Nonpolar cross-stacked super-aligned carbon nanotube membrane for efficient wastewater treatment

● A novel nonpolar super-aligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) membrane was prepared. ● SACNT membranes achieved smoother and more uniform structures. ● SACNT membranes have inert chemistry and unique nonpolar wetting feature. ● SACNT membranes exhibit superior separation and antifouling capabilities. ● SACNT membranes achieved superior oil/water separation efficiency. Membrane separation technology has made great progress in various practical applications, but the unsatisfactory separation performance of prevailing membrane materials hampers its further sustainable growth. This study proposed a novel nonpolar super-aligned carbon nanotube (SACNT) membrane, which was prepared with a layer-by-layer cross-stacking method. Through controlling the number of stacked SACNT layers, three kinds of SACNT membranes (SACNT_200, SACNT_300, and SACNT_400) were prepared. Systematic characterizations and filtration tests were performed to investigate their physico-chemical properties, surface wetting behavior, and filtration performance. Compared with two commercial membranes (Com_0.22 and Com_0.45), all the SACNT membranes achieved smoother and more uniform structures. Due to the hexagonal graphene structure of CNTs, the surface chemistry of the SACNT membranes is simple and inert, thereby potentially eliminating the covalent-bonding-induced membrane fouling. Besides, the SACNT membranes exhibited a typical nonpolar wetting behavior, with high contact angles for polar liquids (water: ~124.9°–126.5°; formamide: ~80.0°–83.9°) but low contact angles for nonpolar diiodomethane (~18.8°–20.9°). This unique nonpolar feature potentially leads to weak interactions with polar substances. Furthermore, compared with the commercial membranes, the SACNT membranes obtained a significantly higher selectivity while achieving a comparable or higher permeability (depending on the number of stacked layers). Moreover, the SACNT membranes exhibited superior separation performance in various application scenarios, including municipal wastewater treatment (> 2.3 times higher cleaning efficiency), electro-assistant fouling inhibition (or even self-cleaning), and oil/water separation (> 99.2 % of separation efficiency), suggesting promising application prospects in various fields.

为了对电镀废水中的间硝基苯磺酸钠催化湿式过氧化氢氧化(CWPO)降解条件进行模拟及优化,建立了间硝基苯磺酸钠CWPO降解过程BP神经网络模型.经验证,模型预测值与试验值的平均相对偏差为0.81%,相关系数r和Nash-Suttcliffe模拟效率系数NSC分别为0.992 5和0.983 9.相对灵敏度分析表明,影响间硝基苯磺酸钠去除率(以TOC表示)的顺序从大到小为: 反应温度、间硝基苯磺酸钠质量浓度、pH值、H2O2用量、反应时间、初始氧分压、催化剂用量.结合遗传算法以TOC去除率最高作为优化目标,分别对降解条件进行优化.经对比,带成本约束的优化降解结果(99.36%)比试验中的TOC去除率平均值(85.51%)提高了10%以上,同时,优化后的降解成本(2.03元)相比无成本约束条件下的降解成本(2.38元)降低了近15%(0.35元).     

土壤重金属分析方法间检测结果一致性判断方法——数据对t值检验法的改进与完善

不同分析方法测定结果间的比较,或者说如何判断两种分析方法测定结果的一致性,是检测实验室经常遇到的实际问题。其应用场景包括方法标准验证实验、新方法与经典方法间的比对,特别是在缺少标准样品、测试数据不满足t值检验的条件下,选用合适的判据尤其重要。以采用单波长激发型能量色散X射线荧光光谱法、电感耦合等离子体质谱法、波长色散X射线荧光光谱法测定土壤和水系沉积物样品中Cd、As、Pb、Cu、Zn、Ni、Cr、Co、V、Mn、Mo、Sb等重金属含量所得数据为例,探讨了《环境监测分析方法标准制订技术导则》(HJ 168—2020)附录B中规定的"数据对t值检验法"的不足及改进办法,即用数据对相对偏差和再现性限合格率作为判据,判断分析方法测定结果的一致性。对一组验证样品分别用两种分析方法进行了测定,在数据对t值检验的基础上,取各元素测定结果的相对偏差与相关限值进行比较,或者取两者的差值与基准分析方法标准规定的再现性限进行比较,利用合格率大小协助判断了两分析方法测定结果的一致性。研究结果表明,此方法符合日常质控技术规范中关于精密度的规定,实用性强,是一条将数理统计原理与专业知识相结合的合理技术路线。
