Unlocking the potential of biochar: an iron-phosphorus-based composite modified adsorbent for adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in aqueous environments and response surface optimization of adsorption conditions.

In this work, iron-phosphorus based composite biochar (FPBC) was prepared by modification with potassium phosphate and iron oxides for the removal of heavy metal ions from single and mixed heavy metal (Pb and Cd) solutions. FTIR and XPS characterization experiments showed that the novel modified biochar had a greater number of surface functional groups compared to the pristine biochar. The maximum adsorption capacities of FPBC for Pb(II) and Cd(II) were 211.66 mg·g-1 and 94.08 mg·g-1 at 293 K. The adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by FPBC followed the proposed two-step adsorption kinetic model and the Freundlich isothermal adsorption model, suggesting that the mechanism of adsorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) by FPBC involved chemical adsorption of multiple layers. Mechanistic studies showed that the introduction of -PO4 and -PO3 chemisorbed with Pb(II) and Cd(II), and the introduction of -Fe-O increased the ion exchange with Pb(II) and Cd(II) during the adsorption process and produced precipitates such as Pb3Fe(PO4)3 and Cd5Fe2(P2O7)4. Additionally, the abundant -OH and -COOH groups also participated in the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II). In addition, FPBC demonstrated strong selective adsorption of Pb(II) in mixed heavy metal solutions. The Response Surface Methodology(RSM) analysis determined the optimal adsorption conditions for FPBC as pH 5.31, temperature 26.01 °C, and Pb(II) concentration 306.30 mg·L-1 for Pb(II). Similarly, the optimal adsorption conditions for Cd(II) were found to be pH 5.66, temperature 39.34 °C, and Cd(II) concentration 267.68 mg·L-1. Therefore, FPBC has the potential for application as a composite-modified adsorbent for the adsorption of multiple heavy metal ions.

Designing a Novel Wide Bandgap Small Molecule Guest for Enhanced Stability and Morphology Mediation in Ternary Organic Solar Cells with over 19.3% Efficiency.

In this study, a novel wide-bandgap small molecule guest material, ITOA, designed and synthesized for fabricating efficient ternary organic solar cells (OSCs) ITOA complements the absorbance of the PM6:Y6 binary system, exhibiting strong crystallinity and modest miscibility. ITOA optimizes the morphology by promoting intensive molecular packing, reducing domain size, and establishing a preferred vertical phase distribution. These features contribute to improved and well-balanced charge transport, suppressed carrier recombination, and efficient exciton dissociation. Consequently, a significantly enhanced efficiency of 18.62% for the ternary device is achieved, accompanied by increased short-circuit current density (JSC), fill factor (FF), and open-circuit voltage (VOC). Building on this success, replacing Y6 with BTP-eC9 leads to an outstanding PCE of 19.33% for the ternary OSCs. Notably, the introduction of ITOA expedites the formation of the optimized morphology, resulting in an impressive PCE of 18.04% for the ternary device without any postprocessing. Moreover, the ternary device exhibits enhanced operational stability under maximum power point (MPP) tracking. This comprehensive study demonstrates that a rationally designed guest molecule can optimize morphology, reduce energy loss, and streamline the fabrication process, essential for achieving high efficiency and stability in OSCs, paving the way for practical commercial applications.

Comparative Analysis of Bisexual and Parthenogenetic Populations in Haemaphysalis Longicornis.

Haemaphysalis longicornis, a three-host tick with a wide host range, is widely distributed in different countries and regions. It stands out among ticks due to its unique feature of having both parthenogenetic and bisexual populations. Despite their morphological resemblance, the characteristics of the parthenogenetic population have been overlooked. In this comprehensive study, we systematically compared the similarities and differences between these two populations. Our investigation revealed that the parthenogenetic H. longicornis, widely distributed in China, was found in ten provinces, surpassing the previously reported distribution. Notably, individuals from the parthenogenetic population exhibited a prolonged blood-feeding duration during the larval and nymph stages compared to their bisexual counterparts. Additionally, the life cycle of the parthenogenetic population was observed to be longer. A flow cytometry analysis indicated a DNA content ratio of approximately 2:3 between the bisexual and parthenogenetic populations. A phylogenetic analysis using whole mitochondrial genome sequences resulted in the separation of the phylogenetic tree into two distinct branches. A molecular analysis unveiled a consistent single T-base deletion at nucleotide 8497 in the parthenogenetic population compared to the bisexual population. Both populations displayed high viral infection capability and significant resistance to ivermectin. Intriguingly, despite these differences, the parthenogenetic population exhibited a similar life cycle to the bisexual population, retaining the ability to transmit pathogens such as Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) and Heartland Virus (HRTV). These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the distinct characteristics and similarities between different populations of H. longicornis, laying the foundation for future research in this field.

Central precocious puberty in a boy with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy caused by a novel ABCD1 mutation.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene. The symptoms include primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI), progressive spinal cord disease, inflammatory demyelinating cerebral disease, and primary hypogonadism. It is exceptionally rare that pediatric PAI is accompanied by central precocious puberty (CPP). The purpose of this study was to better understand the diversity of clinical manifestations of X-ALD and to identify the ABCD1 gene mutation in a case of a boy with X-ALD accompanied by CPP. We collected clinical, laboratory and imaging data, and used whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis to evaluate the pathogenicity of the variant. We also predicted the potential deleterious effects of the novel mutation using Mutation Taster and generated three-dimensional protein structures using Swiss-Model and PyMOL Viewer software. The patient presented with PAI accompanied by CPP. Adrenal gland CT revealed adrenal hypoplasia. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation tests revealed CPP. WES revealed a novel variant (c.1376dup) in the ABCD1 gene, which resulted in a reading frameshift and a premature termination codon (p.Leu461ProfsTer95). Sanger sequencing confirmed that the variant was inherited from his heterozygous mother. Mutation Taster predicted that the variant could be harmful. The overall three-dimensional structures of the mutant wild-type proteins were visually distinct. Our results shed light on additional aspects of X-ALD. The premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis may possibly be related to the pathogenic ABCD1 gene mutation.

Targeted Linked-Read Sequencing for Direct Haplotype Phasing of Parental GJB2/SLC26A4 Alleles: A Universal and Dependable Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis Method Applied to Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss in At-Risk Families.

Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) for autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) has been rarely reported until recent years. However, the previous method could not be performed on challenging genome loci (eg, copy number variations, deletions, inversions, or gene recombinants) or on families without proband genotype. Here, this study assesses the performance of relative haplotype dosage analysis (RHDO)-based NIPD for identifying fetal genotyping in pregnancies at risk of ARNSHL. Fifty couples carrying pathogenic variants associated with ARNSHL in either GJB2 or SLC26A4 were recruited. The RHDO-based targeted linked-read sequencing combined with whole gene coverage probes was used to genotype the fetal cell-free DNA of 49 families who met the quality control standard. Fetal amniocyte samples were genotyped using invasive prenatal diagnosis (IPD) to assess the performance of NIPD. The NIPD results showed 100% (49/49) concordance with those obtained through IPD. Two families with copy number variation and recombination were also successfully identified. Sufficient specific informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms for haplotyping, as well as the fetal cell-free DNA concentration and sequencing depth, are prerequisites for RHDO-based NIPD. This method has the merits of covering the entire genes of GJB2 and SLC26A4, qualifying for copy number variation and recombination analysis with remarkable sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it has clinical potential as an alternative to traditional IPD for ARNSHL.

Potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies against sarbecoviruses induced by sequential COVID-19 vaccination.

The current SARS-CoV-2 variants strikingly evade all authorized monoclonal antibodies and threaten the efficacy of serum-neutralizing activity elicited by vaccination or prior infection, urging the need to develop antivirals against SARS-CoV-2 and related sarbecoviruses. Here, we identified both potent and broadly neutralizing antibodies from a five-dose vaccinated donor who exhibited cross-reactive serum-neutralizing activity against diverse coronaviruses. Through single B-cell sorting and sequencing followed by a tailor-made computational pipeline, we successfully selected 86 antibodies with potential cross-neutralizing ability from 684 antibody sequences. Among them, PW5-570 potently neutralized all SARS-CoV-2 variants that arose prior to Omicron BA.5, and the other three could broadly neutralize all current SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, SARS-CoV and their related sarbecoviruses (Pangolin-GD, RaTG13, WIV-1, and SHC014). Cryo-EM analysis demonstrates that these antibodies have diverse neutralization mechanisms, such as disassembling spike trimers, or binding to RBM or SD1 to affect ACE2 binding. In addition, prophylactic administration of these antibodies significantly protects nasal turbinate and lung infections against BA.1, XBB.1, and SARS-CoV viral challenge in golden Syrian hamsters, respectively. Importantly, post-exposure treatment with PW5-5 and PW5-535 also markedly protects against XBB.1 challenge in these models. This study reveals the potential utility of computational process to assist screening cross-reactive antibodies, as well as the potency of vaccine-induced broadly neutralizing antibodies against current SARS-CoV-2 variants and related sarbecoviruses, offering promising avenues for the development of broad therapeutic antibody drugs.

Identification of a novel heterozygous PTH1R variant in a Chinese family with incomplete penetrance.

BACKGROUND: Mutations in PTH1R are associated with Jansen-type metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC), Blomstrand osteochondrodysplasia (BOCD), Eiken syndrome, enchondroma, and primary failure of tooth eruption (PFE). Inheritance of the PTH1R gene can be either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, indicating the complexity of the gene. Our objective was to identify the phenotypic differences in members of a family with a novel PTH1R mutation. METHODS: The proband was a 13-year, 6-month-old girl presenting with short stature, abnormal tooth eruption, skeletal dysplasia, and midface hypoplasia. The brother and father of the proband presented with short stature and abnormal tooth eruption. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the proband, and the variant was confirmed in the proband and other family members by Sanger sequencing. Amino acid sequence alignment was performed using ClustalX software. Three-dimensional structures were analyzed and displayed using the I-TASSER website and PyMOL software. RESULTS: High-throughput genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing validation showed that the proband, her father, and her brother all carried the PTH1R (NM_000316) c.1393G>A (p.E465K) mutation. The c.1393G>A (p.E465K) mutation was novel, as it has not been reported in the literature database. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, the p.E465K variant was considered to have uncertain significance. Biological information analysis demonstrated that this identified variant was highly conserved and highly likely pathogenic. CONCLUSIONS: We identified a novel heterozygous mutation in the PTH1R gene leading to clinical manifestations with incomplete penetrance that expands the spectrum of known PTH1R mutations.

Spillover and spillback: Linking daily job insecurity to next-day counterproductive work behavior.

Spillover effect theory posits that work stressors can have spillover effects into workers' home lives. Although job insecurity spillover into the home domain has been explored extensively, potential spillback effects into the work domain have not. We posit that daily job insecurity represents a negative subjective perception that can spillover into the home domain and lead to insomnia, which will damage the recovery of self-regulatory resources and make employees unable to regulate their own behavior, ultimately resulting in next-day counterproductive work behavior. We hypothesized that self-compassion, as an individual trait, weakens the spillover effect of job insecurity and moderates the indirect effect of job insecurity on next-day counterproductive work behavior via insomnia. Our analyses of data collected from 132 full-time employees across 10 consecutive working days showed that insomnia mediates the relationship between daily job insecurity and next-day counterproductive work behavior, and further showed that this relationship was moderated by self-compassion. Overall, our research captures the cascading effects of daily job insecurity and contributes to a more complete understanding of the spillover effect of job insecurity.

Enhanced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.2.86 and XBB sub-lineages by a tetravalent COVID-19 vaccine booster.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 sub-lineages like XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, EG.5, HK.3 (FLip), and XBB.2.3 and the variant BA.2.86 have recently been identified. Understanding the efficacy of current vaccines on these emerging variants is critical. We evaluate the serum neutralization activities of participants who received COVID-19 inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac), those who received the recently approved tetravalent protein vaccine (SCTV01E), or those who had contracted a breakthrough infection with BA.5/BF.7/XBB virus. Neutralization profiles against a broad panel of 30 sub-lineages reveal that BQ.1.1, CH.1.1, and all the XBB sub-lineages exhibit heightened resistance to neutralization compared to previous variants. However, despite their extra mutations, BA.2.86 and the emerging XBB sub-lineages do not demonstrate significantly increased resistance to neutralization over XBB.1.5. Encouragingly, the SCTV01E booster consistently induces higher neutralizing titers against all these variants than breakthrough infection does. Cellular immunity assays also show that the SCTV01E booster elicits a higher frequency of virus-specific memory B cells. Our findings support the development of multivalent vaccines to combat future variants.

Correlation between Flow Temperature and Average Molar Ionic Potential of Ash during Gasification of Coal and Phosphorus-Rich Biomass.

The co-gasification of biomass and coal is helpful for achieving the clean and efficient utilization of phosphorus-rich biomass. A large number of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) present in the ash system of coal (or biomass) cause varying degrees of ash, slagging, and corrosion problems in the entrained flow gasifier. Meanwhile, phosphorus is present in the slag in the form of PO43-, which has a strong affinity for AAEMs (especially for Ca2+) to produce minerals dominated by calcium phosphates or alkaline Ca-phosphate, effectively mitigating the aforementioned problems. To investigate the changing behavior of the slag flow temperature (FT) under different CaO/P2O5 ratios, 72 synthetic ashes with varying CaO/P2O5 ratios at different Si/Al contents and compositions were prepared, and their ash fusion temperatures were tested. The effects of different CaO/P2O5 ratios on the FT were analyzed using FactSage thermodynamic simulation. A model for predicting slag FT at different CaO/P2O5 ratios was constructed on the basis of the average molar ionic potential (Ia) method and used to predict data reported from 19 mixed ashes in the literature. The results showed that Ia and FT gradually increased with a decreasing CaO/P2O5 ratio, and the main mineral types shifted from anorthite → mullite → berlinite, which reasonably explained the decrease in ash fusion temperatures in the mixed ash. The established model showed good adaptability to the prediction of 19 actual coal ash FTs in the literature; the deviation of the prediction was in the range of 40 °C. The model proposed between FT and Ia based on the different CaO/P2O5 ratios can be used to predict the low-rank coal and phosphorus-rich biomass and their mixed ashes.

The cross-level effect of team safety-specific transformational leadership on workplace safety behavior: The serial mediating role of team safety climate and team safety motivation.

INTRODUCTION: Workplace safety not only impairs individual health but also affects economic and social development. METHOD: Based on social learning theory, collective social learning theory, and expectancy-valence theory, using cluster random sampling method, 630 employees from 66 different work teams out of around 800 employees in a domestic petroleum enterprise were selected to participate in the research. The safety-specific transformational leadership, safety climate, safety motivation and workplace safety behavior scales were used. Data were collected in two stages. SPSS22.0 and Mplus7.0 were used to analyze the data to explore the relationship between team safety-specific transformational leadership and workplace safety behavior, as well as the serial mediating effect of team safety climate and team safety motivation. RESULTS: The results showed that: (a) team safety-specific transformational leadership can positively influence safety compliance and safety participation; (b) team safety climate mediates the relationship between team safety-specific transformational leadership and safety compliance and safety participation; (c) team safety motivation mediates the relationship between team safety-specific transformational leadership and safety compliance and safety participation; and (d) team safety climate and team safety motivation play a serial mediating role between team safety-specific transformational leadership and safety compliance and safety participation. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This research has both theoretical and practical significance.

Distinct resting-state effective connectivity of large-scale networks in first-episode and recurrent major depression disorder: evidence from the REST-meta-MDD consortium.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown disrupted effective connectivity in the large-scale brain networks of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it is unclear whether these changes differ between first-episode drug-naive MDD (FEDN-MDD) and recurrent MDD (R-MDD). Methods: This study utilized resting-state fMRI data from 17 sites in the Chinese REST-meta-MDD project, consisting of 839 patients with MDD and 788 normal controls (NCs). All data was preprocessed using a standardized protocol. Then, we performed a granger causality analysis to calculate the effectivity connectivity (EC) within and between brain networks for each participant, and compared the differences between the groups. Results: Our findings revealed that R-MDD exhibited increased EC in the fronto-parietal network (FPN) and decreased EC in the cerebellum network, while FEDN-MDD demonstrated increased EC from the sensorimotor network (SMN) to the FPN compared with the NCs. Importantly, the two MDD subgroups displayed significant differences in EC within the FPN and between the SMN and visual network. Moreover, the EC from the cingulo-opercular network to the SMN showed a significant negative correlation with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) score in the FEDN-MDD group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that first-episode and recurrent MDD have distinct effects on the effective connectivity in large-scale brain networks, which could be potential neural mechanisms underlying their different clinical manifestations.

Aryl Chloride-Directed Enantioselective C(sp2)-H Borylation Enabled by Iridium Catalysis.

We herein report the iridium-catalyzed enantioselective C-H borylation of aryl chlorides. A variety of prochiral biaryl compounds could be well-tolerated, affording a vast array of axially chiral biaryls with high enantioselectivities. The current method exhibits a high turnover number (TON) of 7000, which represents the highest in functional-group-directed asymmetric C-H activation. The high TON was attributed to a weak catalyst-substrate interaction that was caused by mismatched chirality between catalyst and substrate. We also demonstrated the synthetic application of the current method by C-B, ortho-C-H, and C-Cl bond functionalization, including programmed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling for the synthesis of axially chiral polyarenes.

In Vitro Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Could Be Abolished by Adding Human IgG.

Evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of other viruses has raised concerns about the safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and antibody therapeutics. In vitro studies have shown ADE of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study, we also found that vaccination/convalescent sera and some approved monoclonal antibodies can enhance SARS-CoV-2 infection of FcR-expressing B cells in vitro. However, the enhancement of SARS-CoV-2 infection can be prevented by blocking Fc-FcR interaction through the addition of human serum/IgG or the introduction of mutations in the Fc portion of the antibody. It should be noted that ADE activity observed on FcR-expressing cells in vitro may not necessarily reflect the situation in vivo; therefore, animal and clinical data should be included for ADE evaluation.

Benchmark Study of Density Functional Theory Methods in Geometry Optimization of Transition Metal-Dinitrogen Complexes.

The current benchmark study is focused on determining the most precise theoretical method for optimizing the geometry of transition metal-dinitrogen complexes. To accomplish this goal, seven density functional (DF) methods from five distinct classes of density functional theory (DFT) have been selected, including B3LYP-D3(BJ), BP86-D3(BJ), PBE0-D3(BJ), ωB97X-D, M06, M06-L, and TPSSh-D3(BJ). These DFs will be utilized with the Karlsruhe basis set (def2-SVP). To carry out this benchmark study, a total of forty-two structurally diverse transition metal-dinitrogen compounds with experimentally known X-ray data have been selected from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). Based on a comparison of the theoretical data with experimental values (X-ray) of the selected transition metal-dinitrogen compounds, statistical parameters such as root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and N-N and M-N bond lengths are obtained to evaluate the performance of the seven chosen DFs. According to the obtained results, among all DFT methods used in the study, Minnesota functionals (M06 and M06-L) and TPSSh-D3(BJ) show good performance, with lower RMSD values. This suggests that these three methods are the most reliable for optimizing the geometry of transition metal-dinitrogen complexes. Based on the absolute errors of the N-N and M-N bond lengths relative to the X-ray data, further analysis is conducted, and it is determined that M06-L is the best functional for optimizing the geometry of transition metal-dinitrogen compounds. Additionally, the influence of using a high-level basis set (def2-TZVP) compared to def2-SVP on the calculated RMSD among the seven chosen methods is found to be negligible.

All-Polymer Solar Cells Sequentially Solution Processed from Hydrocarbon Solvent with a Thick Active Layer.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have gained increasing attention. Among the various directions in OSCs, all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have emerged as a highly promising and currently active research area due to their excellent film formation properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stabilities. However, most of the high-efficiency all-PSCs are processed from chloroform with an active layer thickness of ~100 nm. In order to meet the requirements for industrialization, a thicker active layer processed from low-vapor pressure solvents (preferentially a hydrocarbon solvent) is strongly desired. Herein, we employ toluene (a hydrocarbon solvent with a much higher boiling point than chloroform) and a method known as sequential processing (SqP) to mitigate the rapid decline in efficiency with increasing film thickness. We show that SqP enables a more favorable vertical phase segregation that leads to less trap-assisted recombination and enhanced charge extraction and lifetime than blend-cast devices at higher film thicknesses.

Exploring the humification process of municipal sludge in hyperthermophilic composting through metagenomic and untargeted metabolomic.

Hyperthermophilic composting (HC) has been widely recognized for the advantage of high treatment efficiency for organic wastes. However, the humification process is still unclear. In this study, the humification process of HC was investigated, compared to conventional composting (CK). The results showed that the highest composting temperature, organic matter degradation rate, and humification index in HC were 92.62 °C, 23.98%, and 1.59, while those in CK were 70.23 °C, 14.49 %, and 1.04, indicating HC accelerated humification process. Moreover, the results of metagenomic and untargeted metabolomic showed that the genes and metabolisms related to carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, fatty acid, and nucleotide were more abundant in HC. Consequently, the metabolic pathways regarding organic matter degradation and microbial reproduction were enhanced in the high temperature stage of HC, further accelerating the humification reaction in the low temperature stage. This work contributes to the comprehension of the humification mechanism in HC.

Two-Dimensional Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Improving the Performance of Organic Solar Cells.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted lots of attention owing to their low cost, lightweight, and flexibility properties. Nowadays, the performance of OSCs is continuously improving with the development of active layer materials. However, the traditional hole transport layer (HTL) material Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) presents insufficient conductivity and rapid degradation, which decreases the efficiency and stability of OSCs. To conquer the challenge, the two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanomaterials incorporated into the PEDOT:PSS as hybrid HTL are reported. The addition of g-C3N4 into PEDOT:PSS enables the thickness of the HTL to decrease for enhancing the transmittance of the film and increase the conductivity of PEDOT:PSS. Thus, the device exhibts improved charge transport and suppressed carrier recombination, leading to the increase in short-circuit current density and power conversion efficiency of the devices. This work demonstrates that the incorporation of 2D g-C3N4 into PEDOT:PSS for D18:Y6 and PM6:L8-BO-based OSCs can significantly improve the device efficiency to 17.48% and 18.47% with the enhancement of 7.04% and 8.46%, respectively.

Fe(II)/LXQ-10 bifunctional resin materials for boosting synergistic adsorption/oxidation of benzene in industrial waste gas.

A series of adsorption/oxidation bifunctional material with different Fe(II) loading amounts was prepared by using ultrahigh crosslinking adsorption resin (LXQ-10) as a carrier and FeCl2 as an impregnating solution. The bifunctional material was characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, XPS, and EPR. The effects of Fe loading, reaction temperature, and space velocity on benzene adsorption efficiency were investigated using self-made experimental equipment to explore the optimal reaction condition. The adsorption results were fitted and analyzed by using four typical models: the quasi-first-order kinetic model, the quasi-second-order kinetic model, Elovich's kinetic model, and the Weber and Morris kinetic model. The quasi-first-order kinetic model had the highest R2 value (0.998) and the best applicability. The fitting effect of the Freundlich equation (R2 = 0.997) was better than that of the Langmuir equation (R2 = 0.919). Furthermore, the effects of Fe loading, H2O2 concentration, benzene inlet concentration, and temperature on the catalytic oxidation efficiency of benzene were studied. The catalytic oxidation efficiency of 3-Fe(II)/LXQ-10 was maintained at about 95% at a temperature of 303 K and an H2O2 concentration of 150 mmol/L. Compared with the adsorption efficiency, the catalytic oxidation efficiency of bifunctional resin materials in a heterogeneous Fenton system was remarkably improved and had excellent stability. A possible migration and transformation path during benzene removal was proposed according to the results of the analysis of GC-MS intermediates. This study provided a novel process for the adsorption and oxidative degradation of VOCs.
