Summary: In this study, SrTiO3-SrCO3 composites with different contents of SrCO3 were synthesized and their morphological, structural, and optical properties were investigated. The results showed improved photocatalytic efficiency in the degradation of DCFNa for all the studied composites. The highest mineralization efficiency was obtained for the sample with 21 wt% SrCO3 content. The presence of SrCO3 led to an increased concentration of active species and inhibited the production of CH4 and C2H6 during CO2 photoreduction.

Summary: A simple chemical reduction process was used to prepare a nanocomposite of strontium titanate perovskite nanoparticles (SrTiO3 NPs) embedded in reduced graphene oxide (RGO-SrTiO3 NC). The RGO-SrTiO3 NC exhibited an optical band gap of 3.24 eV and a significantly lower crystallite size (31.69 nm) compared to SrTiO3 NPs (56.93 nm). The presence of RGO in the RGO-SrTiO3 NC was confirmed by Raman investigation, and modification of SrTiO3 by RGO was revealed by XPS analysis. The DSSC fabricated using the RGO-SrTiO3 NC photoanode showed an enhanced efficiency of 5.42% compared to SrTiO3 NPs (2.59%) due to the highly conducting RGO.

Summary: A three-dimensional TiO2/reduced graphene oxide (TiO2-rGO) aerogel with enhanced interfacial charge transfer was synthesized using a hydrothermal method, showing excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Reactive Red 24 (RR24) dyes. The photocatalytic degradation rate of TiO2-rGO aerogel was more than 3.8 times that of pure TiO2 and more than 2.7 times that of TiO2-GO aerogel. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was attributed to the increased pi-conjugated structure of rGO, which improved interfacial charge transfer and inhibited electron-hole pairs recombination. The active species in the photocatalytic degradation process were suggested to be center dot OH and center dot O-2(-). These findings provide a significant reference for the preparation of high-performance TiO2-based photocatalysts.

Summary: This study investigated the continuous removal of BR46 dye pollutant using modified adsorbents of hardened rings made from Portland cement. Results demonstrated that increasing contact time and percentage of modifier enhanced BR46 removal, while increasing flow rate and concentration of BR46 decreased removal efficiency. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were used for data analysis, with the first-order kinetic model fitting well with the experimental data. The modified adsorbents were efficient for BR46 removal.

Summary: Introducing defects into porous metal-organic frameworks is important for improving their adsorption performance. Quasi-MOFs, an underutilized variant of large-scale, fundamentally deficient MOFs, have been found to have substantial amounts of unsaturated metal sites to offset the drawbacks of MOFs. In this study, a quasi-MOF was produced using a water-stable MOF and demonstrated significantly improved phosphate adsorption capability due to the presence of defect sites.

Summary: This study focuses on the recovery of sinapic acid using liquid-liquid extraction assisted by a hollow fiber membrane contactor from an aqueous feed obtained through the hydrolysis of mustard bran. The screening of solvents of different chemical nature showed that all tested solvents had an extraction efficiency of more than 80% for pH < 5. Four solvents were selected for use in the hollow fiber membrane contactor, and the volatile solvents showed higher mass transfer coefficients compared to non-volatile solvents. The extraction efficiency was intensified by increasing the initial concentration of sinapic acid and the feed-to-solvent ratio. CPME was found to have optimal recovery efficiency at a phase ratio of 8:1, yielding 0.9 g of sinapic acid per liter of CPME used.

Summary: In this study, a nanofibrous layered structure of Ff-Ti3C2Tx-Co3O4 was prepared by self-assembling nanofibrous Co3O4 with lamellar fluorine-free MXene (Ff-Ti3C2Tx). The Ff-Ti3C2Tx-Co3O4 exhibited excellent catalytic activity for degradation, resistant to ionic interference, and maintained high removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in municipal wastewater. The rapid SMX degradation involved fast electron transfer in redox cycles with PMS and the generation of 1O2 via PMS ->center dot O2 -> 1O2. This work provides new insights into antibiotic degradation mechanisms and electron transfer based on PMS activation.

Summary: In this study, sludge-derived biochar (SBC) was functionalized with various iron salts to enhance its adsorption ability for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and magnetic collection performance. Ball milling was further employed to treat the optimal iron salt functionalized SBC (MSBC), resulting in ball milled SBC (BMSBC) with improved adsorption performance for SMX. The dominant driving mechanism for SMX adsorption onto BMSBC was confirmed to be multiple physicochemical forces, including 7C-7C conjugation, pore filling, H-bonding, Fe-O complexation, and electrostatic interactions. BMSBC exhibited favorable adsorption ability for SMX in actual waters and could be easily collected within 1 min due to its magnetic sensitivity.
