In this study, a novel green deep eutectic solvent (DES) produced by complexing of FeCl 3 and urea was adopted for the first time to assist the facile and efficient preparation of nitrogen-doped magnetic biochar (NMBC) by using peanut shell (PS) as raw stock. The results indicated that FeCl 3 /urea-based DES could act as fine iron and nitrogen sources in the formation of NMBC, and moreover, catalyzed the pyrolysis process and promoted the pore development. The synthesized NMBC could capture Cr(VI) by both physisorption and chemisorption, including pore-filling, electrostatic attraction, ion-exchange, reduction and surface complexation, with removal capacity for Cr(VI) outperforming that of many other reported materials. The present study provides a new idea for the facile and efficient magnetization as well as nitrogen-doping decoration of biochar for Cr(VI) decontamination from water.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81787204","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 explore the mechanism this phenomenon, we numerically simulated the ionization processes in single- and multi-bubble sonoluminescence in aqueous solution of terbium chloride (TbCl$_{3}$). The results show that the maximum degree of ionization of single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) is approximately 10000 times greater than that of MBSL under certain special physical parameters. The hydrated electrons (e$_{texttt{aq}}^{-}$) formed in SBSL are far greater than those in MBSL provided these electrons are ejected from a bubble into a liquid. Therefore, the quenching of e$_{texttt{aq}}^{-}$ to SBSL spectrum is stronger than that of the MBSL spectrum. This may be the reason that the trivalent terbium [Tb(III)] ion line intensities from SBSL in the TbCl$_{3}$ aqueous solutions with the acceptor of e$_{texttt{aq}}^{-}$ are stronger than those of TbCl$_{3}$ aqueous solutions without the acceptor of e$_{texttt{aq}}^{-}$, whereas the Tb(III) ion line intensities from MBSL are not variational, which is significant for exploring the mechanism behind the cavitation and sonoluminescence.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80350327","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}

Microbubbles offer a more eco-friendly technology for interface cleaning. Here, we explored the efficiency of microbubbles for cleaning oil from metal surfaces. Air microbubbles at concentrations as high as 106 particles/mL were generated by hydrodynamic cavitation. Under optimal conditions, cleaning efficiencies for the removal of oil from carbon-steel and stainless-steel surfaces were 78.5 and 49.8% after 15 min, respectively, compared to only 6.5 and 9.9% without microbubbles. Additionally, combining microbubble treatment with the ultrasonic method achieved a higher efficiency than ultrasonic cleaning alone, achieving an efficiency of 85.5% after 3 min compared to 69.0%. The mechanism of microbubble cleaning was determined using a fluorescence observation system, and a model was established to describe the cleaning process. The use of microbubbles produced less emulsified oil wastewater because the oil that attaches to the microbubble surface floats with the bubbles to the surface of the cleaning water, where it can be removed, allowing for water recycling. This novel microbubble cleaning technology, which both enhances cleaning efficiency and reduces wastewater production, represents a viable and eco-friendly option for degreasing processes.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79653708","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}

The results revealed an efficient association of complexes 1S and 1R with CT-DNA, tRNA and HSA essentially sustained by non-covalent interactions which were evidenced from Kb and Ksv values. The binding constant values revealed 10-fold greater binding affinity of complexes with tRNA and HSA as compared to CT-DNA; the binding affinity was found in the order tRNA > HSA > CT-DNA. S-enantiomeric complex 1S exhibited higher binding propensity over its R-analog 1R with all three macromolecules. In silico molecular modeling and Hirshfeld studies corroborated well with the spectroscopic results and validated the interaction of complexes 1S and 1R with the biomolecules via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and van der Waal interactions.

The use of direct concentrating solar thermal treatment, as opposed to fossil fuel based thermal treatment, reduces the CO2 emissions associated with thermal treatment of manganese ores greatly and could open new processing opportunities when scaled up. The application of direct concentrating solar thermal treatment of manganese ores is compared to other thermal treatment methods. The evaluation is based on the results of exploratory on-sun experiments conducted in 2019. Pellets prepared from manganese ores, bentonite binder and charcoal were treated with concentrating solar radiation. The solar treated samples were analyzed to determine changes to their mineralogy with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the solar treated pellets were tested to determine their compressive strength. The pellets did not pass the strength requirement of 500 N/pellet to qualify as feed for submerged arc furnaces. Results from these experiments were then further compared with other thermal treatments of manganese ores such as calcination, nodulizing, pelletizing, sintering and reductive roasting to evaluate the feasibility of applying concentrating solar thermal treatment in these treatment options. The direct concentrating solar thermal treatment was found to strengthen manganese pellets sufficiently to be considered dried and preheated for pelletizing but not cured. Temperatures were achieved suitable for calcination or reductive roasting of manganese ores, where agglomeration is not required.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90210353","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}

Exposure assessment with respect to respirable particles and “total dust” have been demanded from the authorities for years. Recently the focus has widened and exposure assessment focusing on ultrafine particles is in demand. In this study, ultrafine particles are studied in a ferrosilicon smelter. In order to understand the prevalence of ultrafine particles in the workplace environment, five different locations in the production hall were selected and the number concentration and the particle size distributions were investigated by use of stationary instruments. The worker attendance at each location was logged, so that the exposure at each location could be evaluated in accordance to attendance time. Number concentrations for the time periods where workers were present could be calculated. The locations selected were: tapping area, casting area, ladle transport corridor, control room and electrode-weld-on”. The measurement equipment used was a Nanoscan SMPS from TSI, measuring the particle size range 10-420 nm. The dominating size in the tapping areas is 205.4 nm for both furnaces and one SAF has an additional peak is at 11.5-15.4 nm. In the ladle transport area, the dominating particle sizes are 15.4 nm, 27.4 nm and 154 nm. The casting area has a bimodal size distribution and the two peaks are at 15,4 nm and 154 nm. The electrode welding area is very different from the other areas investigated here. The concentrations are significantly higher and the dominating size is 205.4 nm, but with substantial increased contributions in the range 86-365 nm. This paper discusses the findings and explores possible explanations behind the particle size distributions with support in the literature. Different dust and fume sources present in a smelter are discussed.","PeriodicalId":9858,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering (Engineering) eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84836817","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}
