Device detecting activities of full-size flue gas denitration catalyst was put into operation
Recently, device detecting activities of full-size flue gas denitration catalyst was put into operation with completely independent intellectual property. That means Institute of Urban Environment (IUE) has made a new progress in constructing service ability for evaluation and diagnoses activities of full-size flue gas denitration catalyst. This is another important scientif...

Aquatic Quality and Safety group has make progress in studying horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes under disinfectants control
Antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), as a new type of environmental pollutants have been extensively detected in drinking water systems, and constitutes a major public health issue. Besides, ARGs can spread and diffuse by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as plasmids, transposons among bacterias, which is known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and which further increases t...Antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), as a new type of environmental pollutants have been extensively detected in drinking water systems, and constitutes a major public health issue.

IUE has made progress in the research how polychlorinated biphenyls influence on molecular mechanisms of endometriosis
The rapid development of urbanization results to concentrated outbreak of pollution. The impact of organic compounds pollution on human health has become increasingly serious. The high incidence of many diseases is considered to be related to pollutant. Endometriosis (EM) belongs one of them. The incidence of this estrogen- dependent disease is up to 5~10% in women of childb...

Environmental biotechnology research team has made progress in anaerobic digestion of urban sludge
To properly handle sewage sludge is a problem urgent to be resolved. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of sludge can generate economically valuable methane and is a proper method to dispose sludge disposal. However, how to enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion and how to response to the release of heavy metals in the process, are the current research hotspot. Environmental b...

Atmospheric environmental research team has made progress in flue gas denitration catalysts
Selective catalytic reduction with NH3 (NH3-SCR) is an efficient method for abating NOx from stationary sources and is widely used in coal‐fired power plants currently. V2O5‐WO3/TiO2 catalyst is one of core technologies of NH3-SCR method, which directly influenced NOx removal efficiency in NH3-SCR system. In process of long time use, catalyst gradually shows up deactivatio...

Team of scientists uncover copper poisoning as ancient mechanism in bacterial predation by protozoa
Protozoans were the first eukaryotes to interact with bacteria and their evolutionary success was directly attributed to their ability to effectively engulf (through phagocytosis), kill and then digest their prey. Eventually, predatory protozoa that acquired the most effective mechanisms to kill bacteria became dominant, but the same evolutional pressure forced bacteria to d...
