Summary: This study investigates the effect and mechanism of different anions on the activation properties of potassium-doped magnetic biochar (KMBC). The results show that KMBC modified with potassium sulfate (KMBCK2SO4) exhibits the highest removal rate (98.40%) for metronidazole (MNZ). It is confirmed that the increase in Fe(II) content through potassium salts modification plays a dominant role in improving the activation performance of KMBC.

Summary: Peracetic acid is widely used as a disinfectant in water treatment due to its effectiveness and ease of use. However, its chemical behavior is still debated. This study found that peracetic acid itself can contribute to the formation of potentially carcinogenic compounds, in addition to its ability to form halogenated byproducts in the presence of organic matter and halides.

Summary: Breakpoint chlorination is an effective method to remove ammonium ion from source waters in drinking water treatment technologies, but it results in the formation of halogenated organic byproducts. This paper demonstrates that pre-oxidative treatment with the Fe(II)/Fe(III) - S(IV) - air system can decrease the concentration of halogenated species precursors and improve the control of antagonistic byproducts.

Summary: A two-stage process combining flocculation and iron-carbon micro-electrolysis plus sodium persulfate (ICEPS) advanced oxidation was developed to effectively treat flowback and produced water (FPW) from the Sulige tight gas field in China. The flocculation-ICEPS system at optimal conditions removed the majority of organic content, suspended solids, and chroma. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed changes in the chemical compositions of FPW during the ICEPS process. The study suggests that the flocculation-ICEPS system is a promising treatment process for FPW.

Summary: The study found that the destruction efficiency of ENO in the pilot-scale PE pipe was lower than in deionized water, and the reactions in deionized water followed a second-order kinetic model. pH had a significant effect on ENO destruction, with removal ratio increasing at higher pH levels. Increasing flow rate also elevated ENO removal efficiency, but impact of flow velocity on ENO destruction was limited.

Summary: The addition of Fe(III) to the Vis/PS system significantly enhances the degradation efficiency of pollutants. Photosensitivity pollutants can boost Fe(III) to produce Fe(II) under visible light irradiation. Fe(III) rapidly combines with LVF in aqueous environments to form Fe(III)-LVF complexes. The production of Fe(IV) in the Vis/PS/Fe(III) system plays a vital role in boosting LVF degradation.

Summary: Quinones such as methyl-p-benzoquinone (MBQ) are widely distributed potential pollutants in the environment. This study introduced MBQ into the Fe(III)/peroxydisulfate system (Fe(III)/PDS) to enhance the conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) and the degradation of atrazine (ATZ), establishing an environmentally friendly system for treating pollution. The MBQ/Fe(III)/PDS system showed better performance than the traditional Fe(II)/PDS system within a pH range of 2-7. Sulfate radical (SO4 center dot-) and hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) were detected in the MBQ/Fe(III)/PDS system, indicating their involvement in the degradation process.

Summary: The study investigated the physical and chemical interactions between fracturing additives and shale particles at high temperatures during natural gas extraction. The experiments showed that treating shale particles with chemical additives can influence the chemistry of flowback fluid. An optimized laser-based Particle Size Analysis method was developed, revealing no difference in particle size across treatments after incubation. This research provides key information on how changing water chemistry is linked to specific fracturing additives and contributes to understanding fluid-rock interactions.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of an air filtration method, CR Box, on indoor air concentrations of SVOCs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The deployment of CR Boxes in an office building resulted in lower concentrations of several PFAS and phthalates. However, there were also increases in the concentrations of certain PFAS and phthalates, although these increases were not statistically significant. The results suggest that CR Boxes can reduce exposure to certain SVOCs but may contribute to increased sound levels.

Summary: This study demonstrates that powdered activated carbon (PAC) can be used as a method of persulfate activation to effectively degrade perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and 1,4-dioxane at different temperatures. The activation occurs at the surface of the PAC, as indicated by the increase in the PAC C:O ratio. Singlet oxygen was found to not be the main oxidizing species in the reaction. The combination of PAC and persulfate offers a low-cost treatment option for the simultaneous destruction of PFOA and 1,4-dioxane.

Summary: Non-targeted analysis (NTA) and suspect screening analysis (SSA) are powerful techniques that use high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and computational tools to detect and identify unknown or suspected chemicals in the exposome. This review examines the use of different NTA and SSA methods in various exposure media and human samples, and discusses the chemicals that have been detected. The review also identifies knowledge and technology gaps that need to be addressed for a more comprehensive assessment of chemical exposures using NTA.

Summary: Alkenones are widely used as paleotemperature biomarkers, and the traditional methods of analysis, such as GC-FID and GC-CI-MS, face challenges with matrix interference and low concentrations. This study demonstrates that HPLC-MS methods provide excellent resolution, selectivity, linearity, and sensitivity for alkenones in complex matrices. The comparison of different mass detectors and ionization modes reveals the advantages of ESI and orbitrap MS for alkenone analyses, with orbitrap MS showing the lowest limit of detection and widest linear dynamic range.

Summary: Methylparaben (MP) and propylparaben (PP) are commonly used preservatives that are detected in the majority of US women and children and have been found to stimulate mammary tumor growth and invasion in vitro. In this study, mice exposed to MP or PP showed increased mammary tumor volume and pulmonary metastases, as well as differential expression of mammary tumor genes. Both parabens were found to activate human estrogen receptors and impair tumor RNA metabolism. These findings suggest that parabens may contribute to mammary cancer metastasis and highlight the role of spliceosome activity in breast cancer metastasis.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
