Biomass-derived porous carbons for sorption of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Yafei Shen

Summary: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful to the environment and human health, and their emissions have increased with industrialization and economic growth. Adsorption is an effective technology for VOCs recovery due to its cost-effectiveness and low energy consumption. Porous carbons, such as carbon-based materials, zeolite-based materials, and organic polymers, have been extensively developed for VOCs adsorption. This paper provides an overview of the synthesis of porous carbons from renewable resources and their application in VOCs abatement technologies.

Efficient emerging contaminants (EM) decomposition via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by Co3O4/carbonized polyaniline (CPANI) composite: Characterization of tetracycline (TC) degradation property and application for the remediation of EM-polluted water body

Jin Qian et al.

Summary: In this study, a Co3O4-carbonized polyaniline composite (Co3O4/CPANI) was used as a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) and other antibiotics in water.
