Moisture, 1,2-propanediol, and glycerol are crucial quality indicators in the production and application of novel tobacco products and reconstituted tobacco leaves. However, accurately measuring these components simultaneously remains a challenge. In this study, a method applying GC-TCD&FID method for the simultaneous determination of moisture, 1,2-propanediol, glycerol and menthol was developed. The results showed that: (1) all four components exhibited good linearity, with correlation coefficients (R) above 0.995 for water and above 0.999 for three alcohols. Recoveries ranged from 94.49 to 102.83%, and repeatability RSD ranged from 1.25 to 2.33%. The detection limit for water was 0.32 mg/mL, and the alcohols ranged from 0.04 to 0.21 mg/mL. (2) Sample pretreatment and GC analysis were combined into a single step, reducing reagent use, workload, and total analysis time by about 50%. Anhydrous ethanol replaced methanol as the solvent, aligning the method with green and low-carbon principles. This approach has been validated and successfully applied in production over the past 3 years, demonstrating its reliability and practicality.

Fly ash (FA) landfills are overflowing with materials, and unexplored waste streams like waste spent garnet (WSG) and waste foundry sand (WFS) are often dumped in onsite storage spaces, limiting land availability for future use and exacerbating environmental concerns related to waste disposal. Therefore, this research proposes recycling FA to produce reclaimed FA (RFA) as a binder, replacing 40-60% of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and 30-50% of river sand (RS) with WSG and WFS to produce geopolymers. The performance of geopolymers was assessed under different curing regimes, including ambient-temperature curing (ATC), ambient-temperature water curing (AWC), high-temperature curing (HTC), and high-temperature water curing (HWC).

This study investigated the effects of electron beam irradiation (0-8 kGy) on the physicochemical and protein properties of scallop adductor muscles under refrigerated storage. Irradiation significantly decreased moisture content, microbial counts, and total sulfhydryl content immediately after treatment (day 0), while increasing carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (P < 0.05).

Alpine ecosystems are critical for water regulation but highly sensitive to climate change. In the Three-River Source Region (TRSR) of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, changes in temperature, precipitation, and large-scale ecological restoration have significantly altered vegetation phenology-including the start (SOS), end (EOS), and length (LOS) of the growing season, as well as vegetation growth status (GS). These shifts affect hydrological processes such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture, snowmelt, and runoff.

Concrete production significantly contributes to CO emissions and depletion of natural resources, leading to substantial environmental concerns. The integration of polymers into concrete has emerged as a promising innovative solution aimed at overcoming inherent limitations of traditional concrete, including brittleness, susceptibility to tracking, environmental degradation, and substantial ecological impacts. This systematic review thoroughly investigates the properties, sustainability implications, and practical challenges associated with polymer-based concrete (PBC), particularly focusing on polymer concrete composites (PCC) and polymer-modified concrete (PMC) detailing their composition, mechanical behavior, and durability.
