Summary: Advanced oxidation processes have been widely studied for their effectiveness in removing biorefractory pollutants from wastewater. However, there is a lack of suitable methods to compare the performance of different AOPs. This paper proposes a novel criterion, the accumulated oxygen-equivalent chemical-oxidation dose (AOCD), to systematically compare diverse AOPs.

Summary: This study aims to optimize a two-step treatment for mature landfill leachate using electrocoagulation (EC) followed by Fenton or UVA-LED photo-Fenton processes, in order to provide a more efficient and feasible treatment strategy that increases biodegradability and decreases conductivity. The research found that higher EC current density results in higher residual iron concentration, which can reduce treatment time for subsequent Fenton processes. Overall, the total COD removal rate was around 87%, with improvements in SUVA removal, conductivity reduction, and biodegradability.

Summary: Efficient and thorough water disinfection is crucial for protecting human health. This study investigated the use of UVA-LEDs, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and a boron-doped diamond anode in the UVA/electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) process to treat wastewater. The research found that the synergistic effect of UVA, anodic oxidation, and electro-Fenton can achieve complete disinfection within 50 minutes, with important reactive species like •OH, •O2, and 1O2 playing key roles in E. coli inactivation. The UVA/E-Fenton process was also found to effectively destroy cell structure and DNA. The study concluded that this process is a satisfactory method for water disinfection.

Summary: This study investigated the efficiency of the electro-Fenton (EF) process with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and an electrochemically exfoliated graphene-based cathode (EEGr) for the removal of ofloxacin (OFLO) from contaminated water. The EF-BDD process improved the decay kinetics of OFLO by 1.4-2.6 times and reduced disposal costs by 28%-41% compared to the anodic oxidation (AO) process with BDD anode. The simultaneous generation of homogeneous (center dot OH) and heterogeneous (BDD(center dot OH)) hydroxyl radicals in the EF-BDD process contributed to its superior performance for mineralization of OFLO. The EF-BDD process showed potential for the oxidative degradation of OFLO and other antibiotic organic pollutants.

Summary: This study compares UVA and UVC radiation for the removal of micropollutants in treated wastewater through the activation of H2O2 or S2O82-. The results indicate that UVC radiation leads to faster degradation rates, and S2O82- is photolyzed faster than H2O2. In treated wastewater, the presence of organic matter inhibits the degradation of estrogen, with stronger inhibitions observed in S2O82- processes.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the in-situ photocatalytic generation of H2O2 using ZnSe nanosheets combined with Fe2+ for Fenton reaction can effectively degrade dyes and antibiotics. The photo-Fenton degradation rate is higher than that of photocatalytic and Fenton processes alone. ZnSe also shows excellent stability and hydrophilicity, which facilitates the contact between the catalyst and pollutants. The kinetic analysis demonstrates that the photo-Fenton degradation of ZnSe follows a pseudo-first-order kinetic.

Summary: The performance of finely dispersed epsilon-MnO2 over two different self-organized TiO2 nanotubes (Ti/TiO2-NT) substrates used as templates was assessed. The formation of Ti(III)/oxygen vacancies was induced by a cathodic treatment (CT). The highest specific capacitance values were obtained when a CT was applied regardless of the substrate used. Furthermore, the hydroxylated surface produced during CT led to a decrease in charge transfer resistance and an increase in the TiO2-NT@MnO2 film conductivity.

Summary: A rapid and facile microwave-assisted method coupled with mild mechanical treatment was used to obtain Mn3O4 with good properties as a supercapacitor material. Mn3O4 was synthesized through thermal decomposition of epsilon-MnO2 using microwave irradiation. The resulting Mn3O4 had a single phase structure after only 5 minutes of microwave heating. A mild mechanical treatment further increased the particle size and specific surface area of Mn3O4. Electrochemical tests showed that the Mn3O4 electrodes had good pseudocapacitive behavior and electrochemical stability.

Summary: This study reports on the electropolishing of boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes in the presence of acetic and sulfuric acid. The electropolishing treatment resulted in a smoother diamond surface with reduced non-diamond carbon impurity content and increased surface oxygen content. The combination of electropolishing and cathodic pretreatment further decreased the surface oxygen content and improved the electrochemical reversibility and electron-transfer kinetics of the BDD electrodes. Electropolished BDD electrodes also exhibited a higher oxidation peak potential for ascorbic acid compared to as-received BDD electrodes, indicating a decrease in surface carbon-oxygen functional groups.

Summary: Silver nanoparticles (AgNp) were deposited on porous TiO2 surfaces to provide antimicrobial activity, and the surfaces were coated with bioresorbable polymer for controlled release of silver ions while maintaining biocompatibility. The AgNp-containing surfaces showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with better results for surfaces without the polymer coating. However, all surfaces exhibited good biocompatibility and the polymer-coated surfaces promoted greater cell differentiation. The electrospun polymer fibers allowed controlled release of silver ions in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) medium.

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.
