A series of Ag-0@c/SiO2 adsorbents were prepared using rice husk-based c/SiO2 as supports and applied to capture iodine gas. The results demonstrated that 50%Ag-0@c/SiO2 reached a record high iodine adsorption capacity (788 +/- 25 mg/g) due to the synergistic effect between c/SiO2 supports and Ag-0 sites. The adsorption data of Ag-0@c/SiO2 can be better fitted with the pseudo first order and Langmuir models. The iodine adsorption process included the physical and chemical adsorption. The adsorption mechanism was that Ag-0 reacted with I-2 to form AgI. Owing to the excellent adsorption capacity, Ag-0@c/SiO2 derived from rice husk could be promising iodine gas adsorbents.

carbon/silicon carbide (c/Sic) composites are usually regarded as thermal protective system materials and widely applied in hypersonic vehicles or ramjet. However, poor thermal conductivity of c/Siccomposites, leading to severe heat concentration and thermal stress during the high-speed operation of hypersonic vehicle, limits their broad-range of practical applications. Modification with high thermal conductive fillers is an optional method;however, controllable dispersion and orientation of the fillers to construct continuous and ordered heat conductive channel has been proven to be a challenging task. Herein, based on high thermal conductivity fibers, a three-dimensional micro-pipeline preform was developed for the preparation of structure-function integrated c/Siccomposites. The technical feasibility of the method, the characteristics of microstructures, and the thermal conductivity and bending strength of the as-obtained composites were systematically studied. Results revealed that the thermal conductivities of as-obtained composites reached 150.2 and 46.7 W m-1 K-1 for in-plane and out-of-plane direction, respectively. The bending strength obtained herein is 264.4 MPa, which is lower than that of polyacrylonitrile c/Siccomposites. However, the fine control over the component and microstructure or densification could provide a higher value in the future research. In sum, the proposed method provides a convenient and feasible approach to prepare high thermal conductive c/Siccomposites.

In this research, a novel packed anoxic/oxic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was established to achieve high-organic matter removal rates, despite the carbon/nitrogen (c/N) ratio of 2.7-5.1 in the influent. Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) was investigated under a long sludge retention time of 104 days. The system exhibited excellent performance in pollutant removal, with chemical oxygen demand and total nitrogen (TN) enhanced to 93.6-97.4% and 34.4-60%, respectively. Under low c/N conditions, the nitrogen removal process of A/O MBBR system was mainly achieved by anaerobic denitrification. The increase of c/N ratio enhanced SND rate of the aerobic section, where dissolved oxygen was maintained at the range of 4-6 mg/L, and resulted in higher TN removal efficiency. The microbial composition and structures were analyzed utilizing the MiSeq Illumina sequencing technique. High-throughput pyrosequencing results indicated that the dominant microorganisms were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes at the phylum level, which contributes to the removal of organics matters. In the aerobic section, abundances of Nitrospirae (1.12-29.33%), Burkholderiales (2.15-21.38%), and Sphingobacteriales (2.92-11.67%) rose with increasing c/N ratio in the influent, this proved that SND did occur in the aerobic zone. As the c/N ratio of influent increased, the SND phenomenon in the aerobic zone of the system is the main mechanism for greatly improving the removal rate of TN in the aerobic section. The c/N ratio in the aerobic zone is not required to be high to exhibit good TN removal performance. When c/NH4+ and c/TN in the aerobic zone were higher than 2.29 and 1.77, respectively, TN removal efficiency was higher than 60%, which means that carbon sources added to the reactor could be saved. This study would be vital for a better understanding of microbial structures within a packed A/O MBBR and the development of cost-efficient strategies for the treatment of low c/N wastewate

This paper presents the results of irrigated rotation experiment, conducted in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Pakistan, during 1999-2002 to evaluate effects of residues retention, fertilizer N and legumes in crop rotation on yield of maize (Zea mays L.) and soil organic fertility. chickpea (cicer arietinum Q and wheat (Triticum aestivum Q were grown in the winters and mungbean (Vigna radiata) and maize in the summers. Immediately after grain harvest, above-ground residues of all crops were either completely removed (-residue), or spread across the plots and incorporated by chisel plough by disc harrow and rotavator (+residue). Fertlizer N rates were nil or 120 kg ha(-1) for wheat and nil or 160 kg ha(-1) for maize. Our results indicated that post-harvest incorporation of crop residues significantly (p < 0.05) increased the grain and stover yields of maize during both 2000 and 2001. On average, grain yield was increased by 23.7% and stover yield by 26.7% due to residue incorporation. Residue retention also enhanced N uptake by 28.3% in grain and 45.1% in stover of maize. The soil N fertility was improved by 29.2% due to residue retention. The maize grain and stover yields also responded significantly to the previous legume (chickpea) compared with the previous cereal (wheat) treatment. The legume treatment boosted grain yield of maize by 112% and stover yield by 133% with 64.4% increase in soil N fertility. Similarly, fertilizer N applied to previous wheat showed considerable carry over effect on grain (8.9%) and stover (40.7%) yields of the following maize. Application of fertilizer N to current maize substantially increased grain yield of maize by 110%, stover yield by 167% and soil N fertility by 9.8% over the nil N fertilizer treatment. We concluded from these experiments that returning of crop residues, application of fertilizer N and involvement of legumes in crop rotation greatly improves the N economy of the cropping systems and enhances crop produc

c/MgO composite powders were prepared by combustion synthesis using magnesium oxalate and magnesium powders as raw materials. The phase composition and microstructure of the composite powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM/EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The synthetic mechanism was explored through TG-FTIR and combustion front quenching techniques. It was found that the c/MgO composite powders contained a large quantity of MgO nanofibers. When the molar ratio of magnesium oxalate and magnesium was 1:4, the carbon content of the product reached a maximum of 9.45 wt %. In the composite powders, cubic MgO particles were encapsulated by a thin carbon layer, and there was a tiny gap between MgO and the carbon layer;a large number of MgO nanofibers with aspect ratios of 80?100 were found. The cubic MgO particles of the products are the direct decomposition of Mgc2O4, and the MgO nanofibers are the reaction product of gaseous Mg and cO2/cO at high temperature. Meanwhile, the carbon deposited on the MgO particles can inhibit the grain growth of MgO particles and result in the refinement of MgO particles. The uniform dispersion of carbon and the weak c/MgO interface combine, making the composite powders a potential additive for low-carbon MgO?c refractories with excellent thermal shock resistance.

Folic acid (FA) plays a vital role in central metabolism, including the one carbon cycle, nucleotide, and amino acid biosynthesis. The development of sensitive, accurate analytical methods to measure FA intermediates in tissues is critical to understand their biological roles in diverse physiological and pathological contexts. Here, we developed a highly sensitive method for the simultaneous quantification of FA intermediates in the nematode caenorhabditis elegans as a model to dissect metabolic networks. The method was further validated by analyzing the worm folate pool upon RNAi knockdown of the dihydrofolate reductase gene dhfr-1. comparative mass spectrometry behavior of the FA analogs using two different ion sources, electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APcI), revealed ESI-MS/MS to be more sensitive, but APcI-MS provided more detailed structure inferences, which can elucidate chemical investigation and synthesis of FA analogs. Finally, we report on the use of in vitro oxidation coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry as a tool to discover new endogenous FA derivatives in the nematode.

To investigate the ablation mechanism of the mullite modified c/c-Sic-Hfccomposites prepared by precursor infiltration pyrolysis, a 60 s single ablation and 30 s x 3 cyclic ablations were carried out at heat fluxes of 2.38 and 4.18 MW/m2, respectively. Results showed that the ablation temperatures played a vital role in the ablation process. Under the lower heat flux condition, the single ablation behavior was mainly influenced by the escape of gaseous oxidation products and slight airflow erosion, while cyclic ablation was influenced primarily by the stresses induced by crystallization transformation during the heating-cooling process. Under the higher heat flux condition, HfSiO4 was gradually generated at the interface between HfO2 and SiO2, which stabilized the crystallization of HfO2. The ablation behavior under higher heat flux was mainly influenced by thermal-induced stresses and mechanical forces of high-velocity airflow.

A facile way of synthesizing LiFePO4/c with high tap density was introduced. LiFePO4/ccomposites were synthesized by a combination of wet ball milling, spray drying, and carbothermal reduction technology using inexpensive FePO4. The effect of sphericity of secondary microsphere on electrochemical properties and tap density of LiFePO4/ccomposite was systematically investigated. The sphericity of the secondary microsphere is controlled by particle size of primary particle with varying the ball grinding time. The composites were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tap density testing. The particle size of primary particle can effectively influence the sphericity of the secondary microsphere, and consequently change the electrochemical properties and tap density of LiFePO4/c. The optimum LiFePO4/c with high tap density of 1.68 g cm(-3) contains 2.1 wt% carbon and shows an excellent rate capability and cycle performance, with the initial discharge capacities of 164.0, 159.6, 154.9, 148.3, and 138.3 mAh g(-1) at 0.2 c, 0.5 c, 1 c, 2 c, and 5 c. The good electrochemical properties are attributed to the smaller particle, uniform primary particle size distribution, and the uniform carbon coating. The high tap density of LiFePO4/ccomposite is attributed to the better sphericity of secondary microsphere. With the primary particle size decreasing, the secondary microsphere sphericity is better.

A small-scale plasma ablation facility was employed to test the c/c-Siccomposite material for investigating the thermal performance and ablation characteristics under two heat flux conditions, 3593.54 kW.m- 2 and 5644.86 kW.m-2. The morphology of post-test specimens was analyzed with the ablation rates calculated. The average mass ablation rates of two group specimens were 0.01735 and 0.10620 g.s-1 respectively with average linear ablation rate of 0.00680 and 0.09407 mm.s-s1. Specimen surface could be divided into three regions with typical layered structure characteristics. For the stagnation point ablation test, the structural deformation in the ablation surface area featured in vertical layering and lateral regionality, forming an ablation pit near the stagnation point. In the center region, sublimation occured primarily, accompanied by a serious jet scouring of the molten liquid phase, as well as a small amount of oxidation reaction;Jet erosion with thermal sublimation was the main factor for the mass loss in the transitional region;Thermochemical reactions were mainly carried out in the marginal region. The SiO2 generated from the thermochemical reaction of the material filled the interspace well and prevented the thermochemical reaction from penetrating deeper through the crack. The protective layer in the molten state with high viscosity reduced the damage of the high-speed jet impact material.

coP has attracted increasing attention due to its high theoretical capacity for lithium storage. However, coP suffers from a large volume expansion during cycling, which leads to electrode pulverization and poor cycle stability. In addition, the conductivity of coP is poor, resulting in undesirable rate performance. To solve this problem, the coP/ccomposite was prepared based on the in-situ phosphating heat treatment technology of co-BTc MOF. The as prepared coP/c exhibits a good lithium storage specificcapacity and a cycle stability, which is attributed by the synergistic effect of the porous nanostructure and carbon frame. The porous nanostructure of the coP/c allows the electrolyte to easily penetrate into the interior, which increases the number of electrochemical reaction sites while effectively mitigating the volume expansion during lithiation and improving electrical conductivity. Thanks to the special structures, the discharge specificcapacity of the Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based the coP/c as anode materials is 645.7 mAh g(-1) after 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g(-1). This work demonstrates that the coP/c has a great potential as a next generation anode material for LIBs.
