Solar Evaporation-Induced Mass-Transfer Enhancement in a Biomass-Derived Dual-Network Aerogel for Selective Enrichment of Rare-Earth Ions

Abstract Low-concentration rare-earth industrial wastewater contains low target-ion concentrations and high concentrations of coexisting salts, which limit mass transfer in conventional static adsorption. A biomass-derived dual-network photothermal aerogel (CB@DCP) was developed,...

Thermal effect on consolidation and strain–stress behaviour of bentonite–sand mixtures with different initial states and clay contents

Abstract Understanding the thermo-mechanical behaviour of clay–sand mixtures is critical for the design and long-term performance evaluation of geotechnical and geoenvironmental infrastructures exposed to elevated temperatures. This study systematically investigates the mechanica...
