Surface evolution of synthetic bilgewater emulsion

Bilgewater is oil-in-water emulsion emitted from shipboard and it is a source of pollution to the ocean. Wastewater treatment needs fundamental knowledge of the bilgewater surface changes; however, limited information is available. We have reported the first surface characterization of synthetic bilgewater emulsion using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) coupled with optical microscopy. A NAVY synthetic bilgewater emulsion consisting of three oils and a detergent mixture is used as the synthetic bilgewater model. Both fresh and aged emulsion samples are analyzed to determine their droplet size distributions (DSDs) and surface chemical compositions. Our results show that fresh emulsions are largely mono-modal with hydrocarbon fragments as the main surface composition. Aged emulsions are also monomodal with slightly larger size. Both SIMS spectral comparison and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) show that some surfactant components appear on the fresh emulsion surface immediately while larger molecular weight components appear at the aged bilge droplet surface. Our results indicate that the oil-water interface evolves after emulsion droplet forms. More importantly, surface evolution not only changes the bilgewater DSD but also surface chemical composition and reactivity.

Seawater Desalination Derived Entirely from Ocean Biomass

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation shows great prospects for seawater desalination with its rapid fast evaporation rate and high photothermal conversion efficiency. Here, a sustainable, biodegradable, non-toxic, and highly efficient full ocean biomass-based solar-driven evaporator is reported, which is composed of chitosan (CS) hydrogel as the hydratable skeleton and cuttlefish ink (CI) as the photothermal material. Under solar irradiation, the cuttlefish ink powder harvests solar energy and heats the surrounding water. Simultaneously, the water in the three-dimensional network of chitosan hydrogel is rapidly replenished by the interconnected porous structure and the hydrophilic functional groups attached to the polymer chains. With its enlarged evaporation surface, high solar absorptance, adequate water transportation, good salt drainage, and heat localization, the CI/CS-based evaporator achieves a remarkable evaporation rate of 4.1 kg m-2 h-1 under one sun irradiance (1 kW m-2) with high-quality freshwater yields. This full ocean biomass-based evaporator with abundant raw material availability provides new possibilities for an efficient, stable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solar evaporator with guaranteed water quality.

Sulfonated polybenzimidazole membrane with graphene oxide additive for 2,3-butanediol/water separation: A molecular simulation

Membrane separation for 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) recovery from fermentation broth is highly valued for sustainable and renewable processes, but it requires efficient membrane materials. Here, this work evaluates the sulfonated polybenzimidazole (sPBI) and its graphene oxide (GO) doped composite membrane for separating 2,3-BDO and water via atomistic simulations. Density functional theory calculations are applied to identify various forms of sPBI structures and quantify their binding interactions with 2,3-BDO and water. Classical molecular dynamic simulations are used to evaluate the structural changes, diffusivity, and selectivity of 2,3-BDO and water in different sPBI models, GO surfaces, and GO-doped sPBI composite models. Our results suggest that sPBI slightly increases the crystallinity of the membrane structures, enhances the adsorption strength for both 2,3-BDO and water, and improves the water/2,3-BDO selectivity by 2–3 times. The GO surfaces display a maximum selectivity at a surface coverage of 0.1–0.15 for both hydroxyl and epoxy surface groups. The addition of GO flakes to sPBI creates new interaction sites for 2,3-BDO and water at the interface of sPBI and GO, and the water/2,3-BDO selectivity of GO-doped sPBI models is further increased up to 3 times. This work illustrates how the integrated addition of sPBI and GO flakes offers a promising approach to selective separation of 2,3-BDO and water, providing theoretical guidance for polybenzimidazole-based membranes in the potential application of 2,3-BDO recovery.

Surface Reconstruction in Hydrated Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Thin Films Probed by Fluid Cell Atomic Force Microscopy

In many thin film materials, nuanced interplays of interfacial energies control the surface morphology and rearrangement. This work evaluates polymer−solvent interactions and solvent-driven surface reconstructions via ex situ and in situ fluid cell Atomic Force Microscopy (fc-AFM) analysis of amphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) thin films upon exposure to deionized (DI) water. We examine the differences in surface morphology, whole-film swelling, and force response in thin films of polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) and polystyrene- block-poly[(allyl glycidyl ether)-co-(ethylene oxide)] (PS-b- P[AGE-co-EO]) processed into standing-up cylinder morphologies perpendicular to a silicon substrate (⊥C). Using Amplitude Modulation AFM (AM-AFM) and Amplitude-Phase Distance (APD) force spectroscopy, this work probes the mechanoresponsive nature of the dynamic surface layers of these films, unveiling surface layer stratification and surface chain rearrangement via minimal tip−sample stimulation. To help rationalize the observed reconfigurations, the energetic driving forces were estimated using the harmonic mean approximations of interfacial energies. Given the nonionizable nature of the minority P(AGE-co-EO) block and the energetic driving forces for chain mobility, this work shows how the elimination of unfavorable PS−water interfaces drives chain rearrangement and coverage of the PS surface by chains of the hydrophilic block. This work highlights considerations for increasing the heterogeneity and complexity of BCP thin films via random blocks and how those changes to local interfacial energies may drive larger scale film morphology reconstructions, with broader implications for tuning interface hydrophilicity.

The 1996 Mid-Atlantic Winter Flood: Exploring Climate Risk through a Storyline Approach

Abstract This article explores the application of thermodynamic perturbations to a historical midlatitude, wintertime, rain-on-snow flood event to evaluate how similar events may evolve under different climate forcings. In particular, we generate a hindcast of the 1996 Mid-Atlantic flood using an ensemble of 14-km variable-resolution simulations completed with the U.S. Department of Energy’s global Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). We show that the event is skillfully reproduced over the Susquehanna River Basin (SRB) by E3SM when benchmarked against in situ observational data and high-resolution reanalyses. In addition, we perform five counterfactual experiments to simulate the flood under preindustrial conditions and four different levels of warming as projected by the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble. We find a nonlinear response in simulated surface runoff and streamflow as a function of atmospheric warming. This is attributed to changing contributions of liquid water input from a shallower initial snowpack (decreased snowmelt), increased surface temperatures and rainfall rates, and increased soil water storage. Flooding associated with this event peaks from around +1 to +2 K of global average surface warming and decreases with additional warming beyond this. There are noticeable timing shifts in peak runoff and streamflow associated with changes in the flashiness of the event. This work highlights the utility of using storyline approaches for communicating climate risk and demonstrates the potential nonlinearities associated with hydrologic extremes in areas that experience ephemeral snowpack, such as the SRB.

Groundwater characterization and monitoring at a complex industrial waste site using electrical resistivity imaging

A contaminated industrial waste site in Washington State (USA) containing buried, metallic-waste storage tanks, pipes, and wells, was evaluated to determine the feasibility of monitoring groundwater remediation activities associated with an underlying perched aquifer system using electrical resistivity tomography. The perched aquifer, located ~65 m below ground surface and ~10 m above the regional water table, contains high concentrations of nitrate, uranium, and other contaminants of concern from past tank leaks and intentional releases of wastes to surface disposal sites. The extent of the perched water aquifer is not well known, and the effectiveness of groundwater extraction for contaminant removal is uncertain, so supplemental characterization and monitoring technologies are being evaluated. Numerical simulations of subsurface flow and contaminant transport were performed with a highly resolved model of the hydrogeologic system and waste site infrastructure, and these simulations were used as the physical basis for electrical resistivity tomography modeling. The modeling explicitly accounted for metallic infrastructure at the site. The effectiveness of using surface electrodes versus surface and horizontal subsurface electrodes, for imaging groundwater extraction from the perched water aquifer, was investigated. Although directional drilling is a mature technology, its use for electrode emplacement in the deep subsurface under a complex industrial waste site via horizontal wells has not yet been demonstrated. Results from this study indicate that using horizontal subsurface electrode arrays could significantly improve the ability of electrical resistivity tomography to image deep subsurface features and monitor remediation activities under complex industrial waste sites.

Persistent, extensive channelized drainage modeled beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica

Abstract. Subglacial hydrology is a leading control on basal friction and the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets. At low discharge, subglacial water flows through high-pressure, sheet-like systems that lead to low effective pressures. However, at high discharge, subglacial water melts the overlying ice into localized channels that efficiently remove water from the bed, thereby increasing effective pressure and basal friction. Recent observations suggest channelized subglacial flow exists beneath Thwaites Glacier, yet it remains unclear if stable channelization is feasible in West Antarctica, where surface melting is nonexistent and water at the bed is limited. Here, we use the MPAS-Albany Land Ice model to run a suite of over 130 subglacial hydrology simulations of Thwaites Glacier across a wide range of physical parameter choices to assess the likelihood of channelization. We then narrow our range of viable simulations by comparing modeled water thicknesses to previously observed radar specularity content, which indicates flat, spatially extensive water bodies at the bed. In all of our data-compatible simulations, stable channels reliably form within 100–200 km of the grounding line and reach individual discharge rates of 35–110 m3 s−1 at the ice–ocean boundary. While only one to two channels typically form across the 200 km width of the glacier in our simulations, their high efficiency drains water across the entire lateral extent of the glacier. We posit the large catchment size of Thwaites Glacier, its funnel-like geometry, and high basal melt rates together accumulate enough water to form stable channels. No simulations resembled observed specularity content when channelization was disabled. Our results suggest channelized subglacial hydrology has two consequences for Thwaites Glacier dynamics: (i) amplifying submarine melting of the terminus and ice shelf while (ii) simultaneously raising effective pressure within 100 km of the grounding line and increasing basal friction. The distribution of effective pressure implied from our modeling differs from parameterizations typically used in large-scale ice sheet models, suggesting the development of more process-based parameterizations may be necessary.

Competition between Water–Water Hydrogen Bonds and Water–π Bonds in Pyrene–Water Cluster Anions

We present infrared spectra and density functional theory calculations of hydrated pyrene anion clusters with up to four water molecules. The experimental spectra were acquired using infrared Ar messenger photodissociation spectroscopy. Water molecules form clusters on the surface of the pyrene, forming hydrogen bonds with the pi-system. The structures of the water clusters and their interaction with the π-system are encoded in the OH stretching vibrational modes. Here, we find that the interactions between water molecules are stronger than they are between water molecules and the π-system. While all clusters show multiple conformers, three- and four-membered rings are the lowest energy structures in the larger hydrates.

THE POTENTIAL FOR REUSE OF PRODUCED WATER IN THE CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE POWDER RIVER BASIN OF WYOMING AND MONTANA

The Powder River Basin (PRB) Carbon Ore, Rare Earth, and Critical Minerals (CORE-CM) project is part of the Department of Energy sponsored CORE-CM initiative focused on domestic production of critical minerals and promoting economic development in traditionally fossil fuel producing basins. An important part of this project is regional assessment of waste streams and development of basinal strategies for waste stream reuse within the critical minerals (CM) supply chain. The availability of water for all parts of the CM supply chain is of particular concern in the arid mountain west. In the Wyoming PRB, average annual production of produced water (PW) by the oil and gas industry is more than 16 billion gallons (2015-2022). Through published data and engagement with industry partners, we conducted a preliminary investigation of PW in the PRB to understand volumes, quality, and the potential for use in the CM supply chain. PW was assessed for potential as a direct feedstock and for use in CM processing of a variety of conventional and unconventional feedstocks, including ore from the Bear Lodge Alkaline Complex, coal, and coal byproducts. Preliminary findings suggest that PRB PW contains significantly lower concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) and lithium than would be considered economic at this time. For example, concentrations of REE+Sc measured in PRB PW are <1 ppb (DE-EE0007603), and only seven PRB PW samples reported in the USGS PW database had lithium concentrations ≥50 ppm. However, enrichment of CM in residual brine and sludge from PW evaporation and solidification treatment ponds may yield concentrations of interest over a pond lifetime and should be considered in future studies. Coal bed methane (CBM) PW accounted for 42% of all PW in the Wyoming PRB in 2022. Compared to non-CBM PW, PRB CBM water quality generally meets standards allowing surface discharge and reuse in local industries such as livestock. CBM PW may help to fill water needs within the CM supply chain. Understanding the distribution of CBM PW that is discharged versus reused will help develop basinal reuse strategies.

Convenient Confinement: Interplay of Solution Conditions and Graphene Oxide Film Structure on Rare Earth Separations

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes are excellent candidates for a range of separation applications, including rare earth segregation and radionuclide decontamination. Understanding nanoscale water and ion behavior near interfacial GO is critical for groundbreaking membrane advances, including improved selectivity and permeability. Here, we experimentally examine the impact of solution conditions on water and lanthanide interactions with interfacial GO films and connect these results to GO membrane performance. The investigation of the confined films at the air–water interface with a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy and X-ray scattering techniques allows us to understand water and ion behaviors separately. Sum frequency generation spectroscopy reveals a dramatic change in interfacial water organization because of graphene oxide film deprotonation. Interfacial X-ray fluorescence measurements show a 17× increase in adsorbed lanthanide to the GO film from subphase pH 3 to pH 9. Liquid surface X-ray reflectivity data show an additional 2.7 $e^–$ per Å 2 for GO films at pH 9 versus pH 3 as well. These results are connected to GO membrane performance, which show increased selectivity and decreased flux for membranes filtering pH 9 solutions. We posit insoluble lanthanide hydroxides form at higher pHs. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of interfacial experiments on model GO systems.

Iridium Surface Oxide Affects the Nafion Interface in Proton-Exchange-Membrane Water Electrolysis

Proton-exchange-membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) catalyst layers consist of aggregates of catalyst particles (typically iridium) and ionomer (typically Nafion). Prior work suggests that the oxide form of Ir affects the kinetics of the oxygen-evolution reaction. However, because most catalyst-benchmarking studies are conducted ex situ in liquid electrolytes, it remains unclear how the ionomer is influenced by the catalyst oxide and affects overall cell performance. Using a suite of experimental techniques, we conduct fundamental investigations into model ink (catalyst and ionomer dispersed in solution) and thin-film systems to inform cell-level overpotential analysis as a function of three forms of Ir (metallic Ir m , oxyhydroxide IrOOH, and oxide IrO 2 ). Furthermore, nafion on Ir m has a high degree of phase separation and higher swelling, likely improving the ionic conductivity. Additionally, Nafion binds most strongly to IrOOH, likely yielding reduced kinetic overpotentials. These findings highlight the intricacies of the ionomer/Ir interface and provide insight into all catalyst-layer systems.

Grazing Incidence Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering of Water Adsorption in Polyamide Barrier Layers of Reverse Osmosis Membranes

To understand the relationship between the intermolecular structure of aromatic polyamide (PA) scaffold and the water molecules in the barrier layers of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, a grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) study was carried out on freestanding PA thin films at varying relative humidity (RH) conditions. The scattering results were analyzed by an interference scattering model, containing a phase factor between a PA chain and an adsorbed water molecule. This model yielded good fits to the GIWAXS profiles where the water adsorption was found to vary linearly with RH. Atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were also performed to complement the experimental study. Furthermore, the simulations revealed that a rapid condensation layer initially formed on the PA film surface, followed by the slow water molecule diffusion inside the PA membrane. Sparse adsorbed water, isolated in subnanopores of the PA film adjacent to the polar atoms, even in very low quantities, modifies the X-ray scattering. Atomistic simulations at the microscopic scale provide partial support for several X-ray scattering findings.

Implications of high-pressure oxygen hydrates on radiolytic oxygen in Jovian icy moons

Various icy moons, such as Europa and Ganymede, have thin oxygen atmospheres and exhibit spectral features attributed to oxygen held in their surface ices. The oxygen forms from the radiolysis of water. The interiors of these bodies are subject to high pressures and it is not known how deep into icy moons oxygen-bearing ices can penetrate, or the structures formed by the oxygen–water system at high pressure. Here, we show that oxygen hydrates are stable to 2.6 GPa, allowing them to penetrate deep into icy moons, both above and below proposed sub-surface liquid-water oceans. Similarities between oxygen and hydrogen hydrates indicate potentially enhanced recombination rates, transforming them back into water and offering a resolution to the discrepancy between predicted and measured radiolysis rates. In addition to the low-pressure CS-II clathrate, our results find three high-pressure phases in the oxygen–water system: an ST clathrate, a C 0 hydrate, and a filled ice isomorphous with methane hydrate III. This shows a vast storage potential for molecular oxygen in icy moons and indicates that Europa could still be absorbing oxygen into its crustal ice.

Conversion of CO 2 to Methanol and Ethanol on Pt/CeO x /TiO 2 (110): Enabling Role of Water in C–C Bond Formation

The surface chemistry of alcohol synthesis from CO 2 hydrogenation has been investigated using kinetic testing, ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) and DFT calculations over a multicomponent system where Pt and ceria nanoparticles coexisted on a titania template, Pt/CeO x /TiO 2 (110). Due to its high ability to bind and activate CO 2 , not seen for typical Cu-ZnO catalysts, the Pt-CeO x -TiO 2 interface is excellent for the hydrogenation of CO 2 to methanol with some ethanol also being produced (21% selectivity). The results of AP-XPS and DFT calculations indicate that the active state involves a mixture of Ti 4+ /Ti 3+ , Ce 3+ and Pt 0 /Pt + . A fast pathway for the formation of CH 3 O species is only plausible when Ce 3+ and Pt are present. The addition of water to the reaction feed facilitates the first hydrogenation of CO 2 and substantially enhances the surface coverage of C-containing species (CH 3 O, HCOO, CO 3 , CH x ), facilitating the formation of C-C bonds and the production of ethanol (38% selectivity).

A bespoke model of Arctic river basins based on hillslope delineation: Model Archive

This dataset is a model archive of the paper A bespoke model of Arctic river basins based on hillslope delineation (in prep), which introduces a watershed decomposition and parameterization method for large scale permafrost hydrology simulation. With this dataset, this study aims to address the research question: whether a computationally efficient hillslope-based modeling framework can reliably simulate discharge at Arctic river-basin scales.
