Summary: In this study, capped and uncapped ZnS nanoparticles were compared, and it was found that the capped ZnS nanoparticles had smaller crystallite size and higher band gap energy, making them suitable as solar photocatalysts. The capped ZnS nanoparticles showed better performance and faster degradation kinetics in degrading methyl orange dye. The proposed dye degradation mechanism suggested that reactive oxygen species generated by photogenerated electron-hole pairs facilitated the degradation of dye molecules.

Summary: The sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation process (SRAOP) has gained significant attention as a potential replacement for hydroxyl-radical-based advanced oxidation process (HR-AOP) in recent years. While SRAOP has the advantage of overcoming limitations associated with HR-AOP, such as acidic pH requirement and interferences by environmental components, its mineralization efficiency remains a concern.

Summary: Real-life experiments were conducted in a 10m3 chamber to study the abatement of nitrogen monoxide. Two models, a three-flow model and a four-flow model, were used to characterize leakage flow rate and photocatalytic oxidation of NO, respectively. Parameters for the rate law were identified using a standardized lab-scale reactor and the experimental results were correctly fitted with finite differences integration.

Summary: Reduced TiO2 nanotube arrays (r-TNAs) have emerged as promising environmental materials for efficient treatment of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) resistant to conventional biological treatment. r-TNAs possess superior conductivity and solar light absorption, as well as well-organized open channel structures for efficient mass transfer. Additionally, r-TNAs can be grown directly on substrates without the use of adhesives, improving their durability and reusability. This paper provides a comprehensive review of r-TNAs in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including their fabrication techniques, appealing properties, and potential applications.

Summary: One negative aspect of landfilling is the production of multicomponent dark liquids containing various chemical pollutants. Effective treatment methods like UV/Fe2+/H2O2 and UV/Fe2+/S2O82- processes are evaluated for degradation of landfill leachate. Factors such as [Fe2+]/[Oxidant] ratio, UV light, dosing mode, and pretreatment by a physicochemical process are examined for their influence. Best removal efficiencies for COD, TOC, and color index are achieved under specific operating conditions, with UV/Fe2+/S2O82- process showing better performance despite the influence of sulfate radical selectivity.

Summary: The heavy oxygenated products produced during alkane oxidation were investigated using electron/ion coincidence mass spectrometry, identifying ketohydroperoxides and diones. Fragmentation difficulties hindered the identification of ketohydroperoxides in lower amounts, while new information on C-5 ketohydroperoxide fragmentation pathways was provided. Fragmentation effects were found to significantly reduce the deviation between experiments and modeling for ketohydroperoxide mole fractions.

Summary: Secondary brain tumors present a major challenge in oncology due to their poor prognosis and fatal outcome. Molecular imaging techniques, such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), show promise in early diagnosis, but are limited by the availability of radiotracers. Tumor angiogenesis and neuropilin-1 receptor overexpression are crucial in malignant tumor progression, and a new gallium-68 radiolabeled peptide targeting NRP-1 demonstrates potential for improved detection of cerebral metastases.
