Nanoparticle cerium oxide (n-CeO2) has been widely used, recently, its toxicity to the aquatic environment has received increasing attention. This study aimed to explore the effects of n-CeO2 on the physiology of Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Results showed that n-CeO2 may inhibited the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and make some influence of chla and protein contents because of the ROS. The activity of SOD and MDA contents also indicated that the high concentration of n-CeO2 may beyond the range of tolerance, which means ROS content may be a key factor in the toxic effects of n-CeO2 on Chlorella pyrenoidosa.

With the rapid development of the printing and dyeing industry, the amount of wastewater discharged is also increasing. Printing and dyeing wastewater is recognized as one of the most difficult industrial wastewater treatments due to its complex composition, high content of refractory organic matter, high chroma, high alkalinity and poor biodegradability. This paper mainly reviews the characteristics and effects of the advanced oxidation method (Fenton oxidation method, photocatalytic oxidation method, ozone oxidation method, wet oxidation method, electrochemical oxidation method) for treating printing and dyeing wastewater, a preliminary outlook on the combined use of several methods was also carried out.

Polymer-supported hydrous iron oxides(HFOs) are promising for heavy metals removal from aqueous *** ubiquitous inorganic ligands, e.g., sulfate, are expected to exert considerable impacts on pollutants removal by these hybrid sorbents. Herein, we obtained a hybrid sorbent HFO-PS by encapsulating nanosized HFO into macroporous polystyrene(PS) resin. Both batch and column sorption experiments of Cu(Ⅱ) by HFO-PS were carried out in the presence of sulfate. Obviously, the presence of sulfate is favorable for Cu(Ⅱ) sorption onto *** performances of column Cu(Ⅱ) removal were fitted and predicted with Adams–Bohart, Clark, Thomas and BDST models. Thomas model is suggested best-fit to predict the breakthrough curves. Besides, a linear correlation is observed between breakthrough time and column length based on BDST model, which might be useful for predicting the breakthrough time for Cu(Ⅱ) removal by HFO-PS.

With the increasing occurrence of haze during the summer, the physicochemical characteristics and toxicity differences in PM2.5 in different seasons are of great concern. Hangzhou is located in an area that has a subtropical monsoon climate where the humidity is very high during both the summer and winter. However, there are limited studies on the seasonal differences in PM2.5 in these weather conditions. In this test, PM2.5 samples were collected in the winter and summer, the morphology and chemical composition of PM2.5 were analyzed, the toxicity of PM2.5 to human bronchial cells BEAS-2B was compared, and the correlation between PM2.5 toxicity and the chemical compo- sition was discussed. The results showed that during both the winter and summer, the main compounds in the PM2.5 samples were water-soluble ions, particularly SO4^2-, NO3^-, and NH4^+, followed by organic components, while heavy metals were present at lower levels. The higher the mass concentration of PM2.5, the greater its impact on cell viability and ROS levels. However, when the mass concentration of PM2.5 was similar, the water extraction from the summer samples showed a greater impact on BEAS-2B than that from the winter samples. The cytotoxicity of PM2.5 was closely associated with heavy metals and organic pollutants but less related to water-soluble ions.

Uniform, ordered mesoporous ZnCo2O4 (meso-ZnCo2O4) nanospheres were successfully synthesized using a sacrificing template method. The meso-ZnCo2O4 nanospheres were used for the first time for H2O2 biosensing and in glucose biofuel cells (GBFCs) as an enzyme mimic. The meso-ZnCo2O4 nanospheres not only exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the H2O2 sensor, achieving a high sensitivity (658.92 μ***-2) and low detection limit (0.3 nM at signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 3), but also performed as an excellent cathode material in GBFCs, resulting in an open circuit voltage of 0.83 V, maximum power density of 0.32 ***-2, and limiting current density of 1.32 ***-2. The preeminent catalytic abilities to H2O2 and glucose may be associated with the large specific surface area of the mesoporous structure in addition to the intrinsic catalytic activity of ZnCo2O4. These significant findings provide a successful basis for developing methods for the supersensitive detection of H2O2 and enriching catalytic materials for biofuel cells.

Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) into valuable hydrocarbons is appealing in alleviating the excessive CO 2 level. We present the very first utilization of metallic bismuth–tin (Bi-Sn) aerogel for CO 2 RR with selective HCOOH production. A non-precious bimetallic aerogel of Bi-Sn is readily prepared at ambient temperature, which exhibits 3D morphology with interconnected channels, abundant interfaces and a hydrophilic surface. Superior to Bi and Sn, the Bi-Sn aerogel exposes more active sites and it has favorable mass transfer properties, which endow it with a high FE HCOOH of 93.9 %. Moreover, the Bi-Sn aerogel achieves a FE HCOOH of ca. 90 % that was maintained for 10 h in a flow battery. In situ ATR-FTIR measurements confirmed that the formation of *HCOO is the rate-determining step toward formic acid generation. DFT demonstrated the coexistence of Bi and Sn optimized the energy barrier for the production of HCOOH, thereby improving the catalytic activity.

The continuous development of modern industry has potential hazard, of which domino effect is a major threat that could result in catastrophe. Moreover, domino accidents will endanger the environment and human health. Some decision support systems for preventing the domino effect have been developed, while most of them are too theoretical and have obvious limitations, such as ignoring the influence of personnel, operational, and other real factors in the actual industrial production process. This paper emphasizes the causes of potential domino accidents and the construction of the accident chain. A system called DOMIRISK is designed which can: 1) quantify the domino effect of the entire plant; 2) identify the root cause of potential domino accidents; 3) build the accident chain of domino effect; 4) assess the environmental risk of the domino accident. A chemical plant is used as an example to illustrate how the system provides practical decision support for controlling the occurrence and spread of domino accidents and protecting environment.
