Persulfate
activated by carbon catalysts raised tremendous attention
as a promising approach for degrading organic contaminants because
the nonradical species produced can resist the interference of background
substances. However, due to the complex and diverse structures of
carbon catalysts, the reported peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation
mechanisms are varied. Herein, we used fabricated N-doped carbon nanotubes
with a simple one-dimensional structure as a model catalyst to reveal
the nature of PMS activation by carbon catalysts. The graphitic-N
was identified as the active center to play a dominant role via structure–activity
relationship analysis and density functional theory (DFT). Moreover,
electron paramagnetic resonance, radical scavenging tests, and in
situ Raman spectra demonstrated that the generated common reactive
oxygen species did not contribute to carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation,
but the electron transfer process directly oxidized the organic. Fortunately,
the direct electron transfer pathway could quickly and simultaneously
degrade various organics (including CBZ, sulfamethoxazole, bisphenol
A, diclofenac, and tetracycline). In addition, the nature of degradation
differences of various organics was revealed through the Fukui function
calculated by DFT. This work revealed the mechanism of PMS activation
by graphitic-N to produce mediated electron transfer pathways and
provided an insight into the decomposition difference of various organic
contaminants.
The spatial layout of urban villages seriously affects the living environment and integrated development of urban and rural areas. Using digital means to assist in the reconstruction of urban villages is necessary and urgent. This study built an urban renewal framework for intelligent building planning with a proposed multi-party collaborative pattern. First, villagers’ needs, and relevant standards and regulations were merged into planning requirements, which were formulated into planning goals and criteria. With the quantitative goals and criteria, building planning and design algorithms were developed. Furthermore, the method was verified to achieve an intelligent layout of buildings. Finally, under certain conditions, the average difference between the plot ratio calculated by the program and the actual plot ratio was 0.02, and that between the building intensity calculated by the program and the actual building intensity was 0.02. Within 11.43 hectares, 500 buildings were generated with a total floor area of 27.72 hectares, and the average time taken for scheme generation was 10 s. This method can efficiently generate a plan similar to the actual floor area ratio and building density and optimize the problem of insufficient spacing. Moreover, adjusting the parameters can automatically generate a variety of schemes that can support the layout design of rural buildings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
