Summary: This study synthesized amorphous-crystalline composites to investigate the cooperative effect of redox-active crystalline oxides and non-redox amorphous oxides in generating ROS. Various structural and chemical characterization techniques, as well as Raman and EPR spectroscopy monitoring, confirmed the synergistic role of crystalline and amorphous phases in ROS generation, proposing a Fenton-type mechanism for H2O2 decomposition. The advanced oxidation process of the investigated catalysts was demonstrated through oxidation of OPD and methylene blue discoloration.

Summary: The study evaluated the oxidative removal of methylene blue from synthetic textile wastewater using a combination of persulfate and heterogeneous Fenton-like process. The optimal conditions for MB removal were determined, and it was found that H2O2 and goethite doses greatly influenced the efficiency of MB removal. Reusing goethite for 5 cycles still maintained a high MB removal efficiency of 93%, indicating its good reusability. Radical trapping experiments identified hydroxyl radicals as the dominant radical for MB removal.

Summary: In this study, LaxNi0.5Co0.5Fe2-xO4 nanoparticles were used as catalysts for Methylene Blue degradation. The nanoparticles were produced using the citrate-aided sol-gel auto-combustion method and exhibited homogeneous size distribution. The structural and optical characteristics of the nanoferrites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and UV-visible reflectance spectroscopy respectively. Morphological and compositional studies were conducted using FESEM and EDX spectra, while BET analysis was used to determine the surface area. Raman Spectroscopy was employed to estimate the vibration parameters. The most efficient catalyst, La0.06Ni0.5Co0.5Fe1.94O4, achieved a 98.69% efficiency in 140 minutes. The use of La3+ substituted Ni0.5Co0.5Fe2O4 nanoferrites as catalysts offers advantages such as high recycling capability, stability, and simplicity of separation using an external magnet.

Summary: Fenton processes, utilizing the reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals for the degradation of organic pollutants, are efficient but face challenges with traditional bulk feeding of H2O2. In-situ production of H2O2 through O-2 activation in Fenton/Fenton-like processes is gaining attention for its potential advantages in industrial wastewater treatment.

Summary: This paper thoroughly investigates the interactions between two cyanocarbons (TCNE and FN) and a series of secondary amines. The researchers observed tricyanovinylation (TCV) reaction in all TCNE-amine pairs, with the formation of a visible charge-transfer complex only in the case of pyrrole. FN forms complexes with all the amines studied and also shows an unexpected reaction with alicyclic amines. The presence of TCNE·- and FN·- radicals in the analyzed samples, as evidenced by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, suggests a complete charge transfer process within the CT complexes.

Summary: Through the formation of ROS, the surface charge of Nb2O5 was modified, leading to an improved adsorption efficiency for CIP. Enhanced removal of CIP in the dark and in the presence of H2O2 was mainly determined by the adsorption process.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of phosphate dopants on the reactivity of Nb2O5-based nanomaterials in the combined catalytic activation of H2O2 and the elimination of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The results show that phosphate doping significantly enhances the ability of Nb2O5 to activate H2O2, as well as to adsorb and degrade MB. Under strongly acidic conditions, the modified catalysts with a Nb/P molar ratio of 5/1 exhibit a 6-fold increase in efficiency for MB removal compared to the parent Nb2O5.

Summary: In this study, TiO2-graphite photocatalysts were synthesized using a one-step in situ microwave procedure, and the influence of graphite content on the crystal structure, surface area development, and optical properties of the photocatalysts was determined. The presence of graphite caused a red shift in the absorption spectra, and a tailor-made LED photoreactor was designed to match the spectrum of the photocatalyst and the light source, resulting in enhanced elimination of sulfamethoxazole. The TiO2-graphite systems showed higher sulfamethoxazole removal efficiency compared to the reference TiO2, and exhibited good reusability, suggesting the potential of this spectral matching approach for wastewater treatment plants.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated whether sea spray can act as a secondary source of chlorinated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the terrestrial Arctic. They analyzed polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides concentrations in fresh snow and seawater samples, and conducted isotopic analysis to support their interpretations. The results show a significant correlation between POPs concentrations and proximity to the sea, suggesting that sea spray can indeed contribute to the presence of chlorinated POPs in the Arctic.

Summary: Cu-ZSM-5 zeolites have promising NH3-SCR activity over a wide range of temperatures. The challenges in preparing Cu-ZSM-5 include reducing cost and simplifying the preparation process. The one-pot method using the Cu-amine complex as a template is a successful strategy, but there is still a lack of methods for preparing Cu-ZSM-5. In this study, a one-pot method using the Cu-(EDA)(2) complex as a template is developed to prepare the Cu-ZSM-5-O catalyst.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of different ferrocene (Fc) anchoring methods on the efficiency of incorporating Fc onto the surface of mesoporous silica SBA-15 and the reactivity and stability of these hybrid organic-inorganic materials in the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) through photocatalytic, Fenton, and photo-Fenton processes. The results showed that Friedel-Crafts alkylation was the most effective anchoring method for Fc, while Schiff base formation was the least effective. All materials exhibited negligible reactivity in the photocatalytic process but could degrade CIP in the presence of H2O2 (Fenton process), with the highest efficiency observed in the photo-Fenton reaction. The click reaction method resulted in the most reactive Fc species and the catalyst prepared using azide-alkyne cycloaddition exhibited the highest stability over three reaction cycles. Therefore, the click reaction was found to be the best method for preparing Fc-containing catalysts for CIP degradation.
