Verdú N, Molina JM. Synergistic energy-efficient capture of VOCs and metal-free catalytic conversion using magneto-inductive Guefoams: Proof-of-concept in n-hexane-enriched nitrogen streams. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134872. [PMID: 38878432 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Addressing contemporary environmental and health concerns requires reducing pollutant emissions and converting them into less harmful or valuable compounds within the framework of the circular economy. Guefoam materials offer a promising solution by enabling the capture and pre-concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while facilitating the structuring of active phases for heterogeneous catalytic conversions. This study demonstrates the benefits of merging two newly designed electromagnetic induction-assisted ceramic matrix Guefoams into a portable integrated unit, synergizing the pre-concentration and chemical transformation of n-hexane, a VOC with special challenges. One Guefoam serves as an adsorbent, whereas the other plays a catalytic role. These Guefoams host guest phases, which consist of composite materials combining a steel core with magneto-inductive properties encased in a highly porous carbonaceous layer. This carbonaceous material undertakes a dual mission: adsorbing n-hexane from a nitrogen stream within the adsorptive Guefoam and, upon phosphorus doping in the catalytic Guefoam, orchestrating the metal-free selective dehydroaromatization of n-hexane into benzene. The design and integration of these novel Guefoam materials into a unified functional entity prove highly effective in pre-concentrating (enrichment factors up to 275) and catalyzing n-hexane with up to 84 % conversion and 94 % benzene selectivity while remaining energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable.

Abstract
Novel biochar was prepared from plant-based biomass by the addition of nitrogen-containing phosphates (NCPs), including ammonia phosphate (AP), ammonia polyphosphate (APP) and urea phosphate (UP). The results demonstrated that with the addition of NCPs, the yield of biochar could be significantly increased from about 30% to up to about 60%. The pore structure of the biochar was significantly improved, and the AP-prepared biochar obtained a higher SBET and Vtot of 798 m2 g−1 and 0.464 cm3 g−1, respectively. Moreover, the surface chemistry of the NCP-prepared biochar was affected, and N heteroatoms could be successfully doped on the surface of biochar, up to 4.16%. Furthermore, through TG-FTIR and XPS analysis, some possible interactions between plant-based biomass and NCPs during the pyrolysis process were proposed to explore the mechanisms of the preparation process, including the P route and N route, in which the H3PO4 and NH3 gradually generated during the heating process played the dominant roles for the high yield N-doped biochar. All the NCP-prepared biochar presented good toluene adsorption capacities from 175.9 to 496.2 mg g−1, which were significantly higher than that of blank char (6.5 mg g−1). Novel biochar was prepared from plant-based biomass by the addition of nitrogen-containing phosphates (NCPs), including ammonia phosphate (AP), ammonia polyphosphate (APP) and urea phosphate (UP).![]()

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used in oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions. Quinone groups on the CNT surface were identified as active sites for the dehydrogenation pathway. Liquid-phase oxidation with HNO3 is one way to generate various oxygen functionalities on the CNT surface but it produces a large amount of acid waste, limiting its industrial application. Here, a facile and efficient oxidative method to prepare highly selective CNT catalysts for ODH of n-butane is reported. Magnesium nitrate salts as precursors were used to produce defect-rich CNTs through solid-phase oxidation. Skeleton defects induced on the CNT surface resulted in the selective formation of quinone groups active for the selective dehydrogenation. The as-prepared catalyst exhibited a considerable selectivity (58 %) to C4 olefins, which is superior to that of CNTs oxidized with liquid HNO3 . Through the introduction of MgO nanoparticles on the CNT surface, the desorption of alkenes can be accelerated dramatically, thus enhancing the selectivity. This study provides an attractive way to develop new nanocarbon catalysts.

Abstract
The direct contact between multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and cell membranes causes membrane disruption, potentially leading to cytotoxicity. However, the role of electrostatic forces and MWCNT properties is still open to debate. In this study, the influences of charge and MWCNT surface defects on membrane disruption were investigated by microscopy and a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Positively/negatively charged giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) and supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) were made as model cell membranes. Negatively charged MWCNTs disrupted the GUVs containing positively charged lipids, which confirmed the electrostatically mediated interaction. However, the mass loss was detected from the negatively charged SLBs after MWCNT exposure, which suggests the extraction of phospholipids. The defect degree of MWCNTs correlated with their adhesion amount on the membranes. Both the oxygenated functional groups and unoxidized dangling carbon bonds were active sites for MWCNT-membrane interactions. The MWCNTs were observed to be engulfed inside the GUVs. The results clearly demonstrate that phospholipid extraction by MWCNTs could occur in electrostatically repulsive conditions, and MWCNT defects were active binding sites whether or not they were oxygenated. Our findings should be helpful in the design and safe applications of carbon nanomaterials.
