Article Abstract
The interactions of the cationic surfactant DODAB with anionic xanthan (XAN) and nonionic galactomannan (GMC) polysaccharides in solution were investigated using tensiometry, differential scanning microcalorimetry (μ-DSC), zeta potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques and by the calculated thermodynamic parameters of ΔG(ves)(0), ΔG(ads)(0), Γ(max) and a(min). The surfactant formed large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) that aggregated with both the polymers in solution. Increasing DODAB concentrations resulted in greater and greater DODAB-XAN aggregates, high turbidity and even precipitation, while DODAB-GMC aggregates remained equal sized, clear solution and no precipitation observed. Further addition of DODAB to XAN solution was able to resuspend the precipitates. The interactions with both polysaccharides resulted in a more spontaneous adsorption of the DODAB-polymer aggregates at the air/solution interface with lower surfactant population.

Strong intermolecular interactions facilitate the formation of efficient ion transport channels, which, in turn, significantly boost the performance of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Herein, 9-anthracene methanol with both π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding intermolecular forces is used as a bifunctional unit to synthesize high-performance AEMs through the Friedel-Crafts superacid catalytic reaction for the first time. The π-π stacking in the bifunctional units can induce hydrophilic pyridine cations to aggregate, and the hydrogen bonding can provide transport sites for OH and water molecules in the hydrophobic component.

A CoO/AgMoO/CeOternary nanocomposites photocatalyst was successfully synthesized through a straightforward ethanol-assisted chemical method. Comprehensive characterization of its structural and optical properties was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of CoO, AgMoO and CeO in the ternary composite sample.

The 2021-eruption of Tajogaite (La Palma, Canary Islands) was associated with the formation of large amounts of respirable PM aerosols (smaller than 10 μm) that triggered air quality crisis and lockdowns for ∼35,000 persons. This study aims to quantify the contribution of the aerosol formation mechanisms to the volcanic PM concentrations. During the eruption and post-eruption, we monitored trace gases (SO, HF, HCl and NO), and the size distribution and chemical composition of falling-tephra and PM aerosols.

Multivalent cations are commonly employed to accelerate sludge aggregation and granulation, yet they often compromise intragranular mass transfer and diminish microbial activity. Here, the effect of Fe(III) dosing on granule formation and anammox-driven nitrogen removal over a 110-day continuous operation was investigated. Fe(III) supplementation enhanced interactions with extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), transforming flocculent biomass into highly porous granules and yielding a 67.
