In this study, waste catering oil was processed into a gel (NJ), sesame straw was processed into biochar (ZM), and the two were modified with zinc oxide nanoparticles and phosphoric acid to form NJZ and ZMP, respectively. Both materials were then coupled to obtain a polymer gel-biochar composite (N-Z). The materials were characterised by infrared spectros ...

This article argues for a pluralization of the "platform capitalism" framework, suggesting we should think instead in terms of "platform capitalisms." This pluralization opens the way to a better account of how platforms work in different geocultural contexts, with our focus being on China, India and Japan. The article first outlines several roles the sta ...

Chromium, being among the most toxic heavy metals, continues to demand immediate attention in the remediation of Cr-contaminated environments. In this study, a strain of LBA36 (Bacillus toyonensis) was isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, China. The reduction and adsorption rates of LBA36 in 30 mg·L-1 Cr-containin ...

The ground-state equilibrium geometries, electronic structures and vertical excitation energies of methyl- and methoxyl-substituted phenol radical cations and phenoxyl radicals have been investigated using time-dependent density-functional theory (namely TD-B3LYP) and complete-active-space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The "anomalous" large r ...

Cr(VI) has been a carcinogen for organisms and a hazard to human health throughout the food chain. To explore a cost-effective and efficient method for removing Cr(VI), a Cr-resistant strain named LBA108 was isolated from the soil of a molybdenum-lead mining area. It was identified as Microbacterium through biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequence analysis ...
