“…The synergistic integration of advanced oxidation and membrane filtration can bring obvious benefits, because one method complements the advantages and overcomes the challenges of the other. For instance, nanofiltration has been proposed in combination with Fenton 18 , photo-Fenton 19,20 , and photocatalysis 21,22 to concentrate pollutants, thus improving degradation kinetics, while organics in the concentrate stream are fully mineralized. However, integrated photocatalytic-membrane systems are still complex and expensive for an implementation on a real scale, since they need to be activated by exposure to light with proper wavelength 23 .…”

Natural water bodies and treated wastewaters contain an increasing variety of organic micropollutants with a negative impact on ecosystems and human health. Herein, we propose an integrated process based on membrane distillation and advanced oxidation, in which thermal energy is simultaneously used to drive the permeation of pure water through a hydrophobic membrane and to activate the generation of reactive oxygen species by a thermocatalytic perovskite, namely Ce-doped strontium ferrate. At a feed temperature of 65°C, our thermocatalytic distillation apparatus can effectively retain and degrade bisphenol A, as model pollutant, while producing distilled water at the constant rate of 1.60 ± 0.03 L h −1 m −2 , over four continuous runs. Moreover, the membrane makes degradation faster by concentrating the pollutant during filtration. Our technology is effective in the production of pure water without creating a toxic concentrate, it relies on simple process design, and it does not require high pressure or additional chemicals. In addition, it can potentially work continuously driven by renewable thermal energies or waste heat.

The specific compositions of human excreta in sewage can be used as biomarkers to indicate the disease prevalence, health status, and lifestyle of the population living in the investigated catchment. It is important for guiding and evaluating public health policies as well as promoting human health development. Among several parameters of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), the decay of biomarkers during transportation in sewer and storage plays a crucial role in the back-calculation of population consumption. In this paper, we summarized the stability data of common biomarkers in storage at different temperatures and in-sewer transportation. Among them, cardiovascular drugs and antidiabetic drugs are very stable which can be used as biomarkers; most of the illicit drugs are stable except for cocaine, heroin, and tetrahydrocannabinol which could be substituted by their metabolites as biomarkers. There are some losses for part of antibiotics and antidepressants even in frozen storage. Rapid detection of contagious viruses is a new challenge for infectious disease control. With the deeper and broader study of biomarkers, it is expected that the reliable application of the WBE will be a useful addition to epidemiological studies. Graphical Abstract

In this work, multifunctional knitted fabrics with ultraviolet resistance and antibacterial properties are presented. The functional coating was fabricated on cotton fabric through a facile one step pad-dry process after being dipped in benzotriazole derivative and titanium dioxide mixture solution. Alkali catalyzed polymerization was applied to synthesis amino-benzotriazole, which could form covalent bonds with cellulose after fixation on cotton fiber. The coating was compacted and agglutinated to the cotton fibers, which were observed by scanning electron microscopy, the wash fastness also revealed the bonding capacity. The ultraviolet protection factor was calculated by the transmittance value, the results illustrated tremendous improvement in the ultraviolet protection factor of the functionalized knitted fabrics, since the energy absorption and surface nanoparticles scatters of incident ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, the attenuation rate of ultraviolet resistance is low. The bursting strength, pilling resistance, air permeability and moisture resistance of the functionalized knitted fabrics demonstrated their good wearing comfort properties. In addition, the as-constructed fabrics also showed a strong ability to resist Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
