Some Thermodynamic Relationships for Soils at or Below the Freezing Point: 2. Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Unfrozen Soil Water [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 1968
Thermodynamic methods are presented for calculating, from the water adsorption isotherms, the change in unfrozen water content of a partially frozen soil with temperature at a constant pressure or with pressure at a constant temperature. Then, using pertinent experimental data for Na‐Wyoming bentonite, the increase in unfrozen water caused by a ...

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

High Power Density, Low Temperature, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells at Elevated Oxygen Partial Pressure

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Elevated pO2${{p}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ improves oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, thus reducing electrode area specific resistance (ASR). The effect of pO2${{p}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ in open circuit potential (OCP) and ASR is demonstrated on both Sr0.5Sm0.5CoO3‐δ‐Gd0.1Ce0.9O2‐δ (SSC‐GDC) composite cathodes and our recently developed nano‐PSC

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Polystyrene Over Fe–B Composite Catalyst for Enhanced Liquid Fuel Production

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare derived polystyrene waste represents a growing and under addressed fraction of plastic waste streams due to contamination risks and limited recyclability. This study aims to investigate the valorization of waste polystyrene foam through catalytic and noncatalytic pyrolysis pathways to evaluate product yield distribution and identify

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 ...

Development and Characterization of Ribes nigrum Extract‐Loaded PLGA/Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Vaginal Drug Delivery System for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ribes nigrum extract‐loaded PLGA/chitosan nanoparticles is developed as a vaginal drug delivery system for vulvovaginal candidiasis. The chitosan‐coated nanoparticles exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, strong mucoadhesion, sustained release for up to 2 weeks, excellent biocompatibility, and potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans,

Liquid‐phase oxidation of furfural catalyzed by magnetically separable metal oxide nanoparticles deposited on silica gel

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Oxidation of furfural (FF), a bio‐based platform chemical, was investigated using a range of iron‐, vanadium‐ and iron–zinc‐oxalates supported on silica gel (FeVOx@silica and FeZnOx@silica, respectively) as precursor for FeV@silica and FeZn@silica oxide catalysts and H2O2 as a green oxidant.
