Article Abstract

The trace elements (TEs) have caused great harm to the environment due to the large consumption of coal, and their emission from the coal-fired power plant (CFPP) has become a hot issue. The deep peak load regulation (DPLR) become a trend in the CFPP, which will affect the migration and emission of TEs. To explore the effect of the DLPR on the migration and emission characteristics of typical TEs in a 330 MW CFPP, the TEs field tests were carried out during the regulation period. Results showed that a higher load enhanced the migration of Pb, Mn, and Cr from bottom ash to fly ash, while it had little effect on the other TEs. More importantly, >99 % of TEs (93 % of Se) could be captured by air pollution control devices (APCDs), and the emission risk of Se and Mn increased with the load. Compared with the other TEs, it is particularly noteworthy that Se has a higher gaseous proportion in the flue gas, and the emission factor sharply increased from 165 MW to 297 MW. In addition, part of the particulate selenium transformed into a gaseous state across the ESP. This work contributes to understanding the migration characteristic of TEs during the DPLR process of CFPP and provides guidance for TEs control in the CFPP.

Pd-zeolites are promising passive NO adsorber (PNA) materials for mitigating cold-start emissions from lean-burn engines. However, their practical deployment is constrained by insufficient densities and dispersion of isolated Pd active sites as well as their susceptibility to hydrothermal degradation and phosphorus poisoning encountered in vehicle exhaust environments. Herein, we develop a rationally engineered core-shell Pd/SSZ-13@AlO composite, featuring a Pd/SSZ-13 core encapsulated within a mesoporous AlO shell.

Climate change driven by anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions represents an immediate and grave threat to human health and survival. Sea level rise, altered weather patterns and increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events can damage health directly (eg, injury, heat stress, altered aeroallergen and particulate exposure). They also bring indirect health impacts through altered patterns of zoonotic and vectorborne diseases, disruption of food systems and downstream social consequences (economic collapse, mass migration and conflict).

Background: The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota, composed of diverse microbial communities, is essential for physiological processes, including immune modulation. Strains such as Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 support gut health by reducing inflammation and resisting pathogens. Microbial therapies using such strains may restore GI balance and offer alternatives to antibiotics, whose overuse contributes to antibiotic resistance.

Background/aims: Current guidelines suggest that the indications for pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP) should rely on nomograms predicting their involvement. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligand is gaining acceptance as routine diagnostic test before RP in patients with intermediate/high-risk prostate cancer (PC). In this study, we examined the effect of preoperative PET/CT on the accuracy of the nomograms.
