Summary: A Z-scheme heterojunction polyhedral-shaped BiOIO3/MIL-53(Fe) photocatalyst was prepared by a solvothermal method, showing improved vapor-phase mercury removal efficiency compared to MIL-53(Fe). The optimal molar ratio of BiOIO3 and MIL-53(Fe) was found to be 2:1, reaching a Hg-0 removal efficiency of 74.19%. The proposed photocatalytic oxidation mechanism of Hg-0 by the BiOIO3/MIL-53(Fe) composite paves the way for further study on the electron transport channels between binary photocatalyst materials.

Summary: Utilization of semiconductor photocatalyst materials for degrading pollutants has gained significant research attention to address environmental pollution problems. In this study, a 2D/2D S-scheme CCN/BOI van der Waals heterojunction was successfully constructed to enhance the degradation efficiency of antibiotic contaminants. The optimized CCN/BOI-3 sample exhibited a remarkable degradation efficiency of 80% for tetracycline (TC) after 120 minutes of visible light irradiation, outperforming pure CCN and BOI. The enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the accelerated separation and transfer of carriers at the interface of the 2D/2D van der Waals heterojunction, as well as the elevated redox capacity provided by the S-scheme heterojunction.

Summary: In this study, a novel strategy was proposed to reduce the input of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the Fenton process. The designed Cu catalyst (G-Cu) with two functional regions (Cu0 and OVs) was able to produce H2O2 in situ and promote its activation over the catalyst surface. This strategy resulted in higher degradation efficiency of oxytetracycline (OTC) with a smaller dosage of H2O2.

Summary: Social development is often accompanied by pollution caused by technological progress. Antibiotics, as an essential resource of modern medical treatment, have become a hot topic in terms of environmental pollution. In this study, fish scales were used to synthesize a biochar catalyst (FS-BC) for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride. FS-BC demonstrated the best catalytic performance due to its excellent defect structure and the synergy of N, P heteroatoms. This research not only provides a reference for biochar selection, but also suggests a superior strategy for TC degradation in the environment.

Summary: Excessive use of tetracycline in livestock farming has caused serious pollution. A new method proposed the catalytic thermal degradation of tetracycline using iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and studied the mechanism. The annealing derivatives of three Fe-based MOFs showed better degradation performance than the raw materials due to the exposure of Fe-O clusters and the formation of oxygen vacancies. The optimum sample exhibited a degradation efficiency of 94.22% for tetracycline within 60 minutes at 70 degrees C.

Summary: The abandoned smelters in southern China have led to serious environmental and health hazards. A study on an abandoned zinc smelter in the region found high concentrations of heavy metals in soil samples, with zinc, cadmium, lead, and arsenic contamination being the most severe. Surface runoff, surface solid waste, atmospheric deposition, and parent material were identified as the main sources of heavy metals. Surface solid waste was identified as the priority control factor for human health risk, but only accounted for a small percentage of the metal contents. Mercury posed the highest ecological risk, while lead and arsenic contributed to non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks respectively. The findings emphasize the need for prioritizing control factors in the integrated management and cost-effective soil remediation of the region.
