Complexation and degradation of tetracycline by activation of molecular oxygen with biochar-supported nano-zero-valent copper composite

Xianfa Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, biochar (BC) with porous structure and abundant surface functional groups was utilized to disperse and stabilize nano-zero-valent copper (nZVC) for efficient activation of molecular oxygen (O-2) and removal of tetracycline (TC) organic pollutant. The nZVC/BC/O-2 system achieved excellent TC removal efficiencies of over 85% in the pH range of 4.0-9.0, mainly through the combined action of complexation and degradation. This research highlights the potential application prospects of complexation and degradation in water and wastewater treatment.

Efficient removal of norfloxacin using nano zerovalent cerium composite biochar-catalyzed peroxydisulfate

Jibran Iqbal et al.

Summary: Norfloxacin (NOR), an important antibiotic used for the treatment of various infections, is known to cause significant water pollution and environmental issues. In this study, a composite of biochar from Phoenix dactylifera roots biomass (PB) and mesoporous nano-zerovalent cerium (nZVCe) was used successfully to remove NOR from solutions. The composite showed improved catalytic efficiency and physiological characteristics compared to individual PB. The use of peroxydisulfate (PDS) further enhanced the removal of NOR, and scavengers inhibited NOR degradation. The study demonstrates the potential practical applications of the composite in treating NOR-contaminated water.

Yuanhao Cheng et al.

Summary: In this work, a Z-scheme Bi2S3-Bi2WO6 heterojunction with interfacial Bi-S bonds was constructed. The obtained BS-BWO heterojunction exhibited significantly enhanced piezocatalytic performance, which could be attributed to the Z-scheme charge transfer through the formed Bi-S bonds. The increased piezoelectric potential of BS-BWO also contributed to the enhanced piezocatalytic performance, as supported by COMSOL simulation.

Comparison of the new Cl2/O3/UV process with different ozone- and UV-based AOPs for wastewater treatment at pilot scale: Removal of pharmaceuticals and changes in fluorescing organic matter

Massimiliano Sgroi et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficiency of different UV- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes for removing pharmaceuticals and pollutants from tertiary wastewater effluent. Chlorine-based AOPs were found to be more effective in reducing fluorescence intensities and degrading target micro-pollutants, with the Cl-2/O-3/UV process being the most effective. Unique regression parameters were identified for each compound, surrogate parameter, and oxidation process, showing that a diverse PARAFAC component was the most sensitive surrogate parameter for monitoring small changes in pharmaceutical removal.
