Summary: Heterogeneous photocatalysis using TiO2 as a semiconductor has been applied to remove microcontaminants. In this study, TiO2 (Degussa P25) was immobilized on a PDMS membrane to enhance the degradation of a mixture of three parabens. The UV irradiation time and TiO2 slurry load were optimized to improve the photoactivity of supported TiO2. Results showed that 140 mg/L of TiO2 load achieved the highest removal of parabens under sunlight radiation.

Summary: UV treatments are commonly used for pollutant removal in industrial water. Introducing a suitable photocatalyst can enhance energy efficiency by producing reactive oxygen species to degrade pollutants. TiO2 is a common photocatalyst for UV illumination, often created through Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) of titanium substrates. High surface roughness and area on PEO samples enhance photocatalytic activity by disrupting fluid flow and increasing interaction between pollutants and the catalytic surface.

Summary: In this study, a multi-layer core-shell structure of SiO2@Ag@SiO2@TiO2 was synthesized as a photocatalyst for the degradation of dye pollutants. The optimal coating effect was achieved by using a mass ratio of AgNO3, TEOS, and TBOT to SiO2 at 5:2.4:6:1, and the core-shell structure showed the best photocatalytic activity. The degradation efficiency of the SiO2@Ag@SiO2@TiO2 photocatalyst was close to 93% after 45 minutes of simulated visible light irradiation, and it maintained a degradation efficiency of 90% after 4 cycles of recycling tests. This research has significant importance for water pollution control.

Summary: This paper presents a modification of titanium dioxide with fumed silica and investigates the characteristics and photocatalytic activity of the materials. The results show that the presence of SiO2 effectively inhibits the increase in crystallite size and decrease in specific surface area during calcination. SiO2 also contributes to the increase in specific surface area and the change in band gap energy values. The photocatalytic activity of SiO2/TiO2 photocatalysts is higher compared to the starting TiO2, and it increases with the increase in SiO2 content.

Summary: The study established the influence of the crystalline phase and agglomeration degree of TiO2 nanoparticles on photocatalytic hydroxyl radical formation and bacterial inactivation in TiO2/SiO2 composite coatings. A relationship between hydroxyl radicals' formation and charge carrier transfer mechanism between defect levels in SiO2 and TiO2 embedded nanoparticles was established through a simple spectroscopic method. This correlation complements the lack of mechanisms behind the photocatalytic activity in TiO2/SiO2 composites.

Summary: Monolithic support materials with the mechanical resistance and thermal conductivity of SiC, as well as tunable surface chemistry and textural properties, have been developed for use in catalytic membrane reactors. The skin applied onto the external wall and the infiltration of metal oxide nanoparticles into macropores allow for the immobilization of liquid phase catalysts. The resulting multimodal distribution of pore sizes can be tuned by various factors such as particle sizes, wash-coats, and calcination temperature.

Summary: Microplastics are a recognized global problem due to their presence in natural environments and the food chain. This study found that microplastics not only have an impact on human microbiota, but also undergo biotransformation in the gastrointestinal tract. The researchers observed that microplastics alter the composition of the human colonic microbial community, and hypothesized that some members of the microbiota adhere to the surface of microplastics, promoting the formation of biofilms. Considering the increasing exposure to microplastics in consumer products, it is important to investigate the effects of plastics on gut microbiome functionality and their potential degradation by intestinal bacteria.

Summary: This review provides an overview of multivariate data analysis (MVDA) for Raman spectroscopic data, focusing on the use of instrumentation and data calibration. Chemometric models are created by fusing analytical data from different sources, enhancing model discrimination and prediction abilities. Calibration models are used to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize samples measured with the same instrumentation, and regular validation is necessary. Model transfer and data fusion are important for harmonizing Raman spectroscopic data from different instrument designs. An open access database should be created and maintained to facilitate harmonization of new Raman instruments.

Summary: Pt-TiNT was prepared by synthesizing titanate nanosheets (TiNS) in a microwave-assisted flow reactor, followed by ion-exchange with a Pt precursor and thermal treatment. The Pt-TiNT exhibited higher activity compared to TiNT for photocatalytic oxidation under visible light and artificial solar lighting. The confinement of PtO clusters in the TiNT narrowed the bandgap and allowed for the activation of a broader spectral range of photons.

Summary: In this study, several supported liquid-phase (SLP) catalysts with immobilized Rh-biphephos complexes were prepared and used for continuous gas-phase hydroformylation of 1-butene. The SLP catalysts showed higher catalytic activity and selectivity towards the preferred linear aldehyde compared to the supports with smaller sized silica nanoparticles. Importantly, the prepared SLP catalyst systems demonstrated long-term stability in the hydroformylation reaction without significant formation of unwanted by-products.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

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.
