The removal process demonstrated enhanced efficiency in an air-conditioned setting as opposed to environments with pure nitrogen or 30% oxygen. A controlled amount of oxygen effectively promotes the reduction reaction, but higher oxygen concentrations inhibit the reduction. Ultimately, a novel method for reducing uranyl ions using a CdS/PCN photocatalyst was presented in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. Employing a novel photocatalytic strategy, this investigation addresses the reduction of U(VI) and the inhibition of photocatalyst corrosion under aerobic circumstances. Suggesting a hybrid energy cycle (HEC) as a modern, efficient, and low-carbon energy power plant, utilizing biomass gasification, is a valid consideration. This article introduces a conceptual thermodynamic design of a HEC fueled by biomass and solar energy, with the goal of simultaneously generating electricity, heat, and hydrogen. The HEC's design includes six key elements: two electric energy generation units, a heat recovery system, a hydrogen energy generation system based on water electrolysis, a thermal power generating module based on a liquid metal fast reactor, and a biofuel production facility using biomass gasification. Assessments of energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic factors are essential to the process of conceptual analysis. Beyond that, a comparison of the pollutant emission reduction rates between the planned HEC and conventional power plants is provided. The forthcoming High-Efficiency Conversion (HEC) facility, in cases of unutilized hydrogen energy, will feed the surplus hydrogen into the combustion chamber to improve overall performance and lessen the reliance on natural gas. Hence, the rate at which polluting gases are discharged from the cycle can be diminished because of a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels. Beyond that, the process's biofuel output level is anticipated utilizing machine learning methods. For the development of the prediction model, two algorithms, support vector machines and Gaussian process regression, were applied. The HEC under consideration was projected to generate approximately 102 megawatts of electricity, 153 kilowatts of thermal power, and 718 kilometers per hour of hydrogen. The Support Vector Machine model's performance on both the training and testing sets is markedly better than that of either Gaussian Process Regression model. Analysis using machine learning techniques indicates that, despite increasing the gasification pressure, the biofuel output does not appreciably increase. Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) is a widely favored disinfectant for swimming pools, particularly in China. Nonetheless, the prevalence and significance of regulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in swimming pools disinfected with TCCA remain comparatively less understood. A comprehensive analysis of 12 regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs), encompassing 4 trihalomethanes (THMs), 5 haloacetic acids (HAAs), bromate, chlorate, and chlorite, was conducted on 85 swimming pool water samples and 17 input tap water samples from a single swimming pool over a period of 17 consecutive days. Most swimming pool water samples, when tested for water temperature, pH, free chlorine, total chlorine, and urea, satisfied the prescribed water quality limits set by China. The presence of THMs, HAAs, and inorganic DBPs differed greatly between swimming pools and tap water. Swimming pool water displayed a concentration range of 204-422, 820-229, and 100-729 g/L, while tap water presented levels of 166-283, 82-128, and 644-956 g/L, respectively. This confirms inorganic DBPs as the dominant pollutant in both environments. The risk of cancer from regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs) in swimming pools is 27E-05, exceeding the US EPA's 10E-06 threshold, while the risk in input tap water is 81E-05, also exceeding this benchmark. The probability of non-cancerous side effects stays below the established benchmark
