) and a coin shape (thickness of 3 mm and diameter of 25 mm) by combining polymeric Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), sulfated tungsten oxide (S-WO), and bismuth halides. The synthesized S-WO powder, PDMS/S-WO and PDMS/S-WO/BiI sponges are examined using numerous techniques, such as XRD, FE-SEM with EDX/mapping, HR-TEM with EDX/mapping, XPS, BET, TGA, FT-IR and mechanical properties analysis. The XRD patterns revealed no significant peak shifts, indicating that sulfation had no discernible impact on the crystal structure or phase composition of WO. SEM analysis of PDMS/S-WO, PDMS/S-WO/BiI sponge indicated an even distribution of S-WO and bismuth halide particles within the PDMS matrix. Our novel porous sponge matrices of PDMS and S-WO effectively adsorbed bismuth halide salts on their porous surfaces, forming intimate interfaces and uniform dispersions in the composites. The shielding sponge exhibits high X-ray attenuation. Coin-shaped PDMS/S-WO/BiI demonstrated 90.2 % X-ray shielding efficiency at 60 kV, a top value for non-heavy-metal shields. This study investigates the development and characterization of PDMS/S-WO/BiI composite materials aimed at enhancing X-ray shielding effectiveness. The composite leverages the high atomic number and density of S-WO and BiI to improve X-ray attenuation, while the flexibility and chemical stability of PDMS provide mechanical robustness and ease of fabrication. Through a series of experimental evaluations, we demonstrate that the PDMS/S-WO/BiI composite exhibits superior X-ray shielding capabilities compared to conventional materials. This work demonstrates significant progress in flexible, high-performance X-ray shielding. The approach provides a foundation for developing lightweight, radiation-protective materials using doped metal oxides and halide salts.","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141931198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the synthesis of Li-X zeolites requires an excessive amount of Li for ion exchange, and Li-X zeolites are vulnerable to humid conditions because of their high affinity for water vapor. To solve these problems, a ZSM-5 zeolite exchanged with both Cu and Li (CuLi-ZSM-5) was developed for N adsorption. CuLi-ZSM-5 achieved a high Li content (Li/Al =0.84) despite the use of a smaller amount of Li in its ion-exchange procedure and exhibited higher N uptake (0.81 mmol/g) at 298 K than the Li-X zeolite (0.69 mmol/g). This is possibly because the Li in CuLi-ZSM-5 is effectively distributed at sites accessible for N adsorption. In addition, CuLi-ZSM-5 had higher N/O selectivity in the low-pressure range and a much lower affinity for water vapor than the Li-X zeolite, resulting in significantly lower HO/N selectivity. CuLi-ZSM-5 has the potential to be a new economical N-selective adsorbent with low interference from water vapor.","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the effect of structural changes in the main body of porous aluminium anode on the electrochemical performance under the constraints of the 3D printing process using both simulation and experimental methods. By analysing the simulation results under the constraint of 3D printing process, we found that the variation of the base fillet radius affects the dimensional deviation of the porous aluminium anode. As the radius of the fillet increases, the degree of warpage deformation gradually decreases. For this reason, we experimentally verified the self-corrosion rate, electrochemical and discharge properties of aluminium anodes under the same process parameters. The test results are consistent with the simulation analysis. With the increase of fillet radius, the self-corrosion rate of anode gradually decreases and the electrochemical activity gradually increases. Meanwhile, the discharge voltage was as low as 1.55 V in the periphery without rounded corners, and increased by 1.3 % and 3.2 % when the periphery radius was 1 mm and 2 mm, respectively.

A basic investigation on the interactions between extractants and hexafluorophosphate was firstly carried out using density functional theory (DFT), which demonstrated the stability of the extracted complex structure. The effects of extractant (Alamine336) and modifier, common anions and metallic ions in waste-streams, initial pH, and temperature on the extraction efficiency were explored. The results showed that 96.16 % of hexafluorophosphate could be extracted and transferred into organic phase using Alamine336/modifier as extractant under optimal conditions (0.15 mol/L of Alamine336 and 0.25 mol/L of modifier). The organic phase exhibited an excellent extraction capability of >95 % under optimal condition. Moreover, it was found that the use of sodium hydroxide as stripping reagent presented a superb stripping and cycling properties.
