Summary: Traditionally salted eggs are high in salt content, but this study successfully developed a method of producing mildly salted eggs using ozonized brine. The ozonized brine resulted in lower salt levels and higher hardness in both the albumen and yolk of the salted eggs. The protein carbonyl content in the albumen was higher in the ozonized brine group, but after boiling, it became comparable to that of fresh albumen.

Summary: The aim of this review is to promote a multi-disciplinary and integrated research approach that investigates the molecular basis of ozone treatment effects on human and animal well-being. The goal is to optimize the reproducibility, quality, and safety of these treatments by addressing current uncertainties. Healthcare professionals who choose to use ozone as a medicinal product have the responsibility to understand its mechanism of action, personalize therapy, and meet quality standards.

Summary: In this study, calcium oxide was used as a catalyst to investigate its effectiveness and reaction mechanism in phenol wastewater treatment. The experimental results showed that the COD removal rate of phenol reached 100% in 20 minutes with the catalytic ozonation process using calcium oxide. It was found that Ca2+ in the catalyst promoted the formation of active free radicals.

Summary: Ozone was used to oxidize cuprite in a sulfuric acid solution, resulting in a significant improvement in its leaching rate. Various characterizations were conducted to verify the oxidation leaching mechanism and observe the surface morphology of cuprite. The findings suggest that ozone effectively oxidized cuprite and enhanced its leaching process.

Summary: This study presents an efficient method for treating wastewater with a high benzotriazole concentration, using a combinational UV/H2O2/O-3 system under basic conditions. By introducing O-3 to the UV/H2O2 system, the degradation of benzotriazole can be promoted, with the optimal conditions leading to complete removal of BTZ and a significant reduction in COD.

Summary: Hydroxylation of the catalytic surface provides a new strategy for boosting the degradation of refractory volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at room temperature. This study demonstrates the successful ozone catalytic oxidation (OZCO) of toluene using a hydroxyl-mediated MnOx/Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst exhibits excellent toluene degradation performance, with complete removal, high mineralization rate, and catalytic stability.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the adsorption influence of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the oxidative degradation of 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) and its by-products in traditional wastewater treatment plants (WTPs). The results showed that MIPs can efficiently adsorb 4-NP, with maximum adsorption capacities of 201.1 mg/L and 500 mg/L, and the degradation percentages of 4-NP under ozone and UV conditions can reach 98-100%. The findings are significant for the identification and removal of emerging pollutants and their degradation by-products in environmental matrices.

Summary: A unique triple perovskite-type catalyst was synthesized using the sol-gel approach and acid modification, which showed excellent activity in the removal of toluene in the ozone catalytic oxidation process. The La3MnCuNiO9 catalyst treated with KMnO4 exhibited the highest toluene oxidation activity, with a conversion rate of 100% and mineralization rate of 83% at 250 degrees C. The catalyst had a high Mn4+/(Mn4++Mn3+) ratio, abundant surface oxygen species, high specific surface area, and pore volume, leading to remarkable catalytic performance and stability.
