In this study, 3D printing technology was employed to construct a monolithic catalyst based on ZSM-5 with a direct ink writing (DIW) method. The performance of CO<sub>2</sub> desorption from amine solution was studied in a continuous bubbling reactor at mild temperatures (<100 °C). The physicochemical properties of the ink for 3D-printing were analyzed using XRD, NH<sub>3</sub>-TPD, BET, and N<sub>2</sub> isothermal adsorption–desorption to single out the optimal preparation method. A computer vision method was established to investigate the formation of CO<sub>2</sub> bubbles on the surface of the 3D-printed catalyst and their evolution in the liquid bulk. The results show that the ink for 3D-printed catalysts based on ZSM-5 with a low Si/Al ratio provided more surface mesopores and active sites, leading to an increase of 46.0 %∼121.6 % in the maximum CO<sub>2</sub> desorption rate and 16.3 %∼36.0 % in the CO<sub>2</sub> desorption capacity, compared to the blank amine solution. A lower sintering temperature is conducive to retaining the active sites on the catalyst surface, thereby effectively enhancing the kinetics of CO<sub>2</sub> desorption. The optimal Si/Al ratio and sintering temperature for the ink of 3D-printed catalysts were 25 and 550 °C, respectively, which can reduce the CO<sub>2</sub> desorption energy by 26.5 %. And the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> desorption amount for various ZSM-5 based inks did not exceed 6.0 % after multiple cyclic testing. The 3D-printed ZSM-5 monolithic catalysts increased the total CO<sub>2</sub> amount by 54.8 % at most compared to blank absorbents, because the grille configurations provided more specific surface area to promote the deprotonation of MEAH<sup>+</sup> and the decomposition of MEACOO<sup>-</sup>. Meanwhile, the larger pore structure of the 3D-printed channels facilitated the diffusion of desorbed CO<sub>2</sub> into the liquid phase. Compared to the “Square channel”, the “Diamond channel” with a lower surface Gibbs free energy enhanced the precipitation of CO<sub>2</sub> on the catalyst surface and the coalescence of CO<sub>2</sub> bubbles in the liquid phase, accelerating the desorption of CO<sub>2</sub> from amine solution at mild temperature. This study provides an effective approach for developing low-cost, high-performance catalysts by 3D-printing technology for CO<sub>2</sub> desorption from amine solutions.","PeriodicalId":427,"journal":{"name":"Separation and Purification Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142866991","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}

In this study, a Z-Scheme photocatalyst BN/BiOI was developed and evaluated for its efficacy in photodegrading PFOS. Notably, after 2 h of reaction, 100 % removal of PFOS (k<sub>obs</sub> = 1.278 h<sup>−1</sup>) was achieved, alongside a 100 % desulfurization rate and a 45.40 % defluorination rate after 6 h. Comparing the BN/BiOI system to BN, the remarkable enhancement observed in BN/BiOI heterojunction can be attributed primarily to the efficient separation and reduced recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes.

The proposed mechanism for photocatalytic PFOS degradation by the BN/BiOI system underscores the initial breaking of the C-S bond.

In response, this study introduces an integrated approach that combines membrane separation with a photocatalytic process to tackle the removal of nanoplastics from water. Membrane processes effectively concentrated polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs), thereby decreasing the volume of wastewater requiring photocatalytic treatment. The nanofiltration process achieved a 100 % rejection of the nanoplastics, increasing their concentration from 2 mg/L to 100 mg/L and reducing the wastewater volume with a volume reduction factor (VRF) of 44.25. In addition, a low impact on membrane fouling was observed, with an almost complete restoration of the initial membrane performance (98 %) after a washing with water. This indicates the formation of reversible fouling, identified by Hermia’s models as a mechanism of cake layer formation.Photocatalytic degradation of concentrated wastewater using semiconductor photocatalysts titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) was conducted to evaluate the performance of the integrated system under varying operating conditions, including NPs concentration and photocatalyst dosage. The results showed the mineralization of 10 mg/L of PS NPs after 24 h, using 1 g/L of TiO<sub>2</sub> under UV light in water as solvent under atmospheric air, confirmed by total organic carbon (TOC) and py-GC/MS analyses. In addition, experimental results at shorter reaction time demonstrate the capability of the photocatalytic system to chemically transform PS into valuable intermediates. This highlights the potential of photocatalysis as a sustainable approach for addressing plastic pollution while creating opportunities for recycling plastic waste into useful products. This study demonstrates a promising system that combines recovery and degradation into a single, optimized step, paving the way for application in the tertiary treatment stage of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).","PeriodicalId":427,"journal":{"name":"Separation and Purification Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867247","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}

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations was used to study the MW-ARE extraction process by accurately modeling the flow and mixing behaviors of DES during MW extraction, as well as the heat and mass transfer within the system. The DES enriched with ARE was thoroughly tested for their antifungal and anti-oomycete activity against <em>Botrytis cinerea</em> and <em>Phytophthora cinnamomi</em>, respectively, taking advantage of the high antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of ARE. Additionally, the remaining colorless fraction of <em>P. carotinifaciens</em> left after MW-ARE extraction was repurposed as a biofertilizer to enhance the growth of lettuce plants (<em>Lactuca sativa</em> L.). This comprehensive study provides a valuable insight into the mechanisms of ARE recovery using MW-assisted extraction and lay the groundwork for a robust, efficient, and sustainable biorefinery model that minimizes waste and maximizes the use of bacterial biomass, aligning with the principles of a circular economy, to elevate product quality and promote sustainable agricultural practices.","PeriodicalId":427,"journal":{"name":"Separation and Purification Technology","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142866990","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}
