Summary: In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor was developed for the real-time detection of TCP using graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets decorated with Fe3O4 nanospheres (CN@Fe3O4) composite-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). The synthesis of CN nanosheets was done using the combustion technique while the co-precipitation method was used for the preparation of CN@Fe3O4 composite. The CN@Fe3O4-modified SPCE showed superior performance in TCP detection compared to CN and Fe3O4 modified SPCEs, with a linear range of 0.04-651 μM and a detection limit of 12 nM.

Summary: In this study, municipal domestic wastewater (MDW) was successfully utilized as a co-catabolic carbon source to degrade wastewater containing high levels of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). Adjusting the MDW addition mode further increased the efficiency of 2,4,6-TCP removal. The addition of MDW promoted the growth of bacterial genera responsible for 2,4,6-TCP degradation and the metabolism of intermediates, leading to high removal efficiencies.

Summary: The formation of Fenton-like system in a natural soil environment is considered significant in the aging process of biochar. Aged biochars have improved surface properties and increased adsorption capacity for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP), making them useful for soil improvement. The aged biochar contains abundant functional groups that are associated with its enhanced adsorption behavior, indicating potential value for long-term remediation of organically polluted soils.

Summary: Marine environments contain diverse halogenated organic compounds(HOCs), which nourish a group of versatileorganohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB). In this study, a novel OHRB (Peptococcaceae DCH) with conserved motifs but phylogenetically diverse reductive dehalogenase catalytic subunit (RdhAs) was identified from marine enrichment culture. Horizontal gene transfer of rdhAs among marine OHRB was demonstrated. This study enhances our understanding of marine OHRB (rdhAs), auxiliary microbes, and microbial HOC adaptive mechanisms.

Summary: In this study, hybrid composite and composite beads based on mango seed shell were designed for the uptake of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol from wastewater. Batch experiments showed that FeCl3-NaBH4/MS was the most effective adsorbent for removing the pollutant, leading to further fixed-bed column experimentation. The selected FeCl3-NaBH4/MS hybrid composites showed satisfactory results for the fixed-bed adsorption of the 2,4,6-TCP contaminants in the column study.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution and autoreduction behavior of Cu species in CuCl/NaY adsorbent during vacuum thermal activation. It is found that Cu species migrate from supercages to the nearby plane of the six-membered ring connecting the supercage and sod cage during vacuum activation. At 150 degrees C, vacuum autoreduction occurs, resulting in the formation of Cu+Cl- species. The results provide reference for the preparation of pi-complex adsorbents.

Summary: Hierarchical porous system with two types of mesopores provides a solution to the diffusion limitation in conventional zeolites. Cobalt oxide impregnated hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite samples with intra- and inter-crystalline mesopores were synthesized using two different strategies. The physicochemical properties of the modified catalysts were analyzed, revealing distinct features given by the two mesoporous configurations. Catalytic activity analysis showed that Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with inter-crystalline mesopores exhibited higher activity in methane partial oxidation reaction compared to Co-oxide/ZSM-5 with intra-crystalline mesopores.

Summary: First principles calculations were used to investigate the pathway for methylation of benzene with methane catalyzed by MFI type zeolite-supported Co species. The strong adsorption of benzene on Co is found to lower the activation energy for methane dissociation and promote the formation of toluene precursor. The activation energy of methane dissociation is also affected by the Al-Al distance.
