Abstract
Gas nanobubbles used for water treatment and recovery give rise to great concern for their unique advantages of less byproducts, higher efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI), which has also been widely explored in the field of environmental remediation, can generate gas hydrogen by direct reaction with water. Whether nanoscale hydrogen bubbles can be produced to enhance the pollution removal of the nZVI system is one significant concern involved. Herein, we report direct observations of in situ generation of hydrogen nanobubbles (HNBs) from nZVI in water. More importantly, the formed HNBs can enhance indeed the reduction of Se(IV) beyond the chemical reduction ascribed to Fe(0), especially in the anaerobic environment. The possible mechanism is that HNBs enhance the reducibility of the system and promote electron transport in the solution. This study demonstrates a unique function of HNBs combined with nZVI for the pollutant removal and a new approach for in situ HNB generation for potential applications in the fields of in situ remediation agriculture, biotechnology, medical treatment, health, etc.

Abstract
If there was abundant fluorine in shotcrete, it might leach out and pollute the soil or migrate to corrode the reinforcement.Therefore, this research mainly investigated the basic properties of high-fluorine alkali free liquid accelerator (HF-AFA) and its occurrence forms in cement hydration products.The macro-test results showed that with the increase of HF-AFA dosage, it appeared excellent coagulation promoting property. However, when the HF-AFA dosage exceeded 7.0%, the 1d compressive strength of mortar was lower than 7.0 MPa. In addition, by measuring the early hydration heat of cement, C3A, C3S, C2S and C4AF pastes with and without HF-AFA, and combining XRD and SEM micro-analysis, the occurrence forms of fluorine in different clinker minerals were obtained.The final analysis results indicated that fluorine mainly existed in the form of CaF2, CaAlF5 and Ca2AlF7 crystals in C3A and C3S minerals, while only little CaF2 crystals appeared in C2S and C4AF minerals.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227885. [PMID: 36431986 PMCID: PMC9699450 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The mixing water used for cement concrete has a significant effect on the physical properties of the material after hardening; however, other than the upper limit for the mixed impurities, not enough consideration has been given to the functions and characteristics of water at the molecular level. In this study, we investigated the effect of four different types of water (two spring-, mineral waters, tap water and distilled water) on the drying shrinkage of the hardened cement by comparing the material properties of the concrete specimens and analyzing the molecular structure of the water and cement mortar using aquaphotomics. The near infrared (NIR) spectra of waters used for mixing were acquired in the transmittance mode using a high-precision, high-accuracy benchtop spectrometer in the range of 400-2500 nm, with the 0.5 nm step. The NIR spectra of cement paste and mortar were measured in 6.2 nm increments in the wavelength range of 950 nm to 1650 nm using a portable spectrometer. The measurements of cement paste and mortar were performed on Day 0 (immediately after mixing, cement paste), 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days after mixing (cement mortar). The spectral data were analyzed according to the aquaphotomics' multivariate analysis protocol, which involved exploration of raw and preprocessed spectra, exploratory analysis, discriminating analysis and aquagrams. The results of the aquaphotomics' analysis were interpreted together with the results of thermal and drying shrinkage measurements. Together, the findings clearly demonstrated that the thermal and drying shrinkage properties of the hardened cement material differed depending on the water used. Better mechanical properties were found to be a result of using mineral waters for cement mixing despite minute differences in the chemical content. In addition, the aquaphotomic characterization of the molecular structure of waters and cement mortar during the initial hydration reaction demonstrated the possibility to predict the characteristics of hardened cement at a very early stage. This provided the rationale to propose a novel evaluation method based on aquaphotomics for non-invasive evaluation and monitoring of cement mortar.

Abstract
In this study, the possibility of using mixing water containing O2 and O3 micro-nano bubbles (M-NBs) in concrete technology was investigated. In particular, the effect of micro-nano bubbles on the durability and frost resistance of concrete was analyzed. Concretes with two types of micro-nano bubbles were studied. The physical properties of both the modified concretes and the reference concrete were determined, i.e., specific and apparent density, porosity, weight absorption and coefficient of water absorption. Mechanical parameters based on compressive and flexural strength were tested after 14 and 28 days of curing. Concrete durability was determined on the basis of frost resistance and resistance to salt crystallization. The pore distribution in the cement matrix was determined based on porosimetry studies. The use of water with micro-nano bubbles of O2 and O3, among others, contributed to a reduction in the water absorption coefficient from 42.7% to 52.3%, in comparison to the reference concrete. The strength characterizing the concrete with O3 increased by 61% after 28 days, and the frost resistance after 150 F-T cycles increased by 2.4 times. Resistance to salt crystallization improved by 11% when water with O3 was used.
