Current progress in treatment technologies for plastic waste (bisphenol A) in aquatic environment: Occurrence, toxicity and remediation mechanisms

Groundwater and Anthropic Activities: A Qualitative Study on Treatment Techniques

“…The combination of techniques may be an effective alternative for groundwater resource protection, combined with stricter legislation on groundwater use, and complemented by implementation of "naturalistic techniques" for soil protection (AJALA, et al [71,86,87]). Regions with vegetation cover propitiate the interception process of this recharge from rainfall, retaining part of the water volume for maintenance of seedling structures and soil microbiota (MARGRET, et al [39,72]).…”

“…The authors describe that in a direct comparison of zero-valent micron iron with nanovalent iron, which is widely used in groundwater metal removal, the cost of micron iron is about one hundred times lower, with a higher efficiency rate although the particle size is larger which results in low suspension stability and underground transportability. Nano particles have been increasingly used in in situ bioremediation or oxidation processes in groundwater (PANDEY, et al [68]), the costs are lower although several doubts still remain about the side effects (TIAN, et al [69]), the addition of microorganisms (IKHLAYEL [70]), (KATARIA, et al [71,72]) can increase the number of pathogens in aquifers, the backscatter that can occur by the adsorption of sand grains (MOFRADNIA, et al [73]), another difficulty encountered in in situ treatments are the tailings that can form the plum effect thus increasing the contamination plume.…”

β-CD-decorated BODIPY-based porous polymers for improved photodegradation

“…Industrial water pollution is one of the major contributors to the world's water shortage, and common pollutants such as dyes and phenols are highly toxic and carcinogenic to humans and aquatic life. [1][2][3][4][5] Bisphenol A (BPA) has been widely employed in industrial production, but the waste effluent can lead to severe deterioration of human health and detrimental effects on the ecosystem. 6,7 Various removal approaches have been developed, such as adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, membrane filtration, biodegradation, and photocatalytic degradation.…”

Bifunctional Calixarene-Decorated BODIPY-based Nanoporous Organic Polymers for the Efficient Photodegradation of Aqueous Organic Pollutants

“…Water pollution is one of the trade-offs of the development of human society. Industrial wastewater that contains organic dyes and phenols is often carcinogenic to human beings and the ecosystem, which calls for the development of removal technology. − Many approaches such as adsorption, photocatalysis, and Fenton process, are quickly updating and filling the gaps. , Among these, photocatalysis is deemed an ideal approach for removing organic pollutants because of the mildness and sustainability driven by visible light. , As the key species, photocatalysts play a vital role in advancing photocatalytic technology …”
