禮與人之身心和諧是相契的, 這種契合的基本前提在於人心之和。船山認爲:先王制禮唯以求人心之和, 人心之和的途徑是以禮養之。禮以養人心之和乃船山身心和諧思想的邏輯起點:由人心之和, 則內外交相省察以使人之身心合義(宜)。船山和諧思想的邏輯路線表現爲由人之內心世界的和諧而發展到人之身心和諧。有禮則心泰而行亨, 無禮則心歉而行競, 治人之心莫急於禮。 Li (Rite) is compatible with the harmony between the human body and the mind. This compatibility is based on the harmony of the mind. Wang Chuan-shan thinks that the sage king established li precisely in order to pursue the harmony of the human mind; the way of realizing the harmony of the mind is only through self-cultivation based on li. This idea lays the foundation to the notion of the harmony between body and mind in Wang’s thought: The achievement of the harmony of the mind leads to a proper reflection of the inner and the outer, which in turn leads to the harmony between the body and the mind. This implies in Wang’s thought that the harmony at the physical level can be developed on the basis of the harmony at the mental level. [Article in Chinese]

Structure and Performances of xLiFePO4/C·(1 − x)Li3V2(PO4)3/C Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries by Using Poly(vinyl alcohol) as Carbon Source

Chang-ling Fan,Wei-hua Zhang,Tao-tao Zeng,Ling-fang Li,Xiang Zhang,Shao-chang Han 대한화학회 2015 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.36 No.11

Poly(vinyl alcohol), whose pyrolysis carbon possesses high conductivity of 8.88 × 10−1 S/cm, was used to synthesize xLiFePO4/C·(1 − x)Li3V2(PO4)3/C cathode. It was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, conductivity, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic charge and discharge experiments. Results show that LiFePO4/C and Li3V2(PO4)3/C coexists in the cathode. The particles sizes of 0.75LiFePO4/C·0.25Li3V2(PO4)3/C (x = 0.75) are much smaller than 100 nm due to the role of poly(vinyl alcohol). Its conductivity is 8.79 × 10−2 S/cm. The oxidative and reductive peaks in cyclic voltammetry are sharp and symmetrical. Their low potential gaps indicate that the extractions and insertions of lithium ion possess excellent reversibility. Its discharge capacities at 1 and 5 C are 141.1 and 100.1 mAh/g. The more Li3V2(PO4)3/C in cathode results in the deterioration of electrochemical performances due to its low theoretical capacity. It is concluded that poly(vinyl alcohol) is an effective carbon source in the preparation of xLiFePO4/C·(1 − x)Li3V2(PO4)3/C composite cathode with excellent performances.

Recently, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted increasing interest owing to their higher energy density and safety. As the core material of ASSBs, the characteristics of the solid electrolyte largely determine the performance of the battery. Thus far, a variety of inorganic solid electrolytes have been studied, including the NASICON-type, LISICON-type, perovskite-type, garnet-type, glassy solid electrolyte, and so on. The garnet Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) solid electrolyte is one of the most promising candidates because of its excellent comprehensively electrochemical performance. Both, experiments and theoretical calculations, show that cubic LLZO has high room-temperature ionic conductivity and good chemical stability while contacting with the lithium anode and most of the cathode materials. In this paper, the crystal structure, Li-ion transport mechanism, preparation method, and element doping of LLZO are introduced in detail based on the research progress in recent years. Then, the development prospects and challenges of LLZO as applied to ASSBs are discussed.

Xiao Ting Jin,Li Song,Xiang Yuan Liu,Hang Qing Li,Long Cheng,Zhuo Yu Li1,,Z. Y. Li 대한독성 유전단백체 학회 2017 Molecular & cellular toxicology Vol.13 No.2

Dichlorodiphenoxytrichloroethane (DDT), a persistent organic pollutant and hepatotoxicant, is used to control the malaria. However, scarce information exists on relevant effective inhibitors of DDT’ toxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate protective effects of natural antioxidants vitamin C (VC) or/and vitamin E (VE) on p,pʹ-DDT-induced genotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in human liver cells. p,pʹ-DDT exposure increased levels of chromatin condensation, comet parameter, micronucleus induction and DPC coefficient of HL-7702 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Also, an increase in mRNA levels of CYP1A1 as well as CYP3A4, and a decrease in UGT along with GST were observed. Interestingly, supplementation with VC or/and VE prevented p,pʹ-DDT-caused alterations in DNA damage and phase metabolism gene expressions, and the combination of VC and VE had a more protective effect than VC or VE alone. These findings illustrated that VC or/and VE could be beneficial for the alleviation of p,pʹ-DDT-incurred toxicity in human liver cells.

아스팔트의 노화 진행 과정의 특성과 아스팔트 혼합물의 노화 특성과의 관계에 대한 국내에서의 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 결합재인 아스팔트의 노화가 아스팔트 혼합물의 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 결합재로 사용된 폴리머 3종류와 골재 두 종류, 두 가지 입도, 두 종류의 아스팔트를 사용하여 32종류의 혼합물을 제조하고, 이를 다시 노화 전, 단기노화, 장기노화 처리하였다. 각각의 개질ㆍ비개질 아스팔트혼합물의 노화 과정의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 회복탄성계수실험(MR)과 간접인장강도실험(ITS)을 수행하였고, 추출ㆍ회수 후 바인더 특성시험(침입도, 동점도, 절대점도, GPC)을 수행하였다. 이를 다시 SAS를 이용하여 통계 분석하였다. 혼합물 시험에서 노화가 진행되어 감에 따라 회복탄성계수 및 간접인장강도는 크게 증가했다. 그리고 밀입도가 갭입도보다 강도 특성에서 크게 나타났고, 폴리머간의 비교에서 송진을 개빌한 바인더를 사용한 혼합물의 특성이 가장 우수하게 나타나 상온에서 가장 효과적인 개질재임을 알 수 있었다. 바인더 시험에서 골재 종류가 노화시 물성에 심각한 요인임을 알 수 있었고, 입도는 점도변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 폴리머는 아스팔트 자체의 노화에 영향을 미치지 않는 인자임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 GPC를 이용한 LMS 측정으로 추출ㆍ회수없이도 바인더 물성을 어느 정도 예측 할 수 있는 가능성을 나타냈다. 본 연구 결과 아스팔트 혼합물의 노화특성은 골재 종류, 입도, 개질재의 종류, 바인더의 종류 등의 다양한 요인에 의해 영향을 받는 상태에서 바인더의 특성 변화만으로 혼합물의 강도 특성 변화를 추정하는데는 어려움이 있음을 알 수 있었다. Asphalt concrete is a mixed product of asphalt binder and aggregates. Asphalt binder characteristics in asphalt mixture are changed due to aging of binder. Since asphalt mixture becomes stiffer and brittle due to age hardening of binder, mechanical properties of asphalt concrete are also a function of binder characteristics. However, the correlation of mixture mechanical property with asphalt (binder) property is not well known. This study dealt with evaluation of physical properties of asphalt binder, including polymer modified asphalt (PMA), and mechanical properties of asphalt mixture. The measured physical properties included absolute viscosity, kinematic viscosity, penetration, and LMS (large molecular size). The mechanical property included resilient modulus, indirect tensile strength and stiffness index. Statistical analyses were carried out to find out the factor(s) having a significant effect on change of physical and/or mechanical properties of asphalt mixture due to aging. A relatively high correlation was found from each physical property with stiffness index.

본 연구에서는 국내산 LDPE 및 SBS 폴리머를 아스팔트 함량의 3%, 4%, 5%와 카본블랙을 10% 사용하여 AP-3 아스팔트를 개질한 화강암, 편마암, 석회암 혼합물을 제조하고 그 특성의 변화를 고찰하였다. 폴리머는 3가지 골재 혼합물 모두에 전반적으로 인장강도와 강성의 증가를 가져오는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 그중 편마암에서는 그 효과가 비교적 적고 화강암과 석회암에 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 폴리머간 개질효과의 차이는 거의 없었으나 LDPE가 약간 높게 나타나 보였다. 카본 블랙의 사용은 폴리머 개질 혼합물의 경우에는 별로 효과적이지 못하였으나, 일반혼합물의 경우는 아스팔트의 강도특성에 영향을 미침임을 알 수 있었다. SBS and LDPE polymers with contents of 3%, 4%, 5% and a carbon black with content of 10% by wt. of asphalt were used in three aggregate mixtures, a gneiss, a granite and a limestone waste aggregates. Indirect tensile strength and stiffness index were evaluated for each mixture. The two polymers were effective on improving those strength characteristics for all three aggregate mixtures. Especially, limestone and granite aggregates were improved more than gneiss. Among two polymers, there were almost no difference in performance even though LDPE showed a little higher values. Carbon black improved the properties of plain asphalt mixtures, although it was not the case for the PMA mixtures.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>A series of photocrosslinkable multi-block poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers containing various block lengths of hydrophilic segments were synthesized. For comparison, a series of random poly(arylene ether) copolymers were also synthesized. The anion exchange membranes(AEMs) were fabricated and in-situ photocrosslinking was carried out by UV irradiation in a swollen state. The microphase-separated morphologies of the multi-block membranes were characterized by SAXS and TEM experiments, and the membrane properties were investigated by measuring ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake, water swelling ratio, ionic conductivity, methanol permeability and alkaline stability. IECs and water uptakes of the crosslinked multi-block membranes were in the range of 1.11–1.42 meq g<SUP>−1</SUP> and 14.36–31.01% at 20 °C, respectively. The hydroxide conductivity was in the range of 11.38–25.00 mS cm<SUP>−1</SUP> at 20 °C, and showed a maximum value of 178.77 mS cm<SUP>−1</SUP> at 100 °C. The multi-block membranes exhibited low methanol permeability (2.75 × 10<SUP>−7</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> s<SUP>−1</SUP>) at room temperature, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of Nafion® 117 (23.8 × 10<SUP>−7</SUP> cm<SUP>2</SUP> s<SUP>−1</SUP>). The crosslinked membranes showed excellent dimensional stability and alkaline stability with only a slight decrease in ionic conductivity.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Zero-valent iron (ZVI) was tested for the removal of 150 μg L<SUP>−1</SUP> As(V) and 350 μg L<SUP>−1</SUP> Se(VI) in high-salinity (ionic strength 0.35–4.10 M) flowback water of hydraulic fracturing. Over 90% As(V) and Se(VI) was removed by 2.5 g L<SUP>−1</SUP> ZVI in Day-14 flowback water up to 96-h reaction, with the remaining concentration below the maximum contaminant level for As(V) and criterion continuous concentration for Se(VI) recommended by US EPA. The kinetics of As(V) and Se(VI) removal followed a pseudo-second-order rate expression with the observed rates of 4.51 × 10<SUP>−2</SUP>–4.91 × 10<SUP>−1</SUP> and 3.48 × 10<SUP>−2</SUP>–6.58 × 10<SUP>−1</SUP> h<SUP>−1</SUP> (with 0.5–10 g L<SUP>−1</SUP> ZVI), respectively. The results showed that Se(VI) removal significantly decreased with increasing ionic strength, while As(V) removal showed little variation. Common competing anions (nitrate, bicarbonate, silicate, and phosphate), present in shallow groundwater and stormwater, caused marginal Se(VI) desorption (2.42 ± 0.13%) and undetectable As(V) desorption from ZVI. The competition between As(V) and Se(VI) for ZVI removal depended on the initial molar ratio and surface sites, which occurred when the Se(VI) concentration was higher than the As(V) concentration in this study. The characterization of As(V)- and Se(VI)-loaded ZVI by X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis revealed that ZVI gradually converted to magnetite/maghemite corrosion products with lepidocrocite in flowback water over 30 days. Similar corrosion compositions were confirmed in aerobic and anaerobic conditions regardless of the molar ratio of As(V) to Se(VI). The high reactivity and stability of ZVI showed its suitability for <I>in-situ</I> prevention of As(V) and Se(VI) migration due to accidental leakage, spillage, or overflow of flowback water.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> As(V) and Se(VI) in high-salinity flowback water was effectively removed by ZVI. </LI> <LI> As(V) removal was less susceptible to ionic strength variations than Se(V). </LI> <LI> Competing anions in groundwater and stormwater caused insignificant desorption. </LI> <LI> As(V) and Se(VI) competition depended on their molar ratio and ZVI surface sites. </LI> <LI> Surface characteristics of ZVI were unaffected by molar ratio and dissolved oxygen. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Interactions of food waste compost with metals and metal-chelant complexes during soil remediation

Beiyuan, Jingzi,Tsang, Daniel C.W.,Bolan, Nanthi S.,Baek, Kitae,Ok, Yong Sik,Li, Xiang-Dong Elsevier 2018 JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION Vol.192 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>For removing potentially toxic elements (PTEs) from field-contaminated soils, cost-effective soil remediation has been a worldwide concern. As one of the widely employed techniques, chelant-enhanced phytoremediation can remove PTEs with marginal impact on the soil properties, yet the newly formed metal-chelant complexes cannot be completely captured and extracted by the plants. This arouses concerns about downstream migration and secondary contamination of the metal-chelant complexes and free chelant. Organic amendments, such as food waste compost (FWC), may stabilize metals and/or metal-chelant complexes, improve soil properties and plant growth, and reduce waste volume. Therefore, FWC may provide a solution for the migration of metal-chelant complexes and free chelant. Two chelants were selected in this study: EDTA (ethylene-diaminetetraacetic-acid) and its biodegradable isomer EDDS ([<I>S,S</I>]-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid). The interactions between FWC and metals, metal-EDTA/metal-EDDS complexes in a field-contaminated soil (mainly by Cu, Zn, and Pb) were investigated. Batch adsorption isotherms indicated a strong adsorption capacity of FWC for uncomplexed Cu, Zn, and Pb ions. Significant adsorption of Pb-EDDS (∼100%), Zn-EDDS (>77%), and Cu-EDTA (36–76%) complexes on the FWC was found at apparent equilibrium. The adsorption capacity of Cu-EDDS (32–38%), Pb-EDTA (∼20%), and Zn-EDTA (∼0%) complexes was limited. However, the co-existence of FWC and EDDS increased the mobilization of Cu and Zn, while the co-existence of FWC and EDTA reduced the available amounts of Cu and Pb in solution. Metal speciation calculation showed that nearly all extracted Cu, Zn, and Pb were complexed with chelants in the solution, while notable amount of dissolved Fe (but not Al and Ca) was associated with dissolved organic matter. In this study, FWC can be useful for minimizing the unintended leaching of Cu- and Pb-EDTA complexes in EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation, yet it might be less suitable for the case of EDDS. A novel integration of recycled waste can enhance the effectiveness of sustainable remediation of contaminated soils.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Large amounts of dissolved organic matter released from food waste compost (FWC). </LI> <LI> Cu, Zn, and Pb ions significantly adsorbed to FWC. </LI> <LI> Yet metal-EDDS/EDTA complexes showed diverse adsorption behaviours on FWC. </LI> <LI> Cu-EDDS complexes can be adsorbed to FWC yet the Cu mobility increased with FWC. </LI> <LI> FMC-derived DOM mitigated the EDTA-induced solubilization of Cu and Pb in soil. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Insights into the subsurface transport of As(V) and Se(VI) in produced water from hydraulic fracturing using soil samples from Qingshankou Formation, Songliao Basin, China

Chen, Season S.,Sun, Yuqing,Tsang, Daniel C.W.,Graham, Nigel J.D.,Ok, Yong Sik,Feng, Yujie,Li, Xiang-Dong Elsevier 2017 Environmental pollution Vol.223 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Produced water is a type of wastewater generated from hydraulic fracturing, which may pose a risk to the environment and humans due to its high ionic strength and the presence of elevated concentrations of metals/metalloids that exceed maximum contamination levels. The mobilization of As(V) and Se(VI) in produced water and selected soils from Qingshankou Formation in the Songliao Basin in China were investigated using column experiments and synthetic produced water whose quality was representative of waters arising at different times after well creation. Temporal effects of produced water on metal/metalloid transport and sorption/desorption were investigated by using HYDRUS-1D transport modelling. Rapid breakthrough and long tailings of As(V) and Se(VI) transport were observed in Day 1 and Day 14 solutions, but were reduced in Day 90 solution probably due to the elevated ionic strength. The influence of produced water on the hydrogeological conditions (i.e., change between equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport) was evidenced by the change of tracer breakthrough curves before and after the leaching of produced water. This possibly resulted from the sorption of polyacrylamide (PAM (-CH<SUB>2</SUB>CHCONH<SUB>2</SUB>-)<SUB>n</SUB>) onto soil surfaces, through its use as a friction reducer in fracturing solutions. The sorption was found to be reversible in this study. Minimal amounts of sorbed As(V) were desorbed whereas the majority of sorbed Se(VI) was readily leached out, to an extent which varied with the composition of the produced water. These results showed that the mobilization of As(V) and Se(VI) in soil largely depended on the solution pH and ionic strength. Understanding the differences in metal/metalloid transport in produced water is important for proper risk management.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Earlier breakthrough of metals with increasing ionic strength of flowback solutions. </LI> <LI> Two-region physical non-equilibrium model provided a good fit of metal transport. </LI> <LI> Less non-equilibrium transport in Day 14 and Day 90 than Day 1 flowback solutions. </LI> <LI> Tracer tests indicated reversible change of transport channels due to leaching. </LI> <LI> Sorption/desorption of As(V) and Se(VI) was both pH- and ionic strength-dependent. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
