Abstract
The world has faced climate change that affects hydrology and thermal systems in the aquatic environment resulting in temperature changes, which directly affect the aquatic ecosystem. Elevated water temperature influences the physico-chemical properties of chemicals in freshwater ecosystems leading to disturbing living organisms. Owing to the industrial revolution, the mass production of zinc oxide (ZnO) has been led to contaminated environments, and therefore, the toxicological effects of ZnO become more concerning under climate change scenarios. A comprehensive understanding of its toxicity influenced by main factors driven by climate change is indispensable. This review summarized the detrimental effects of ZnO with a single ZnO exposure and combined it with key climate change-associated factors in many aspects (i.e., oxidative stress, energy reserves, behavior and life history traits). Moreover, this review tried to point out ZnO kinetic behavior and corresponding mechanisms which pose a problem of observed detrimental effects correlated with the alteration of elevated temperature.

Abstract
Metal single-atom catalysts are promising in electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). The pores and cavities of the supports can promote the exposure of active sites and mass transfer of reactants, hence improve their performance. Here, iron oxalate is added to ZIF-8 and subsequently form hollow carbon nanocages during calcination. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure is studied in depth by controlling variables during synthesis. Kirkendall effect is the main reason for the formation of hollow porous carbon nanocages. The hollow porous carbon nanocages with Fe single atoms exhibit better CO2 RR activity and CO selectivity. The diffusion of CO2 facilitated by the mesoporous structure of carbon nanocage results in their superior activity and selectivity. This work has raised an effective strategy for the synthesis of hollow carbon nanomaterials, and provides a feasible pathway for the rational design of electrocatalysts for small molecule activation.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16093481. [PMID: 37176363 PMCID: PMC10180441 DOI: 10.3390/ma16093481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Zinc-containing dust can be found in ironmaking and steelmaking, and it is an important secondary resource of zinc. Zinc-containing dust from an electric furnace was used as a raw material to study the phase transformation behavior of the dust using a calcification roasting process and the zinc-iron separation behavior by using ammonia leaching. The zinc-bearing dust was mixed with CaO and roasted to transform the zinc ferrite into zinc oxide. The results showed that increasing the calcium oxide to dust ratio could promote the conversion of zinc ferrite to zinc oxide. When the calcium oxide ratio reached 60%, the peak of zinc ferrite in the calcined-roasted product in the zinc-containing dust basically disappeared. As the temperature increased, the zinc oxide grains increased but were still smaller than 10 µm. The calcined-roasted product was crushed and ground, and the zinc was leached by ammonia. A zinc-iron recovery rate of 86.12% was achieved by the ammonia leaching. The leachate could be used for zinc extraction by electrolysis. The leaching residue was mainly calcium ferrate, which could be used in sintering production. The proposed process may achieve on-site recovery of zinc-containing dust in steel-making plants.

Abstract
Abstract
In this work, a new hydrometallurgical process was developed to treat zinc ash produced from the hot galvanizing industry. The theoretical analysis shows the feasibility of dissolving zinc ash in the NH3–NH4Cl–H2O system, and the dissolution products are predominantly composed of Zn (NH3)4
2+. The impacts of different experimental conditions were examined, and the leaching ratio of zinc was as high as 96.4% under the conditions of NH3/NH4
+ ratio of 1:1, liquid/solid of 9:1, total ammonia concentration of 8 mol/L and the stirring speed of 250 rpm at 313 K for 120 min. The kinetics of the leaching process were investigated and the calculated apparent activation energy was approximately 4.69 kJ/mol, which indicated that the zinc ash leaching process was controlled by diffusion-controlled. As revealed by the determination of impurity ions, on one hand, there were fewer impurities in the leaching solution, and the concentrations of Fe2+ and Pb2+ in solution are less than 0.02 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L respectively; on the other hand, there was no need for further impurity removal in this process. The proposed process has a certain application value in treating zinc ash.
