RESUMEN
HYPOTHESIS: Hexavalent chromium, recognized as one of the most toxic heavy metals, demands the development of advanced materials capable of both adsorption and photocatalysis for effective Cr (VI) removal. EXPERIMENTS: This study successfully synthesized a two-dimensional zinc porphyrin covalent organic framework (ZnPor-COF) via a solvent-based method. Performance evaluations have demonstrated that the ZnPor-COF possesses outstanding capabilities for the adsorptive and/or photocatalytic elimination of Cr (VI). Particularly noteworthy is the observation that when adsorption and photocatalysis are coupled, the ZnPor-COF attains an exceptional 99.7 % removal rate for a Cr (VI) concentration of 30 mg/L within just 60 min, with minimal susceptibility to coexisting ions. After five consecutive cycles, the material sustains a removal efficiency of 90 %, indicative of its robust cyclability. FINDINGS: Theoretical calculations, as well as experimental validations, have indicated that the integration of Zn ions into the porphyrin COF not only results in an expanded specific surface area and an increased count of adsorption sites but also significantly improves the COF's photosensitivity and the capability for charge carrier separation. Furthermore, the core of the synergistic effect between adsorption and photocatalysis lies in the ability of photocatalysis to substantially augment the adsorption process.
RESUMEN
The volatile components of yak butter were isolated by solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE), simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE; dichloromethane and diethyl ether as solvent, respectively) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME; CAR/PDMS, PDMS/DVB and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibre extraction, respectively) and were analysed by GC/MS. A total of 83 volatile components were identified under six different conditions, including 28 acids, 12 esters, 11 ketones, 10 lactones, 10 alcohols, 4 other compounds, 2 aldehydes, 2 unsaturated aldehydes, 1 furan, 1 sulphur-containing compound, 1 unsaturated alcohol and 1 unsatruated ketone. Among them, 51 were identified by SAFE, 58 by SDE (45 with dichloromethane as solvent and 41 with diethyl ether as solvent) and 40 by HS-SPME (26 with CAR/PDMS; 26 with PDMS/DVB and 32 with DVB/CAR/PDMS). Three pretreatment methods were compared to show that the volatile components obtained using different methods varied greatly, both in terms of categories and in content. Therefore, a multi-pretreatment method should be adopted, together with GC/MS. A total of 25 aroma-active compounds were detected by gas chromatography-olfactometry, among which 20 aroma-active compounds were found by SDE (14 with dichloromethane as solvent and 14 with diethyl ether as solvent) and 17 by SAFE.
