Article Abstract
A passive sampling method, using retracted solid-phase microextraction (SPME) - gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and time-weighted averaging, was developed and validated for tracking marker volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during aerobic digestion of biohazardous animal tissue. The retracted SPME configuration protects the fragile fiber from buffeting by the process gas stream, and it requires less equipment and is potentially more biosecure than conventional active sampling methods. VOC concentrations predicted via a model based on Fick's first law of diffusion were within 6.6-12.3% of experimentally controlled values after accounting for VOC adsorption to the SPME fiber housing. Method detection limits for five marker VOCs ranged from 0.70 to 8.44ppbv and were statistically equivalent (p>0.05) to those for active sorbent-tube-based sampling. The sampling time of 30min and fiber retraction of 5mm were found to be optimal for the tissue digestion process.

Ciprofloxacin (CIP), a widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic, has become a significant contaminant in aquatic environments due to its extensive use and incomplete metabolism. This review comprehensively analyses CIP pollution, including its sources, environmental and health impacts, and removal strategies. Chemical methods such as advanced oxidation processes and physical techniques like adsorption are evaluated for their efficiency in CIP removal.

In fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes, vanadium is a primary harmful feedstock contaminant that deactivates catalysts by forming vanadate species which corrode the zeolite framework and damage catalyst structure. Introducing vanadium capture agents is an effective way to enhance the catalytic performance, but the mechanism of the interaction has not yet been fully understood. This study demonstrates that lanthanum-based additives significantly improve vanadium resistance in FCC catalysts.

Reaction intermediates (RI) are key factors that directly determine the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, a local electric field microenvironment was built in a FeNi and MoNi heterostructure (H-FeNiMo/NMF) to induce the redistribution of hydroxyls and protons on the metal sites during the OER and HER. H-FeNiMo/NMF requires only 270 and 155 mV to reach 100 mA cm in alkaline media for OER and HER, respectively.

Estuarine plumes (EPs) are recognized as critical drivers of dissolved organic matter (DOM) heterogeneity in coastal zones, primarily by inducing phytoplankton blooms and subsequent bottom-water dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion. However, the specific mechanisms governing the EP-driven transformations of DOM molecular composition and biogeochemical fate remain elusive. Here, we integrated optical spectroscopy and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to characterize the molecular signatures of DOM and their biogeochemical transformations within EP-influenced bottom waters of the Pearl River Estuary.

Hypothesis: Gas hydrate formation in sediments is influenced by the availability of gas-water interfacial areas, which governs gas-water interactions. The surface wettability of sediment particles is expected to affect the spatial distribution of water within the pore space, thereby altering the extent of gas-liquid contact. Consequently, by tuning the wettability heterogeneity of the sediment, the spatial distribution of pore water can be regulated, which in turn influences the gas-water interactions and the kinetics of gas hydrate formation.
