Hassan Alamgholiloo et al.

Summary: In this study, a Fe2O3/CNT/MIL heterostructure was developed for the degradation of ofloxacin (OFX) antibiotics under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm).

Efficient microwave-assisted mineralization of oxytetracycline driven by persulfate and hypochlorite over Cu-biochar catalyst

Qiaozhi Zhang et al.

Summary: MW-assisted catalytic degradation of organic pollutants using Cu-loaded biochar catalysts showed high efficiency in the mineralization of refractory and high-concentration oxytetracycline. Reactive oxidizing species, which were barely detectable in a conventional heating system, played a crucial role in achieving the high efficiency in MW-assisted oxidation systems. The interactions between CuBC and MW were revealed by correlating the physiochemical characteristics to the MW absorption ability. These proposed catalytic systems have significant implications for the development of a high-throughput and low-carbon wastewater treatment technology.

Shijie Li et al.

Summary: Solar-driven elimination of refractory contaminants is an ideal approach for environmental remediation. However, the photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts is limited by insufficient reactive sites and fast recombination of electrons and holes. In this study, a novel metal-organic framework-based heterostructure of MIL-101(Fe)/Bi2WO6 was synthesized, which exhibited significantly enhanced photoactivity for Cr(VI) reduction and tetracycline hydrochloride oxidation compared to individual Bi2WO6 and MIL-101(Fe). The improved catalytic performance can be attributed to the enlarged surface area and pollutant adsorption facilitated by MIL-101(Fe), as well as the efficient photo-carrier transport mechanism supported by oxygen vacancies.
