Known as the “white oil”, lithium is a key raw material to support strategic emerging industries and future industrial development. Zabuye Salt Lake is the only one in Tibet, China that has so far realized the industrialization of lithium...

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is associated with various chronic diseases. TMAO is a downstream oxidative metabolite of trimethylamine (TMA) that is generated by the gut microbiota from dietary choline, carnitine, and betaine. Current analytical meth...

The increasing global demand for critical minerals, driven by rapid population growth and the widespread adoption of low-carbon technologies, electric vehicles, and clean energy systems, highlights the urgent need for sustainable resource management....

Hydrogels have garnered considerable interest in water purification owing to their distinctive physicochemical characteristics, including high porosity, modifiable surface chemistry, and superior water retention capacity. This paper provides a thorou...

A new type of elliptical cyclone separator has been proposed recently, but the flow field characteristics within the industrial device still need to be further investigated. In this paper, the characteristics of the flow field and particle motion ins...

This study reports the development of shape-controlled TiO2 (B)/anatase heterostructures for the degradation of emerging environmental pollutants, including phenol, methomyl (insecticides), and diclofenac sodium (drug), under UV-visible-light irradia...

In this paper, the separation characteristics of mist remover in a wet flue gas desulfurization system are numerically simulated, and the separation mechanism in the channel of mist remover is analyzed considering the influence of droplets on wall re...

Honey, a sweet and nutritious food produced by honeybees, is extensively consumed by humans due to its potential health benefits. Unfortunately, the adulteration of honey with inexpensive sugar syrups is a prevalent issue. Verifying the authenticity...

We have designed, built, and characterized an inexpensive gas chromatograph with photoionization detection using readily commercially available components. These include a home carbonation CO2 cylinder for the carrier gas, headspace sampling using a...

Multilayer flexible packaging wastes (MFPWs) consist of complex materials composed of multiple plastic films, which are often laminated with aluminum foil, and they constitute a large portion of packaging waste. The use of several polymeric layers is...
