The measured versus thermodynamically simulated SOx and HCl emissions were consistent. Neural network-based simultaneous optimizations of the non-linear dynamics of eight kinds of gases pointed to 50% and 14.4% reductions in the emissions and the pyrolytic temperature, respectively, with the 3% FeCl3, relative to the control.As a natural reduction mineral, pyrite (FeS2), was combined with biochar by simply ball milling technology to synthesize FeS2@biochar composite (BM-FeS2@BC) and applied for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in aqueous solution. SEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS characterization results showed that the FeS2 and biochar were successfully combined and biochar suppressed the agglomeration of FeS2. Batch sorption experiments showed that the BM-FeS2@BC700 composite (mass ratio of FeS2-to-biochar = 31) had enhanced Cr(VI) removal capacity of 134 mg·g-1, which were 3-25 times higher than those of the corresponding pristine and ball-milled biochar and FeS2. The removal of Cr(VI) by BM-FeS2@BC700 was dosage and pH dependent. The addition of oxalic acid (OA) exhibited a promotion effect on the removal of Cr(VI) by increasing the removal rate of Cr(VI) from 56% to 100%. Reduction, adsorption, and surface complexation were the dominate mechanisms for Cr(VI) removal by BM-FeS2@BC700. At the equilibrium Cr(VI) concentration of 15.7 mg·L-1, 92.25% of Cr(VI) was removed through reduction/precipitation and 8.75% was removed by adsorption/surface complexation. The fitting results of the Langmuir model proved that the removal of Cr(VI) by BM-FeS2@BC700 composite was chemical surface monolayer adsorption. This work demonstrates the potential of ball milling for the preparation of FeS2@BC composite to remove Cr(VI) from water and wastewater.Herein, an innovative enzyme free electrochemiluminescence chlorpyrifos sensor was reported based on the incorporation of ternary nanocomposite (ruthenium nanobeads/silver nanoparticles/graphene oxide) on the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The silver nanoparticles as a robust signal enhancing agent were well deposited on the modified graphene oxide/glassy carbon electrode and exhibited supreme electrocatalytic proficiency. Then, Ru(bipy)32+ species in bead-like nanoparticles were uniformly anchored on the surface of the modified electrode with the help of chitosan, as a good crosslinking agent. Boron nitride quantum dots as a new coreactant species showed the excellent proficiency for signal enhancement of the fabricated electrode. The fabricated electrode was successfully used as an ultra-sensitive sensor for trace analysis of chlorpyrifos by ECL technique. The wide linear range and the low detection limit were obtained from 5.0 × 10-15 to 4.2 × 10-9 M and 6.5 × 10-16 M, respectively.Water holding capacity (WHC) is an important factor for the evaluation of rehydrated shiitake mushroom as WHC largely affects sensory attributes. MNU chemical mw Here, WHC of the rehydrated shiitake mushroom as affected by different hot-air drying temperature was investigated from aspects of cell membrane integrity, status of cell wall fibrous material and protein denaturation. Among the three factors, protein denaturation played the most important role to affect the WHC of rehydrated mushroom as protein denaturation was closely related to the maintenance of porous structure after rehydration. Effect of status of the cell wall fibrous material to the WHC changes was relatively weak and was largely correlated to the WHC changes at high temperature (>80 °C). Cell membrane was unlikely to contribute to WHC changes of the rehydrated shiitake mushroom due to the loss of integrity.In present study we explored powder of mucilaginous polysaccharides obtained from seeds of Cassia uniflora by determining its physicochemical, thermal, phytochemical, spectrophotometric and micrometric properties. The probable structure of isolated mucilaginous polysaccharide was determined using FTIR and 1H and 13C NMR spectros
