    As a byproduct of daily life and many modern industries, protein-rich waste or biomass is increasingly produced worldwide and emerges as an environmental burden if not properly managed. Here, we demonstrate a sustainable plasma electrolysis (PE) process for high-performance cleaner energy production from protein-rich biomass (PRB). With rapid external electricity delivery to drive electrical discharges directly into liquid, a localized and intensified reacting environment can be created, well suited to waste conversion into higher-value products, thus enabling an electrified biorefinery. Using protein-rich foods (here, pork liver and soy protein) as examples, this study investigates the PE-enabled, catalyst-free conversion of PRB in polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200), aiming to understand the conversion process, product compositions and migration and transformation of organic elements and metal ions. Results show that the conversion of the pork liver reaches 95.1% at 10 min, generating a liquid product with a high heating value (HHV) of 26.88 MJ/kg. Highly reactive oxygen species generated during the discharge, such as O and OH radicals, lead to the precipitation of metal ions from the feedstock and the transfer of nitrogen to the gas phase. This study provides a novel and promising Power-to-X process for the valorization of protein-rich feedstock under mild conditions.</p

    Plasma-enabled CO2 conversion is an appealing technology to achieve carbon neutrality. Aiming at cost-effective utilization of CO2, a compact and low-cost commercial power supply was applied to sustain spark discharge plasma-enabled CO2 dissociation under extreme conditions of high vibrational and rotational temperatures and reduced electrical fields. It showed that the power supply could obtain the maximum electrical efficiency of 47.7%. The effects of electrode configuration on the CO2 conversion performance were investigated. The highest CO2 conversion rate of 10.3% and energy efficiency of 8.1% were achieved by 2 and 1 mm needle–plate electrodes, while the highest discharge power of 12.8 W was reached by 6 mm plate–plate electrodes. Collectively, optical emission spectroscopy and computational fluid dynamics simulation revealed the synergistic effects of electron-induced excitation and heat/gas transfer on the conversion performance. This work provides alternatives for plasma power supplies and sheds light on the panorama of spark discharge plasma-enabled CO2 conversion

    Tubeimoside I Ameliorates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity by Upregulating SIRT3

    No full text
    Cardiotoxicity linked to doxorubicin (DOX) is primarily caused by inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. The role of tubeimoside I (TBM) in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains ambiguous, despite growing evidence that it could reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in various diseases. This study was designed to investigate the role of TBM in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and uncover the underlying mechanisms. H9c2 cell line and C57BL/6 mice were used to construct an in vitro and in vivo model of DOX-induced myocardial injury, respectively. We observed that DOX treatment provoked inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which were significantly alleviated by TBM administration. Mechanistically, TBM attenuated DOX-induced downregulation of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), and SIRT3 inhibition abrogated the beneficial effects of TBM both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, TBM eased inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by increasing the expression of SIRT3, suggesting that it holds great promise for treating DOX-induced cardiac injury

    Highlights • GPSD plasma was successfully applied to degrade OP residues from L. barbarum. • GPSD plasma exposure didn’t induce any changes in the fruit quality. • Electrical and optical characteristics of the plasma discharge were analysed. • The degradation efficiency of OP residues reached 99.55% and 96.83% at 10 kV. Abstract Pesticides are widely used in commercial goji Lycium barbarum cultivation to prevent damage of the delicate fruits by insects, potentially leading to insecticide and fungicide residues at levels dangerous to human health. In this study, removal of organophosphorus pesticide (OP) residues (i.e. omethoate and dichlorvos) from the surface of L. barbarum was conducted using a gas phase surface discharge (GPSD) plasma system. ICCD and GC-MS measurements showed that a homogeneous and uniform GPSD glow-like plasma could be achieved and the efficiency of OP residues degradation greatly depended on the applied voltage and plasma exposure time, with 99.55% and 96.83% efficiency recorded for omethoate and dichlorvos (DDVP), respectively after 30 min GPSD plasma exposure at the discharge voltage of 10 kV. FT-IR and chemical analysis of the intermediates produced during GPSD exposure revealed that the omethoate and DDVP molecules could be completely degraded into nontoxic species, at the appropriate dosage of GPSD plasma exposure, without compromising the quality of L. barbarum. Based on the experimental and simulation results, a mechanism of OP degradation attributed to energetic electrons and highly reactive species generated by GPSD plasma was proposed

    Highlights • Plasma electrolytic technology was successfully employed to liquefy sawdust. • Electrolytic characteristics of the plasma discharge were analyzed. • The liquefacient and biomass could be fast heated by electric field. • The liquefaction yield of sawdust reached 99.08% in 5 minute. Abstract In this work, plasma electrolytic technology was successfully employed to achieve fast liquefaction of sawdust when polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200) and glycerol were used as liquefacient in the presence of the catalyst sulfuric acid. Results showed that H ions could heat the solution effectively during the plasma electrolytic liquefaction (PEL) process. The influence of some key parameters including liquefaction time, catalyst percentage, liquefacient/sawdust mass ratio, and PEG 200/glycerol molar ratio on the liquefaction yield were investigated. Based on the results of single factor experiments, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the liquefaction process. Under the optimal conditions that is liquefaction time of 5.10 min, catalyst percentage of 1.05%, liquefacient/sawdust mass ratio of 7.12/1 and PEG 200/glycerol molar ratio of 1.40/1, the liquefaction yield reached 99.48%. Hence, it could be concluded that PEL has good application potential for biomass fast liquefaction
