Abstract
A novel gas-liquid hybrid double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor with coaxial cylinder configuration was developed for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in this study. In this DDBD reactor, the reactive species generation occurred in the gas-phase discharge, directly in the liquid, and in the mixture of the working gas bubbles and the liquid, which could effectively increase the contact area between the active substance and MB molecules/intermediates, resulting in an excellent MB degradation efficiency and mineralization (COD and TOC). The electrostatic field simulation analysis by Comsol was carried out to determine the appropriate structural parameters of the DDBD reactor. The effect of discharge voltage, air flow rate, pH, and initial concentration on MB degradation was evaluated. Besides, major oxide species, ·OH, the dissolved O3 and H2O2 generated in this DDBD reactor were determined. Moreover, major MB degradation intermediates were identified by LC-MS, based on which, possible degradation pathways of MB were proposed.

Abstract
In this study, variations in the free radical concentration, degree of swelling (Q), and extraction yield of Buertai coal (C%, 80.4%) in 11 solvents with different characteristics were determined to investigate the interaction between the coal and solvent, as well as the bond cleavage during solvent extraction. Derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) results for the residues and raw coal were compared to confirm whether the covalent bond breaks during solvent extraction. The free radical concentration decreases in certain solvents but increases in a few others. The relative free radical concentration, Q, and extraction yield are positively correlated. The charge-transfer capability of the solvent, and in particular its electron-donating capability, plays an essential role in influencing the interaction between the coal and solvent. The increase in the free radical concentration during solvent extraction can be attributed to (1) the formation or decomposition of charge-transfer complexes, (2) dissociation of charge-transfer complexes into radical ions, and (3) breakage of weak covalent bonds. DTG results show the occurrence of weak covalent bonds breakage at temperatures of 133.9-320.1 °C during solvent extraction due to the reduction of the bond energy caused by the formation of radical ions.

Abstract
The potential energy surfaces (PESs) of three nitrotoluene isomers, such as p-nitrotoluene, m-nitrotoluene, and o-nitrotoluene, have been theoretically built at the CCSD(T)/CBS level. The geometries of reactants, transition states (TSs) and products are optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Results show that reactions of -NO2 isomerizing to ONO, and C-NO2 bond dissociation play important roles among all of the initial channels for p-nitrotoluene and m-nitrotoluene, and that the H atom migration and C-NO2 bond dissociation are dominant reactions for o-nitrotoluene. In addition, there exist pathways for three isomer conversions, but with high energy barriers. Rate constant calculations and branching ratio analyses further demonstrate that the isomerization reactions of O transfer are prominent at low to intermediate temperatures, whereas the direct C-NO2 bond dissociation reactions prevail at high temperatures for p-nitrotoluene and m-nitrotoluene, and that H atom migration is a predominant reaction for o-nitrotoluene, while C-NO2 bond dissociation becomes important by increasing the temperature.

Abstract
In order to predict the impact sensitivity of high explosives, we designed and evaluated several models based on the trigger linkage hypothesis and the Arrhenius equation. To this effect, we calculated the heat of detonation, temperature of detonation, and bond dissociation energy for 70 energetic molecules. The bond dissociation energy divided by the temperature of detonation proved to be a good predictor of the impact sensitivity of nitroaromatics, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.81. A separate Bayesian analysis gave similar results, taking model complexity into account. For nitramines, there was no relationship between the impact sensitivity and the bond dissociation energy. None of the models studied gave good predictions for the impact sensitivity of liquid nitrate esters. For solid nitrate esters, the bond dissociation energy divided by the temperature of detonation showed promising results (R2 = 0.85), but since this regression was based on only a few data points, it was discredited when model complexity was accounted for by our Bayesian analysis. Since the temperature of detonation correlated with the impact sensitivity for nitroaromatics, nitramines, and nitrate esters, we consider it to be one of the leading predictive factors of impact sensitivity for energetic materials.

Abstract
Gas-phase metal nitrate anions are known to yield a variety of interesting metal oxides upon fragmentation. The aluminum nitrate anion complexes, Al(NO3)4(-) and AlO(NO3)3(-) were generated by electrospray ionization and studied with collision-induced dissociation and energy-resolved mass spectrometry. Four different decomposition processes were observed, the loss of NO3(-), NO3(•), NO2(•), and O2. The oxygen radical ligand in AlO(NO3)3(-) is highly reactive and drives the formation of AlO(NO3)2(-) upon loss of NO3(•), AlO2(NO3)2(-) upon NO2(•) loss, or Al(NO2)(NO3)2(-) upon abstraction of an oxygen atom from a neighboring nitrate ligand followed by loss of O2. The AlO2(NO3)2(-) fragment also undergoes elimination of O2. The mechanism for O2 elimination requires oxygen atom abstraction from a nitrate ligand in both AlO(NO3)3(-) and AlO2(NO3)2(-), revealing the hidden complexity in the fragmentation of these clusters.
