A photo-switch for peroxydisulfate non-radical/radical activation over layered CuFe oxide: Rational degradation pathway choice for pollutants

Study of interactions between rhodamine B and a beidellite-rich clay fraction

“…Sorption affects the mobility and bioavailability of organic pollutants in soils (Alexander, 1994; Warren et al , 2003; Yang et al , 2020a, 2020b). It depends on the overall soil structure and the presence of clay minerals, the nature of the pollutant and physicochemical conditions (notably pH and humidity) (Nam et al , 2003; Kah & Brown, 2006; Yang et al , 2018; Chen et al , 2020b; Liu et al , 2020; Yang et al , 2020b; Ye et al , 2020). The increase in retention on the porous solid phase of the soil reduces dispersion risk for these pollutants (Chen et al , 2020a; Yang et al , 2020a), but can in turn make it difficult for microbial agents present in the soil to remove them (Kah & Brown, 2006; An et al , 2017).…”

The utilization of Fe-doped g-C3N4 in a heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalytic system: the effect of different parameters and a system mechanism investigation

“…Nowadays, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are commonly recognized as potential alternative technologies for the treatment of refractory organic pollutants because of their simplicity, high efficiency, and easy handling. [1][2][3][4][5] Among the various available AOPs, the visible-light-induced heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process is considered an effective method for pollutant treatment. Compared with the traditional Fenton and photo-Fenton processes in homogeneous systems, it has shown many advantages, such as the efficient mineralization of organic pollutants, lower cost, good reusability, excellent chemical stability, and only precipitating small amounts of iron.…”

New Co-MnO based Nanocrsytallite for photocatalysis studies driven by visible light

“…Photodegradation of organic pollutants, dyesensitized solar cells, water splitting for hydrogen evolution, dye-sensitized lithium-ion batteries are examples of the solution to energy and environmental problems. Nowadays, advanced oxidation processes are being successfully utilized for the degradation of pollutants in environments [12][13][14]. Among these treatment methods, the semiconductor photocatalyst technique emerged as a green technology has resolved the burning issue of purification of non-selective organic pollutants floating in the environment and water [3,15,16].…”
