Summary: The widespread presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine sediments has ecological and human health implications. Sediment washing (SW) has been found to be an effective remediation approach for PAH-polluted sediments, but concerns about waste handling remain. This study investigated the biological treatment of a synthetic PAH-polluted SW solution using a continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor. The results showed that a PHE removal efficiency of up to 75-94% was achieved, mainly through biodegradation by a PHE-degrading consortium composed of Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, and Firmicutes phyla.

Summary: The study analyzed post-consumer low-density polyethylene samples for PAHs, PCDD/Fs, and dioxin-like PCBs content. Different treatments were conducted, including extraction with polyethylene glycol at different temperatures with and without agitation, extraction using subcritical and hot water in a basic medium, compound degradation by ultraviolet radiation, and compound degradation by advanced oxidation processes using H2O2. The most effective treatment was extraction with polyethylene glycol (agitated) at 120℃, reducing contamination by 89%, 85%, and 95% of PAHs, PCDD/Fs, and dioxin-like PCBs, respectively. UV oxidation increased the toxic equivalency of the samples by up to 1400%.

Summary: The research aimed to evaluate the feasibility of adding modified loofah sponge for enhancing the removal of phenanthrene in soil. The modified sponge showed improved adsorption of Phe, increasing carbon content and surface area. While overall adsorption of Phe onto the mixture increased, competitive adsorption with soil decreased the adsorption of Phe. The study demonstrated the potential of using modified loofah sponge as a cost-effective sorbent for remediating PAHs-contaminated soil.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of using a novel chelating surfactant, sodium N-lauroyl ethylenediamine triacetate (LED3A), on the simultaneous removal of copper (Cu) and phenanthrene (Phe) from artificially contaminated soil. The results showed that increasing the LED3A concentration effectively improved the removal efficiencies of both Cu and Phe. The use of LED3A as an extractant to enhance the removal of heavy metals and hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) from co-contaminated soils appears as a promising remediation method.

Summary: In this study, a highly efficient natural PHE-degrading microbial consortium HJ-SH was isolated from soil contaminated with PHE. The consortium showed a degradation efficiency higher than any other natural or engineered strains reported so far. Seven dominant strains were identified from the consortium, and one strain, SH-4, showed the strongest PHE degradation ability. The consortium exhibited high tolerance for PHE and was capable of degrading other organic pollutants as well. An artificial consortium HJ-7 was constructed, which outperformed the natural consortium HJ-SH in terms of reproducibility, application stability, and modification potential.

Summary: In this research, a bench-scale installation was tested for the heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment of clofibric acid. The use of a pressurized-jet aerator and iron-containing alginate beads as catalysts showed promising results in enhancing the efficiency of pollutant removal and reducing energy consumption. However, further increase in pressure did not lead to significant improvement. The integrity of the catalyst was not compromised by pressure. A mathematical model was also developed to better understand the behavior of the reaction system.

Summary: This study successfully synthesized and characterized fluoride-doped-TiO2 and demonstrated its applicability in solid-phase photodegradation of polyethylene films for the first time. After three weeks of UV A radiation using a low consumption LED lamp, the polyethylene films containing only 2% of the photocatalyst experienced nearly 50% weight loss, surpassing previously reported data. The results suggest the potential for future production of self-photodegradable plastics for environmental and wastewater treatment applications.

Summary: Three CuFe-MOFs with different structures were synthesized successfully by varying the ratio of solvents, salts, or temperature. CuFe(BDC-NH2)(D) and CuFe(BDC-NH2)(S) exhibited improved PMS activation for Rhodamine B removal, achieving a removal rate of around 92%. The best degradation system for a mixture of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs was the photo-assisted activation of PMS using CuFe(BDC-NH2)(D) and CuFe(BDC-NH2)(S), resulting in complete degradation within 1 hour. CuFe(BDC-NH2)(R)/PMS showed higher antibacterial activity due to its higher copper content.

Summary: Due to the rapid growth of bio-waste, there are various difficulties in disposal and governance. Therefore, recycling and repurposing bio-waste for environmental purposes have gained more attention. In this study, a novel activated hydrochar (AHPP) was synthesized from pomegranate peels using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) followed by phosphoric acid activation. The characteristics of AHPP were determined using various techniques, and its potential for adsorbing Basic Red 46 (BR46) dye was assessed. The results showed that AHPP can effectively adsorb BR46, and it could be reused multiple times.

Summary: In recent years, the issue of pathogens in the environment has gained widespread concern. New research has been conducted on removing pathogens and persistent pollutants from water. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the nanostructure copper-organic framework, HKUST-1, as a catalyst for eliminating Escherichia coli and generating sulphate radicals through peroxymonosulphate (PMS) activation. The disinfection process was optimized and achieved complete elimination of Escherichia coli growth after 30 minutes using a concentration of 60.5 mg/L HKUST-1 and 0.1 mM PMS. A novel development involving encapsulating HKUST-1 on polyacrylonitrile was proposed to overcome operational limitations and enable continuous treatment in a flow disinfection process.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.
