Finding an economical amendment, available in a steady supply, is needed to support the biodrying industrialization. This research developed a recyclable biodrying amendment (RBA) to condition the biodrying of sewage sludge. The pilot-scale treatment (TR), which included the addition of equivalent weights of RBA and sawdust as amendments, resulted in a higher pile temperature and longer thermophilic phase compared to the control (TC), which used only sawdust as an amendment. The final moisture content levels were below 50% with both TR and TC. The heat use efficiency for water evaporation was 72.2% and 73.0% in TR and TC, respectively. The activity of α-amylase and cellulose 1,4-β-cellobiosidase increased during the thermophilic phase, while the activity of endo-1,4-β-glucanase and endo-1,4-β-xylanase decreased during the thermophilic phase with both TR and TC. The fourier-transform infrared spectra indicated that adding the RBA resulted in good biodegradability of the lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides. The humic acid to fulvic acid ratio in TR and TC increased from 0.33 (TR) and 0.35 (TC) on day 0-0.46 (TR) and 0.45 (TC) on day 21, indicating the humification process. The RBA recovery rate was 95.6% and can be reused. These findings highlight that adding RBA showed satisfactory biodrying performance, reduced the amendment cost, and the biodrying product could be incinerated without energy deficit.Located in the transitional region between the Sichuan Basin (SCB) and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the West China Rain Zone (WCRZ) is a large-scale ecotone and partially belongs to the Southwest China Mountains, which is one of the world's 34 biodiversity hotspots. Using observation data from national air quality stations and our own monitoring data, we investigated the risk from O3 to vegetation and the major source-region of O3 for two UNESCO (i.e., United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) world heritage properties (Mt. Qingcheng and Mt. Emei) and one city (Ya'an) in the WCRZ. The results show that the annual mean maximum daily 8-h average (MDA8) O3 concentration in Mt. Qingcheng (54 ppb) was higher than that in the adjacent SCB cities (38-48 ppb). The acute and chronic risk levels from O3 to vegetation were also higher in Mt. Qingcheng than at all the other sites. The mean MDA8 O3 concentrations and the O3 risk levels to vegetation in Mt. Emei and Ya'an fell in the range of that at the SCB and QTP cities. However, O3 exposures at all the WCRZ, SCB, and QTP sites exceeded the empirical critical loads for natural ecosystems, forest trees, and highly O3-sensitive plants. The SCB was identified as the largest source-region of O3 for Mt. Qingcheng and Mt. Emei but other Chinese regions and northern India also had considerable contributions. To protect biodiversity and ecosystem services, there is a need to further systematically study O3 and its ecological impacts for the entire WCRZ.A new method was developed to remove gaseous and particulate pollutants by capturing them in water using microbubbles. The capture efficiency of gaseous toluene and ultrafine carbon particles, which are hydrophobic substances, was remarkably improved compared to water-only conditions by adding a small amount of oily substances (4% volume fraction of water) to the water surface. The physicochemical properties of four types of oily substances were investigated. Rapeseed and mineral oil exhibited good capture efficiency during a capture experiment of high-concentration gaseous toluene for 96 h. Additionally, a long-term continuous capture experiment for 24 days revealed that the capture mechanisms of rapeseed and mineral oil were different. The toluene concentration in rapeseed oil reached saturation in the middle of the experiment while the capture efficiency of mineral oil remained constant. It was also shown that the emulsion formation greatly affected the capture of rapeseed oil. Thus, it is expected that a new gaseous pollutant treatment technology that can capture and remove gaseous/particulate pollutants regardless of their hydrophilic/hydrophobic properties could be developed in the future.The ultra-deep adsorptive desulfurization (ppb level) of benzene remains a challenging subject with the need to construct efficient adsorbent systems. Herein, a kind of ruthenium-based adsorbent functionalized with bimetallic Ru-Al was rationally designed using Al2O3 as support (denoted as 0.8%Ru-1.2%Al/Al2O3). It was found that the co-anchoring of Ru and Al species endows the Ru-based adsorbent unique adsorption capability, which is able to completely eliminate sulfur compounds in benzene, and exhibiting a much higher breakthrough sulfur capacity than that of the 0.8%Ru/Al2O3. Remarkably, under the industrial experiment conditions, 0.8%Ru-1.2%Al/Al2O3 exhibited excellent long-term stability for more than 1200 h, showing the potential for industrial application. Various characterization techniques, including BET, XRD, SEM, TEM, TPD-MS, TPR and XPS, were used to investigate the correlation between the adsorption performance and the microstructure of the adsorbents. Over 0.8%Ru-1.2%Al/Al2O3, the ultra-thin aluminum additive is beneficial to improve the dispersion of Ru species, which therefore exhibits desirable desulfurization efficiency. Moreover, the enhanced performance is also correlated to the presence of the suitable Ru active centers generated from the selective coverage by Al species. It leads to an optimal exposure of the Ru active centers, which would facilitate the interaction of S-Ru and the improvement of the desulfurization activity.Purpose To examine the effectiveness of (i) face to face interventions (ii) models of service delivery and (iii) psychological treatments combined with speech-focused interventions for adults who stutter. Methods Five electronic databases and three clinical trial registries were searched. Systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and studies that applied an intervention with adults who stutter were included. Pharmaceutical interventions were excluded. Prexasertib in vivo Primary outcomes included a measure of stuttering severity. Risk of bias assessment was conducted on included studies and overall quality of the evidence was graded. Results Five RCTS, four registered trials and three systematic reviews met inclusion criteria. Intervention approaches included speech restructuring programs (e.g. Camperdown Program) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). One study investigated cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) alongside speech restructuring. Overall, studies were classified low risk of bias and good quality.
