The Effect and Mechanism of Calcium Ions Concentration on Biofouling Grown in Treated Sewage Source Heat Pump Systems

Zhileng xuebao, 2016
Treated sewage source heat pump systems could reuse the large amount of wasted heat in the city sewage to refrigerate and heat the buildings. However, biofouling, which is the key problem in treated sewage heat pump systems, decreases the system ...

Hydrogel Phase Transition‐Driven Soft Gating Circumvents Debye Screening for Advanced Biosensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A 3D soft gate utilizes a macroscopic hydrogel phase transition to effectively circumvent Debye screening in high‐salt environments. The intact matrix maximizes transmembrane ion flux via volumetric Donnan enrichment and superhydrophilicity. Target‐triggered network disassembly abolishes these effects, introducing a synergistic physical barrier.

Electronic‐State Programming of Ultrasmall CeO2 Switches H2O2 Activation From Radical to Bio‐Inspired Nonradical 1O2 Generation for Combating Antibiotic Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A scalable synthesis of carbon‐supported ultrasmall CeO2 nanoparticles with precisely tunable Ce electron density is reported. Electron‐lean Ce sites activate H2O2 exclusively via a nonradical pathway, enabling efficient HOBr and 1O2 production analogous to bromoperoxidase for contaminant and antibiotic resistance removal.

Synergistic Advanced Oxidation and Physicochemical Treatment Strategies for Antibiotic Removal and Resistance Mitigation in Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...
