Summary: In this study, a three-layer Fe-0@SiO2@CaO2 nanocomposite was developed, which achieved the removal of various water contaminants through oxidation, reduction, and flocculation. The removal rates of tetracycline, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, chromium, and phosphorus exceeded 99%. Additionally, the nanocomposite showed excellent performance in turbidity removal and water decolorization. This research provides a novel material for simultaneous removal of multiple contaminants in wastewater treatment.

Summary: Hemicellulose, as a main component of agricultural and forestry biomass, has abundant source, biodegradability, nontoxicity and good biocompatibility. However, the mechanical properties and barrier properties of hemicellulose films are not sufficient, and modification for enhancement is still a challenge. Therefore, blending hemicellulose with nanofibers or nanoparticles has attracted research attention for efficient improvement in properties and cost efficiency in food packaging.

Summary: PMAA and PMAA/HQ were synthesized through free radical polymerization and characterized using UV-vis, FT-IR, XRD spectral studies. The UV-vis spectrum of both polymers showed transitions due to pi -> pi* at different wavelengths, indicating different properties between PMAA and PMAA/HQ. The anticorrosion studies revealed that PMAA/HQ has a more significant corrosion inhibition potency compared to PMAA.
