Omar Falyouna et al.

Summary: In this study, a modified precipitation technique was used to synthesize hybrid magnesium hydroxide/magnesium oxide nanorods (Mg(OH)(2)/MgO), which showed excellent adsorption capacity for the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. The synthesized Mg(OH)(2)/MgO was characterized by various analysis techniques. The results demonstrated that Mg(OH)(2)/MgO efficiently removed CIP from water within a short period of time, and its adsorption capacity was at least 2-fold higher compared to other reported nanomaterials. The spent Mg(OH)(2)/MgO was also analyzed, revealing the mechanisms responsible for CIP adsorption.

Transformation of sulfamethoxazole by sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron activated persulfate: Mechanism and risk assessment using environmental metabolomics

Xiaolong Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the degradation mechanism of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by sulfidated nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) driven persulfate and the potential risk of intermediates. The results show that both SO4- and ·OH are involved in the degradation of SMX, with SO4- being the predominant free radical. XPS analysis reveals that reduced sulfide species promote the conversion of Fe (III) to Fe (II), resulting in a higher transformation rate of SMX. Six intermediates are generated during the degradation process, and their potential risk is assessed using E. coli as a model microorganism.
