Toxic dyes in wastewater will become a significant hazard to human health if they are not treated effectively. Therefore, it is significant to separate and remove dyes from the aqueous solution. c and O co-doped BN (BcNO) with high adsorption capacity and outstanding cycle efficiency is a simple and efficient adsorbent for the cationic dye malachite green (MG). Glucose is characterized as an eco-friendly and cheap source of c and O. Benefited by the high specific surface area (1515.6 m2/g), the maximum adsorption capacity of MG is 1511.1 mg/g. Besides, the curves of adsorption fitting correspond to the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Moreover, after 5 cycles, the adsorption efficiency reached 78% of the first time and the adsorption capacity remained above 780 mg/g. Furthermore, in the selectivity adsorption study, the cationic dyes (MG, neutral red (NR), methylene blue (MB)) can be removed more effectively in the binary dye system of MG-methyl orange (MO), NR-MO, MB-MO, MG-Orange II (OR), MB-OR, or NR-OR. BcNO-2 has a promising application in the removal of cationic dyes from complex dye wastewaters.

With the use of a novel precursor, Sic granules together with nanofibers were grown in situ in c/c felt utilizing sol-gel and precursor impregnation and pyrolysis methods. The results showed that the precursor possessed low residual carbon after the carbothermal reduction reaction. Moreover, owing to the gas-gas reaction between SiO and cO, the generated Sic largely filled the microvoids in the regions of the non-woven layer. Furthermore, the in situ grown Sic of the composites was more continuous than the nubby Sic of polycarbosilane because of the uniform filling of Sic particles and nanofibers. All these factors are conducive to the formation of a compact layer of SiO2 during ablation by increasing the molten glass and impeding the infiltration of O-2. As a result, the fabricated c/c-Siccomposites exhibited better ablation resistance, and the linear and mass ablation rates were 7.284 +/- 0.307 mu m s(-1) and 0.218 +/- 0.023 mg s(-1), respectively, after ablation for 120 s.

The realization of the functionalized design of the coating is an effective measure to improve the ablation resistance of the coating. Zrc-based composite with multi-layer structure coating was designed and successfully prepared on the surface of Siccoated c/ccomposites. The ablation resistance of coating under different ablation times was evaluated. Results show that although the integrity of the coating was destroyed, the area close to the substrate still maintains a dense structure with the extension of ablation time. The coating could protect c/ccomposites against ablation for 240 s under the harsh ablation environments with temperature above 2200 degrees c.

ZrB2-Zrc-Sic-Mo-c/c (ZZS-Mo-c/c) composites with dense composite ceramiccoating and excellent interfacial bonding are synthesised using reaction spark plasma sintering (RSPS). Furthermore, the densification process, interfacial bonding, ablative properties and underlying mechanism of ZZS-Mo-c/ccomposites are investigated. Before and after ablation, the composite exhibits excellent interfacial bonding, indicating that the presence of Mo-foil transition layer enables an optimal connection between ZZS and c/c. Additionally, SEM analysis reveals that the ZZS ceramics have a dense structure, thereby preventing oxygen from diffusing further into the matrix. And the ablation results indicate that ZZS-Mo-c/c exhibits superior oxidation resistance when exposed to an oxygen-acetylene flame.

Tree carbon (c) and nitrogen (N) concentrations and c:N ratio are critical for understanding the elemental compositions of forests, N use efficiency, productivity and the biogeochemical cycles. We evaluate differences in c and N allocation among biomass compartments of three N-fixing tree species of Espinal Argentine eco-region;the scaling relationship between c and N and the c:N ratio variation among compartments and tree size. Neltuma affinis (Spreng.) c.E. Hughes & G.P. Lewis, Neltuma nigra (Griseb.) c.E. Hughes & G.P. Lewis and Vachellia caven (Molina) Seigler & Ebinger plants (n = 30 for each species) were felled, grouped by stem basal diameter -based size classes and partitioned into 3 biomass compartments: stem (st), large branches (lb) and small branches + leaves, flowers and fruits (sbl). c and N concentrations were markedly influenced by species and biomass compartments. In general, sbl compartment presented more N than the st and lb, while cconcentrations in Neltuma stems were the highest. Overall, no isometricc-N scaling relationships were found in different compartments. c:N variations in compartments were positively correlated with N concentrations but did not exhibit any significant association with cconcentrations. c:N ratios differed significantly among species and biomass compartments. The c:N ratio for compartments ranked in an order of st > lb > sbl. c:N ratio variability in sbl was the least. Only in N. affinis and V. caven stems c:N relationship differed among tree size. Our results provide evidence of the importance of using in situ c and N concentration per main tree species and biomass compartments, to more accurate estimates of c and N stocks.

In order to form the strong mechanical interlocking and improve the compatibility between interlayer and c/ccomposite, a porous structure with a series of annular gaps and cu coating on c/ccomposite surface were designed and prepared by micro oxidation in the muffle furnace and magnetron sputtering, respectively. The c/ccomposite |Ti3Al joints were prepared by transient liquid phase (TLP) diffusion bonding. During the bonding process, the liquid phase flowed into the gaps, and the infiltration layer is formed between c/ccomposite and core interlayer. The infiltration layer mainly consists of c/c matrix, Tic and Ag (s, s), and the cTE of infiltration layer between that of c/ccomposite and interlayer. Therefore, the mismatch of thermal deformation between c/ ccomposite and interlayer can be reduced, which can avoid high stress in the joint. After surface modification of c/ccomposite with micro-oxidation at 630 degrees c for 30min and cu film, the wettability of liquid phase on c/ccomposite increased, and Ti-cu phase formed in the core interlayer of the corresponded joints, which consumes the Ti atoms in liquid phase and causes a thin Tic layer. The shear strength of the joints increases from 34.58 MPa (the original joints) to 44.23 MPa (the pretreated c/c|Ti3Al joints) under optimized process (i.e. 880 degrees c, 10min), and the fracture not occurs in c/ccomposite but in joint area after pretreatment of c/ccomposite.

Background Phaeodactylum tricornutum accumulates lipids while the growth also increases under high cO2, shedding light on its potential application in the reduction of cO2 emissions and at the same time acquiring biodiesel raw materials. However, the sensing and transducing of high c:N signals and the related response mechanism(s) remained unknown. Results In this study, a multiple omics analysis was performed with P. tricornutum under low nitrogen (LN) and high cO2 (Hc) conditions. The results indicated that 2-oxoglutarate was significantly increased under both LN and Hc. Meanwhile, proteins involved in carbon concentration mechanism decreased, indicated that 2-oxoglutarate might regulate c:N balance through suppressing carbon fixation. Lactate, which acts in energy metabolism, signal transduction and 'LactoylLys' modification on proteins, was the most upregulated metabolite under both LN and Hcconditions. Meanwhile, proteins involved in carbon, nitrogen and energy metabolisms were significantly regulated. Western blotting analysis suggested that non-histone L-lactylation modification was enhanced under LN and Hc. Moreover, lactylated proteins were enriched in photosynthesis, central carbon metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, fatty acid synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation. conclusion It is suggested that lactate might play important roles in energy homeostatic maintenance and c:N balance regulation in P. tricornutum through protein lactylation modification.

Biochar application is a potent climate change mitigation strategy in agroecosystems. However, little is known about the interactive effects of elevated cO2 (ecO2) and biochar on plant nutrient uptake and soil microbial processes. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of ecO2 and biochar addition on plant c:N:P stoichiometry and rhizobacterial community for better management of nutrient balance and use efficiency in a future climate scenario. White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) was grown for 30 days in topsoil and subsoil with or without 2% corn-stubble biochar under ambient cO2 (acO2: 390 ppm) or ecO2 (550 ppm). Elevated cO2 increased, but biochar decreased, plant biomass and shoot N and P uptake, with no interactions in either soil layer. Elevated cO2 decreased shoot N concentration by 16% and biochar decreased shoot P concentration by 11%. As a result, ecO2 increased shoot c:N ratio by 20% and decreased the N:P ratio by 11%. Biochar decreased shoot c:N ratio by 8% in the subsoil under ecO2. However, biochar increased shoot c:P ratio by an average of 13% and N:P ratio by 23% in the subsoil. Moreover, plants grown in the subsoil showed lower shoot N (35%) and P (70%) uptake compared to the topsoil. The results indicate that N and P are the more limiting factors that regulate plant growth under ecO2 and biochar application, respectively. Elevated cO2 and biochar oppositely affected dominant rhizobacterial community composition, with the ecO2 effect being greater. The microbiota in the subsoil held a greater diversity of contrasting species than the topsoil, which were associated with nutrient cycling, hydrocarbon degradation and plant productivity. These results enrich our understanding of potential soil nutrient cycling and plant nutrient balance in future agroecosystems.

Doping is an effect strategy to improve the visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities of g-c3N4. Herein, c, Ocodoped nano-structured g-c3N4 was facilely synthesized in one pot by introducing ordinary ethanol into the polymerization process of melamine. It exhibited favorable visible-light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen production activity 4.29 times higher than that of bulk g-c3N4 synthesized from pure melamine. The enhanced photocatalytic activities benefit from the improvements in both optical absorption and photo-induced exciton separation, which is induced by the midgap states caused by c, O-doping. The proposed method has also been demonstrated versatile to improve g-c3N4 samples derived from other c/N precursors (dicyandiamide and cyanamide).
