Abstract

The composites (SiO2/HATP) were prepared by condensation reflux and high-temperature calcination using natural attapulgite and silica particles, and it was utilized for the adsorption of toluene. The physicochemical properties of the composite adsorbents were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and BET techniques. The SiO2/HATP composite material was successfully prepared, with silica particles uniformly loaded onto the surface of ATP. The adsorption performance of the composite materials for toluene was investigated using different feed ratios. The results showed that the composite materials with the mass ratio SiO2/ATP equal to 4 exhibited the highest static adsorption capacity for toluene, reaching 236 mg/g. Additionally, dynamic adsorption performance of toluene was evaluated under conditions of 0 and 80% relative humidity, with corresponding breakthrough times of 90 and 36 min, respectively. The adsorption capacity of the composite materials for toluene was 6–8 times higher than that of pure attapulgite clay. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanisms of the composite materials were investigated through adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms, and adsorption thermodynamics. The results indicated that the adsorption of toluene by the composite materials followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm, suggesting a spontaneous exothermic physical adsorption process at a monolayer level. Moreover, regeneration experiments were conducted, and after 5 cycles of adsorption-desorption tests, the composite materials maintained a penetration time of 85 and 30 min for toluene under conditions of 0 and 80% relative humidity, respectively, demonstrating good recyclability.

Abstract

The rapid development of the battery industry has brought about a large amount of waste battery pollution. How to realize the high-value utilization of waste batteries is an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, cobalt and titanium compounds (LTCO) were firstly recovered from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using the carbon thermal reduction approach, and plasmonic attapulgite/Co(Ti)Ox (H-ATP/Co(Ti)Ox) nanocomposites were prepared by the microwave hydrothermal technique. H-ATP had a large specific surface area and enough active sites to capture CO2 molecules. The biochar not only reduced the spinel phase of waste LIBs into metal oxides including Co3O4 and TiO2 but also increased the separation and transmission of the carriers, thereby accelerating the adsorption and reduction of CO2. In addition, H-ATP/Co(Ti)Ox exhibited a localized surface plasmon resonance effect (LSPR) in the visible to near-infrared region and released high-energy hot electrons, enhancing the surface temperature of the catalyst and further improving the catalytic reduction of CO2 with a high CO yield of 14.7 μmol·g−1·h−1. The current work demonstrates the potential for CO2 reduction by taking advantage of natural mineral and spent batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

It is still a critical challenge to prepare engineering plastics with multi‐functionalities and high‐performances while considering their aesthetic properties and dyeing processes. In this study, a light‐colored conductive nanorod (CNR) was employed to mediate the morphology of immiscible polypropylene/poly(butylene succinate) (PP/PBS) blends. The CNR could be only located in polar PBS phase to effectively control the viscoelasticity ratio between binary phases. By incorporating just 9 per hundred resins (phr) of CNR, the sea‐island structure of PP/PBS (70/30) would transform a stable co‐continuous morphology of PP/PBS/CNR (70/30/9). The addition of CNR led to a significant reduction in blends' surface resistivity and volume resistivity. Simultaneously, the mechanical properties and appearance colors of the ternary blends were improved. The effect of CNR in morphological mediation was further verified with PP/poly(butylene adipate terephthalate)/CNR (PP/PBAT/CNR) and PP/poly(ε‐caprolactone)/CNR (PP/PCL/CNR) blends. In summary, this work provided a desirable engineering plastic, demonstrating permanent antistatic performance, improved mechanical properties and good colorability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
