Among the methods for addressing this issue, the combination of electrokinetic remediation and permeable reactive barrier (EKR-PRB) is particularly effective in low-permeability soils. This approach stands out due to its scalability, environmental benefits, cost-efficiency, and flexibility in application. The efficacy of EKR-PRB is significantly influenced by the choice of reactive materials. This paper provided beneficial insights into EKR-PRB, highlighting their fundamental mechanisms, definitions, and principles. It also comprehensively reviewed reactive materials such as activated carbon (AC), zeolite, zero-valent iron (ZVI), nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), and novel materials, exploring the limitations and challenges associated with these materials. This research focused on evaluating the effectiveness of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) by analyzing their durability, mechanisms of contaminant removal, and structural design within the context of electrokinetic remediation (EKR). Five installation configurations were assessed to determine optimal placement for different pollutant types, with specific setups enhancing removal efficiency significantly. Cost and scalability were analyzed further, revealing that while EKR-PRB are promising for various low-permeability soils, challenges in engineering applications remain due to soil heterogeneity, changes in pH, and limited electroosmotic flow. Enhanced removal efficiency and cost reduction potential highlight EKR-PRB as a viable remediation approach, though further research is necessary for large-scale applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100774"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144089089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the model, the possibility of recycling SAB and PVC by thermally treating their mixture followed by water leaching is reported. Results suggest that the thermal treatment of washed SAB (WSAB) with PVC at 300 ⁰C and under oxidative conditions promotes the selective chlorination of zinc over iron and manganese (leaving them in their respective oxide forms Fe₂O₃ and MnO₂). Simulations also revealed that performing water leaching of the thermally processed residue should be performed in the pH range 2–6 to dissolve zinc selectively while keeping both iron and manganese in their solid phase. Hence, to achieve high extraction selectivity towards zinc, SAB should first be water washed to dissolve sodium and potassium hydroxides. The product from water washing is then thermally treated with PVC (300 ⁰C with oxygen molar ratio above 1). The thermal treatment residue should then be water leached in the pH window 2–6.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100769"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144068510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To verify these theories, statistical and block copolymers with various compositions (0, 30, 50, 70, 100 mol.%) of acryloyl pyrrolidine (APy) with acryloyl piperidine (APi) were synthesized and sI methane hydrate growth kinetics were measured at 2 °C and 4646 kPa.

Poly(APi) with bigger amide rings and lower CPT acted as a poorer KHI than the more hydrophilic poly(APy). The statistical copolymers with a wide range of CPTs from 4 to 48 °C showed that KHI performance was not influenced by CPT, as the sI hydrate growth rate exhibited a nearly linear relationship with respect to copolymer composition. On the other hand, results of block copolymers suggest that the thermoresponsive behavior of these surfactant-like additives might play a role during hydrate growth inhibition. The block copolymer with 30 mol.% APi acted as the best KHI amongst all tested samples, while the block copolymer with 70 mol.% APi acted as the poorest. The results were significantly different from the statistical copolymers with similar composition; thus, copolymer microstructure is also a factor to consider during KHI design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100770"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates Fenton oxidation for selectively degrading endogenous organic metabolites in acidified, unhydrolysed urine while preserving critical nutrients such as urea. Using targeted metabolomics, over 200 organic metabolites were identified in urine, with creatinine, citric acid, hippuric acid, and methylhistidine comprising half of the total organic metabolite load (ΣOMs = 3.23 g L⁻¹). Under optimised conditions (pH 4.0, 1:1 Fe²⁺: H₂O₂ molar ratio), 59 % of ΣOMs were degraded in unconcentrated urine treated with 1 g H₂O₂ L⁻¹. Increasing the H₂O₂ dose in unconcentrated urine, or treating concentrated urine obtained through evaporative water removal, resulted in higher ΣOMs degradation but also increased urea oxidation, highlighting a trade-off between efficient COD removal and nutrient recovery. COD removal was 38 % at pH 4.0 and 27 % at pH 6.0, suggesting that Fenton oxidation could be applied to H₂O₂ stabilised urine without strict pH adjustment. Real urine differed significantly from synthetic urine, requiring five times more Fe²⁺ catalyst for complete H₂O₂ activation, with peroxide consumption occurring within five minutes compared to two hours in synthetic urine. Organic compounds in urine scavenged Fe³⁺, forming iron-organic complexes that disrupted Fe²⁺ regeneration and contributed to iron precipitation at higher pH values. These findings demonstrate that Fenton oxidation can be optimised to achieve selective degradation of undesirable organics while preserving plant-essential nutrients in urine collected within resource-oriented sanitation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100772"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144124860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the anti-dripping performance of PC is poor and the PC is prone to producing molten droplets during the burning process, which can cause the spread of fire. This drawback severely limits the application range of PC. Owing to its excellent fiber forming ability, thermal stability and chemical stability, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) could be applied as a kind of anti-dripping agent in the production of thermoplastic resins. In this work, a kind of novel fluorinated acrylate coated PTFE composite anti-dripping agent (PTFE@PFAC particle) was successfully prepared with the PTFE as the core layer and methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, and fluorinated acrylate as the shell layer. The diameter of the PTFE@PFAC particle is in the range of 200–250 nm. After melt blending with PC, PC/PTFE@PFAC composite was successfully prepared. It is found that the addition of a certain amount of PTFE@PFAC particles has little influence on the processability, transparency, crystallinity, tensile strength and thermal stability of PC/PTFE@PFAC composites. Surprisingly, the addition of a small amount of PTFE@PFAC (0.5 wt %) can significantly improves the anti-dripping and flame retardance properties of the composite, which was reflected in the extension of anti-dripping time, the increase of ultimate oxygen index, the significant reduction of heat release rate and the total smoke production.

As part of this scale-up, research is required on millimeter-scale reactors to assess their bio-performance and potential limitations. Here, we present the first study of a pillar-structured milli-reactor. We studied this in-flow bioreactor with immobilized nitrilase and numerically characterized it by CFD modeling.

These promising performance results and the model validation were then used in a numerical study to determine how the reactor’s performance could be optimized. Under strict laminar conditions, strategies like increasing the surface-to-volume ratio or distribution of the enzyme all over the developed reactor surfaces are the main characteristics contributing to conversion improvement.
