Summary: Finding eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies for degrading contaminants is imperative. Coupling the effect of Ti/PbO2 at the anode with heterogeneous electro-Fenton proved to be an efficient method. Optimization of processing conditions and waste slag dosage improved the degradation efficiency. Heterogeneous Ti/PbO2-electro-Fenton using industrial pyrite waste slag as catalyst was an environmentally friendly technology and provided a recycling method for traditional wastes.

Summary: RhZn intermetallic nanoparticles have been developed as an exceptional catalyst for efficient heterogeneous hydroformylation, showing high activity and selectivity compared to traditional homogeneous catalysts. Density functional theory calculations reveal that RhZn surfaces reduce the binding strength of reaction intermediates and have lower activation energy barriers, leading to more favorable reaction energetics. Additionally, potential catalyst design strategies for achieving high regioselectivity have been predicted.

Summary: This study enhances the catalytic efficiency of pyrite by pre-reaction with hydrogen peroxide to degrade recalcitrant contaminants. By optimizing factors such as pre-reaction time, hydrogen peroxide concentration, solution pH, and dye concentration, efficient degradation of contaminants using natural pyrite was achieved. Enhanced dye degradation was attributed to the production of hydroxyl radicals facilitated by self-regulation of pH, Fe2+ release, and Fe2+/Fe3+ cycle.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different carbon materials on the pyrite-catalyzed Fenton oxidation of ciprofloxacin. The results showed that all three carbon materials accelerated the Fenton oxidation reaction. Activated carbon (AC) had a higher adsorption capacity for ciprofloxacin, which enhanced the pyrite-catalyzed Fenton oxidation. The addition of carbon materials promoted the production of hydroxyl radicals, favoring the degradation of ciprofloxacin.

Summary: Hydroxyapatite (HA), the most common bioceramic material, is a promising catalyst support. Highly crystalline and mono-dispersed silver doped hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA) nanorods of 60 nm length were successfully synthesized through hydrothermal processing. The silver dopant improved chemisorption for crystal violet (CV) contaminant and enhanced the negative charge on the catalyst surface, leading to enhanced chemisorption of positively charged contaminants. Ag-HA nanocomposite showed high activity against Gram-positive bacteria and inhibited biofilm formation, making it a potential green bioceramic photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different treatment methods on textile industry wastewater and found that combining EF with a BDD anode can efficiently remove TOC in a short period of time, while AO is more effective in controlling the formation of degradation by-products. A trade-off between TOC removal and the formation of toxic by-products should be considered during the treatment process.

Summary: This study compared the generation of oxidants in a heterogeneous way and a homogeneous way for the treatment of textile industry wastewater. Both approaches achieved high TOC removal, with the electro-Fenton process being faster and more efficient for effluent discoloration, and the anodic oxidation process more effective in limiting the formation of degradation by-products. An advantage of anodic oxidation was its ability to treat alkaline effluent without pH adjustment. However, using a boron-doped diamond anode led to high concentrations of ClO3-/ClO4- formation, which poses a challenge for effluent treatment. By comparison, the electro-Fenton process with a Pt anode significantly reduced the formation of ClO3-/ClO4-. Further research is needed to find a balance between TOC removal and the formation of toxic chlorinated by-products.

Summary: Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are commonly used as additives in various industries, and they can have long-lasting adverse effects on the environment due to their inability to chemically bond with materials. A meta-analysis of 58 articles containing 2676 samples from 10 countries revealed that China had the highest concentration of OPEs in water resources, with over 715 μg/L for certain OPEs. Monte-Carlo simulations showed that despite concentrations being within acceptable limits, 95% of the population may still be at risk.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
