Summary: The study investigates the treatment of textile industrial wastewater through Fenton and Photo-Fenton oxidation processes. It was found that Photo-Fenton oxidation process is more effective than Fenton process in terms of achieving higher organic matter and color removal with less chemical usage at a lower total cost.

Summary: This study investigated the treatment of chemical industry wastewater by coagulation combined with Fenton or photo-Fenton oxidation processes. The coagulation with PAC achieved higher wastewater treatment compared to PACS and FeCl3 coagulants, while coagulation and Fenton oxidation showed efficient wastewater treatment with high COD, TOC, turbidity, and TSS removal. The application of photo-Fenton oxidation did not bring significant changes to the treatment.

Summary: In this study, different chemical species were used to treat poultry slaughterhouse wastewater under UV-C light. The combination of UV with 15mM of K2S2O8 resulted in the highest TOC removal efficiency and the lowest electric energy per order. The UV/K2S2O8 process could be used as a post-treatment after biological treatment to meet discharge water standards and reuse the wastewater.

Summary: Ionic liquids (ILs) are unique materials that can be used as solvents in industries, but their presence in wastewater can cause pollution. Finding efficient removal methods is crucial, and advanced oxidation process (AOP) is a significant technique. This review paper discusses the application and development of AOPs for the degradation of ILs and presents future perspectives.

Summary: The study developed a compact unit for greywater treatment by combining physical foam fractionation and photo-driven advanced oxidation. Evaluation of different parameters showed that the combination of foam fractionation with H2O2/Fe-IDS/UV-C was effective in COD removal and using sunlight as a light source for sustainability.

Summary: In this study, a robust dual catalyst of Ti-substituted LaFeO3 was synthesized for simultaneous photocatalytic wet peroxide oxidation to degrade carbofuran. The modified catalyst showed enhanced CBF degradation compared to the pristine LaFeO3 due to its reduced bandgap. Optimization of experimental parameters led to a 90.6% CBF removal rate within 180 minutes, demonstrating the catalyst's stability and efficiency.

Summary: Magnesium based alloys containing scandium and yttrium exhibit good kinetic and thermodynamic properties for hydrogen storage, making them a promising energy source. However, there is a lack of theoretical studies comparing the stability between systems doped with Y and Sc. In this study, we analyzed the stability and bonding nature of a series of MgEHn complexes (E = Sc and Y, n = 10-16) to understand the bonding between a hydrogen molecule and the metal blend. Our results suggest that yttrium-bonded hydrogen molecules are more labile for dehydrogenation compared to scandium-bonded molecules. Furthermore, based on QTAIM and EDA-NOCV calculations, we conclude that scandium alloys have tighter bonding with H2 molecules than yttrium alloys, resulting in a more thermodynamically favorable dehydrogenation reaction for the latter.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the interaction between Hg2+ and water molecules and reveal that relativistic effects lead to orbital interactions and the formation of stable open-shape clusters through the promotion of water hydrolysis. However, our solvation free energy analysis shows that closed-shape clusters with more oxygen-mercury contacts are more favorable when considering the transfer from the ideal gas to a solvated system.
