Abstract The aim of this research was to synthesize a new totally bio wood adhesive entailing the use of oxidized starch (OST), urea, and oxidized lignin (OL). For this reason, non-modified (L) and oxidized lignin (OL) at different contents (20%, 30%, and 40%) were used to prepare the starch-urea-lignin (SUL) and starch-urea-oxidized lignin (SUOL) resin. Sodium persulfate (SPS) as oxidizer was employed to oxidize both starch and lignin. Urea was just used as a low cost and effective crosslinker in the resin composition. The properties of the synthesized resins and the plywood panels bonded with them… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In modern engineering, enhancing boiling heat transfer efficiency is crucial for optimizing energy use and several industrial processes involving different types of materials. This study explores the enhancement of pool boiling heat transfer potentially induced by combining perforated copper particles on a heated surface with a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant in saturated deionized water. Experiments were conducted at standard atmospheric pressure, with heat flux ranging from 20 to 100 kW/m². The heating surface, positioned below the layer of freely moving copper beads, allowed the particle layer to shift due to liquid convection and steam More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Low salinity water containing sulfate ions can significantly alter the surface wettability of carbonate rocks. Nevertheless, the impact of sulfate concentration on the desorption of oil film on the surface of carbonate rock is still unknown. This study examines the variations in the wettability of the surface of carbonate rocks in solutions containing varying amounts of sodium sulfate and pure water. The problem is addressed in the framework of molecular dynamics simulation (Material Studio software) and experiments. The experiment’s findings demonstrate that sodium sulfate can increase the rate at which oil moisture is turned into More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Bio-based cyclodextrins (CDs) are a common research object in supramolecular chemistry. The special cavity structure of CDs can form supramolecular self-assemblies such as vesicles and microcrystals through weak interaction with guest molecules. The different forms of supramolecular self-assemblies can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. The regulation of supramolecular self-assembly is not only helpful to understand the self-assembly principle, but also beneficial to its application. In the present study, the self-assembly behavior of epoxy-β-cyclodextrin (EP-β-CD) and mixed anionic and cationic surfactant system (sodium dodecyl sulfate/dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, SDS/DTAB) in aqueous solution was studied. Morphological… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract

SR-AOP (sulfate radical advanced oxidation process) is a novel water treatment method able to eliminate refractory organic pollutants. Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is a novel green technology, that can effectively produce strong oxidizing sulfate radicals. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the research advancements in these fields and a critical discussion of the principal factors influencing HC-enhanced SR-AOP and the mechanisms of synergistic degradation. Furthermore, some insights into the industrial application of HC/PS are also provided. Current research shows that this technology is feasible at the laboratory stage, but its application on larger scales requires

Abstract In this paper, the durability of cement mortar prepared with a recycled-concrete fine powder (RFP) was examined; including the analysis of a variety of aspects, such as the carbonization, sulfate attack and chloride ion erosion resistance. The results indicate that the influence of RFP on these three aspects is different. The carbonization depth after 30 days and the chloride diffusion coefficient of mortar containing 10% RFP decreased by 13.3% and 28.19%. With a further increase in the RFP content, interconnected pores formed between the RFP particles, leading to an acceleration of the penetration rate of CO₂ More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic disease with urinary tract symptoms and pain. Pentosan polysulfate (PPS) is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved oral medication for the treatment of IC pain and symptoms. Recently, articles described a pigmentary maculopathy in IC patients on long term PPS therapy. Currently, there is no definitive study directly linking PPS as the cause of the pigmentary maculopathy. The aim of this review is to evaluate if PPS is the causative factor of the pigmentary maculopathy or if PPS use is only associated with the pigmentary maculopathy.
