One-step removal of hexavalent chromium in a wide pH range is of great significance. In this paper, a single thiourea dioxide (TD) and two-components thiourea dioxide/ethanolamine (MEA) were used as a green reducing agent for the efficient removal of Cr(vi), respectively. The reduction of Cr(vi) and the precipitation of Cr(iii) were carried out simultaneously under this reaction system. The experimental results proved that TD was activated by amine exchange reaction with MEA. In other words, MEA promoted the generation of an active isomeride of TD by changing the equilibrium position of the reversible reaction. After adding MEA, the removal rate of Cr(vi) and total Cr could reach industrial water discharge standards in a wide pH range of 8-12. The change of pH, reduction potential and the decomposition rate of TD were investigated in the reaction processes. Meanwhile, reductive and oxidative reactive species were produced simultaneously during this reaction process. Further, oxidative reactive species (O˙ and O) were beneficial for the decomplexation of Cr(iii) complexes and the formation of Cr(iii) precipitation. The experimental results also demonstrated that TD/MEA was effective in practical industrial wastewater. Hence this reaction system has a significant industrial application prospect.

Despite great advances in decarbonylation of aldehydes using noble metals, the reaction is largely limited to high reaction temperatures and displays poor functional group tolerance. Herein, we report photo-irradiated decarbonylation of aldehydes, promoted by -W(N)(dppe), at room temperature. A wide range of substrates with diverse functional groups underwent decarbonylation efficiently to give the corresponding arene and alkane products in moderate to high yields.

Introduction: Interstitial lung disease is a major complication in patients with common variable immunodeficiency. There are some publications that try to shed light on the pathophysiology of this non-infectious complication, most of them highlight the role of follicular T cells and CD21 B cells. Moreover, there are no guidelines based on randomized controlled studies on the treatment of patients with interstitial lung disease and the published case series or small uncontrolled studies describe a wide range of response rates to treatment.

Carbapenemases, β-lactamases hydrolysing carbapenem antibiotics, challenge the treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria. The OXA-48 carbapenemase is widely disseminated in , necessitating new treatments for producer strains. Diazabicyclooctane (DBO) inhibitors, including avibactam and nacubactam, act on a wide range of enzymes to overcome β-lactamase-mediated resistance.

Reaction rate coefficients for electron-transfer processes at the electrode-electrolyte interface are commonly estimated by using the Butler-Volmer equation, but their values are inaccurate beyond a few tenths of volts of overpotential. The Marcus-Hush-Chidsey (MHC) formalism yields correct asymptotic behavior of the rate coefficients vs applied overpotential but has complex dependencies on the redox system's intrinsic parameters, which can be difficult to model or measure. In this work, we bridge the two kinetics formalisms to estimate the reorganization energy, one of the important parameters for the MHC formalism, and investigate its dependence on other intrinsic parameters such as activation barriers, electronic coupling strength, and the density of states of the electrode surface.
