Summary: Cobalt-mediated perovskite oxides (Ca-Fe-Co-x) were prepared as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for tetracycline degradation. The Ca-Fe-Co-1.0 sample showed the highest degradation rate of 80.5% under neutral conditions and maintained around 80% after four cycles. The mechanism involved the enhanced activation of H2O2 to superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by the redox reactions of Fe2+/Fe3+ and Co2+/Co3+.

Summary: A novel composite (nZVI/HNTs) was prepared by incorporating nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) on halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) with the presence of persulfate (PS). The nZVI/HNTs + PS system exhibited satisfactory degradation efficiency (84.21%) for TCH, and stable nZVI/HNTs could be reused. The quenching tests and EPR analysis showed that SO4- was the dominant quencher instead of OH in this system. Three possible pathways of TCH degradation were identified through LC-MS determination. Additionally, the biological toxicity prediction analysis indicated that the nZVI/HNTs + PS system is an environmentally friendly treatment method for TCH pollution.

Summary: In this study, a new composite adsorbent (BC-MA) was developed by impregnating bio-waste bagasse with magnesium-aluminum layered double oxides for the removal of tetracycline (TC). BC-MA exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 250.6 mg g(-1) due to its developed porous structure, large surface area, and reinforced functional groups. BC-MA showed excellent adsorption capacity in diverse water environments and sustainable regeneration ability. The adsorption process of TC by BC-MA was spontaneous and endothermic, and intraparticle diffusion was the rate-limiting stage. The proposed mechanisms involved pi-pi interactions, pore filling, complexation, and hydrogen bonding. These findings suggest that the synthesis of modified biochar from bagasse offers new opportunities for waste resource reuse and water pollution control.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption of tetracycline onto different clays and analyzed the adsorption mechanisms and influencing factors. Bentonite showed the highest adsorption capacity due to its swelling characteristic, interlayer cations, and tetracycline molecular size. Adsorption occurred on the external surface and in the interlayer space of bentonite, with both physical and chemical mechanisms involved. The adsorption process was partially reversible and endothermic.

Summary: This study focused on the semihydrogenation of acetylene in an ethylene-rich stream using two alloyed Pt catalysts PtCu and PtCo. The PtCu catalyst showed higher activity and ethylene yield compared to PtCo due to its higher unoccupied Pt d-orbital density. This indicates that alloying Pt with Cu is more promising for industrial relevant SHA catalyst.

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.
