Soil-bentonite backfills are widely used as vertical barriers in contaminated sites, yet their long-term containment performance against diesel is strongly influenced by the pore structure and the resultant capillary resistance. This study evaluated the diesel retention capacity of sand-bentonite (S_dB) versus silt-bentonite (S_tB) through long-term flexible-wall permeation tests under incremental permeation pressures (10, 20, and 30 kPa). Diesel breakthrough behavior and capillary entry pressure threshold were analyzed. The underlying mechanisms were further elucidated. The results revealed three key findings: (1) S_tB exhibited excellent retardation capacity under all tested pressures (10-30 kPa), maintaining extremely low daily flow rates (< 0.5 mL/d). In contrast, S_dB experienced rapid diesel breakthrough at 20 and 30 kPa, with daily flow rates exceeding 25 mL/d within a short period; (2) The capillary entry pressure threshold of S_dB was less than 10 kPa, while that of S_tB ranged from 20 to 30 kPa, indicating a significantly higher capillary resistance for S_tB; (3) S_tB had much finer pores concentrated at 0.05-0.39 μm (0.28-2.13 μm for S_dB), corresponding to the denser pore structure. Consistent with the Young-Laplace equation, smaller pore throats produced higher capillary entry pressures. Consequently, S_tB had higher capillary entry pressure and superior long-term diesel containment.

PLA surfaces developed hydrolysis‑induced cracks and fragmentation, whereas PVC showed oxidative roughening. These aging patterns were associated with divergent functional potential of plastisphere microbial communities. PLA‑associated soils had higher β-glucosidase and peroxidase activities, together with a trend toward higher labile carbon (FPOC) indicators than PVC‑associated soils. Mineral‑associated organic carbon (MAOC) did not differ between treatments, but MAOC proportion was negatively correlated with bulk density only under PLA. Because our study lacked an unamended control, our conclusions are limited to PLA-PVC comparisons.

CpLCut1 and CpLCut2 possessed significant ability to hydrolyze PU into adipic acid by ester bond cleavage. Notably, CpLCut2 exhibited remarkable thermal stability, retaining 93% of its initial activity after incubation at 55 °C for 12 h, which could be attributed to the enhanced conformational stability and more persistent enzyme-substrate interactions from molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular docking, along with product distribution, elucidated a special substrate-binding mode of CpLCut1 and CpLCut2 with a plastic substrate analogue.

Herein, we proposed an upcycling process to convert them into Mn-based Fenton-like catalysts (MnNiCoO_x-LIBs) for efficient emerging contaminants removal by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Co-doping with strong-electronegativity Ni/Co from spent ternary Mn-rich LIBs enlarges Mn-O covalency in MnNiCoO_x-LIBs, strengthening PMS adsorption and breaking the thermodynamic limitation of Mn(IV)/Mn(III) redox cycling by PMS.

It exhibits excellent anti-interference ability, long-term stability (over 800 min), and universality for multiple emerging contaminants. Life cycle assessment confirms that MnNiCoO_x-LIBs shows superior environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
