In this article, a new approach is applied to reuse Artemisia residue (AR) as filler in polyurethane (PU) foam for vegetable oil sorption for discarded cooking oil applications. The pristine PU and PU/X%AR foams (X stands for AR content of 5–20%wt/wt) were characterized by SEM, density, contact angle (CA), thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The influence of two experimental factors, such as contact time (30–180 s) and initial vegetable oil concentration (20–200 g/L), was investigated in vegetable oil and vegetable oil/mineral water systems. The AR loading of the foams increased the foams' density and influenced the morphological, physical, thermal, and sorption properties. The PU/20%AR sample presented the highest CA (122.5°) and the best sorption capacity and efficiency in both systems due to the small pores size and higher frequency of pores. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models well defined the sorption mechanisms. The Langmuir model represented the best fit of experimental data for PU/20%AR with a maximum adsorption capacity of 16.86 g/g. The PU/20%AR presented reusability of 7 cycles, conserving their hydrophobicity after the process. Therefore, AR is an innovative route as fillers in PU foams for discarded vegetable oil sorption, and the circular economy can benefit from the reuse of discarded vegetable cooking oil.

Oil spill accidents have seriously harmed the marine environment. Effective oil spill monitoring can provide strong scientific and technological support for emergency response of law enforcement departments. Shipborne radar can be used to monitor oil spills immediately after the accident. In this paper, the original shipborne radar image collected by the teaching-practice ship Yukun of Dalian Maritime University during the oil spill accident of Dalian on 16 July 2010 was taken as the research data, and an oil spill detection method was proposed by using LBP texture feature and K-means algorithm. First, Laplacian operator, Otsu algorithm, and mean filter were used to suppress the co-frequency interference noises and high brightness pixels. Then the gray intensity correction matrix was used to reduce image nonuniformity. Next, using LBP texture feature and K-means clustering algorithm, the effective oil spill regions were extracted. Finally, the adaptive threshold was applied to identify the oil films. This method can automatically detect oil spills in shipborne radar image. It can provide a guarantee for real-time monitoring of oil spill accidents.

“…[10][11][12] Therefore, it is imperative to develop efficient and cost-effective methods to purify water resources. [13,14] Adsorption is recognized as one of the most effective ones among the proposed water treatment approaches, because of its simple operation, strong practicability and ease of popularizing. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In recent years, a variety of adsorbents based on synthetic materials have been widely studied.…”

In this paper, a 3D nitrogen-doped carbon network with excellent adsorption properties was prepared for bisphenol S (BPS) removal from water. An optimized sample B-T700-N3 with high Langmuir specific surface area as well as plentiful heteroatoms was screened out. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of conjugation and hydrogen bonding between the adsorbent and bisphenol S, B-T700-N3 demonstrated superior adsorption performance. The maximum adsorption amount (q max,e ) of the B-T700-N3 at equilibrium was determined to be up to 91 mg/g, which was comparable or even higher than that of the state-of-the-art reported adsorbents. Experimental results illustrated that this adsorbent could also effectively remove other bisphenols (BPA, BPAF) from water. Overall, this novel adsorbent demonstrated a competitive performance for bisphenols removal in aqueous solution and can be a highly interesting candidate for industrial applications.
