Summary: A FeMnCe-activated semi-coke catalyst (FeMnCe/ASC) was prepared using semi-coke as the raw material. The structure and morphology of the catalyst were characterized, and its catalytic activity and stability were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the degradation rates of ammonia nitrogen and COD reached 100%, and even after five times of recycling, the degradation rates still remained above 90%. The mechanism and pathway of piperazine degradation were also evaluated.

Summary: This study investigates the catalytic wet oxidation of phenol over a MnCeOx catalyst in the presence of high NaCl concentrations. The results show that the presence of NaCl promotes the oxidation of phenol by the catalyst and reduces carbon deposition, leading to enhanced mineralization of the wastewater. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the efficient regeneration of the MnCeOx catalyst in a salt water system.

Summary: In this study, Ce-modified Cu-based carbon materials (Cu-Ce/AC) were prepared and used as catalysts for the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) degradation of phenol wastewater. The research found that the stability of Cu-Ce/AC catalyst was weaker in acidic environment and maintained high activity in alkaline environment. The incomplete degradation intermediate products accumulated and blocked the active sites of the catalyst, leading to its deactivation. Additionally, a redox cycle between Cu and Ce was observed during phenol degradation, promoting the formation of oxygen vacancies and enhancing the degradation process.

Summary: Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) process was used to degrade phenol in wastewater, in which Pt-M (M=Pb, Cu) alloy catalysts with Pt0 and M2+ were developed. Pt-Pb/XC-72R exhibited high activity and stability in CWAO, while Pt-Pb/EC-300 rapidly deactivated. Pt-Pb was then replaced by Pt-Cu nanoparticles to maintain catalytic activity and stability, and increasing Cu2+ further enhanced the performance.

Summary: Laundry detergent wastewater is a valuable renewable resource that can be reused to alleviate water shortage issues. This study examines the effectiveness of catalytic ozonation treatment using a magnetically recoverable copper ferrite to treat surfactant-containing laundry wastewater. The results show that the copper ferrite exhibits excellent ozone activation ability and can achieve high surfactant degradation rates. The study also evaluates various parameters that affect the catalytic effect and compares it with non-catalytic ozonation.

Summary: This study proposes a mechanism using copper-loaded activated carbon to effectively remove stable and persistent low-concentration total cyanides (TCNs) in wastewater. The bimetallic synergy of copper-loaded activated carbon with zinc enhances cyanide removal capacity, surpassing most reported technologies. The weakening of conjugation effect and the presence of coupled metal ions contribute to the increased removal efficiency. Orbital hybridization plays a significant role in the recombination and deconjugation of conjugated pollutants, providing a new direction for the removal of refractory pollutants.

Summary: In this study, the high-gravity technique was employed to enhance the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation process using activated carbon as the catalyst for the removal of phenol from wastewater. The results showed that the high-gravity factors, inlet O3 concentration, liquid-gas ratio, and initial pH all had significant effects on the degradation and mineralization of phenol. The RPB/O3/AC system demonstrated higher mineralization rate compared to the bubbling reactor and RPB/O3 systems, indicating the synergistic effect of AC-catalyzed ozonation and high-gravity technique on the degradation of organic pollutants.

Summary: A protonated form of Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (H-ZSM-5) catalyst was synthesized through a hydrothermal method using different sources of silica. The effect of loading the catalyst with yttrium, samarium, and gadolinium on the acidic properties was investigated. Among the metal-loaded catalysts, the Sm/LHZ catalyst showed the best performance in the methanol to propylene conversion due to its high amount of weak and intermediate acid sites, while the Gd-LHZ catalyst increased the selectivity towards ethane and propane.

It is found that the particle size of silver can affect the selectivity of the catalyst, but different strategies lead to different results. In this size range, the selectivity of ethylene oxide is correlated to the Ag : Al2O3 surface ratio.

Summary: This study investigated a novel kinetic model for the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange using commercial ZnO and reduced ZnO photocatalysts. The results provided new insights into the interaction of catalysts with molecules of different charges and compared with a previous study on methylene blue. The presence of oxygen vacancies in ZnO and their effects on adsorption and photocatalytic degradation were analyzed, and the photocatalytic degradation rate of reduced ZnO was found to increase significantly.
