Novel insights into the adsorption of organic contaminants by biochar: A review

Zirui Luo et al.

Summary: Biochar plays a crucial role in wastewater and polluted soil decontamination as an adsorbent for organic contaminants. However, further research is needed on aspects such as dynamic adsorption, potential environmental risks, interactions between biochar and soil microbes to facilitate its practical application. This research will contribute to a better understanding of organic contaminants' adsorption removal by biochar.

Treatment of PPCPs and disinfection by-product formation in drinking water through advanced oxidation processes: Comparison of UV, UV/Chlorine, and UV/H2O2

Chih-Wei Pai et al.

Summary: The study found that a higher concentration of oxidants resulted in better removal of PPCPs. The efficiency of removal of selected PPCPs was greatly improved when chlorine or hydrogen peroxide was used in combination with UV. While UV/Chlorine had higher PPCP removal efficiency than UV/H2O2, the latter resulted in smaller amounts of disinfection by-products in treated water.

Simulating and Predicting Adsorption of Organic Pollutants onto Black Phosphorus Nanomaterials

Lihao Su et al.

Summary: Layered black phosphorus (BP) has great potential in various fields, but the interactions and parameters of BP adsorption with organics are lacking. In this study, molecular dynamic and density functional theory were used to calculate the energy and equilibrium constants of organics adsorbed onto BP. Gaseous phase adsorption was found to be more favorable than aqueous phase, and the affinity of aromatics to BP was similar to graphene. The established polyparameter linear free energy relationship model effectively predicted the adsorption capacity of organics onto BP.

Adsorption of neutral organic compounds on polar and nonpolar microplastics: Prediction and insight into mechanisms based on pp-LFERs

Jiaping Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that polar microplastics have higher adsorption capacities for organic compounds than nonpolar microplastics, with adsorption mechanisms mainly involving non-specific interactions and polar interactions. Poly-parameter linear free energy relationships (pp-LFERs) with multiple linear regression (MLR) and feedforward network (FN) models were used to model the adsorption of OCs on MPs, with MLR models being more accurate at selected equilibrium concentrations and FN models capable of predicting under varying equilibrium concentrations. Both MLR and FN models showed good prediction accuracy on literature data for adsorption on nonpolar MPs.
