Evaluating the effects of water matrix constituents on micropollutant removal by activated carbon and β-cyclodextrin polymer adsorbents

Electro-Fenton degradation of a ternary pharmaceutical mixture and its application in the regeneration of spent biochar

“…7a reveals that the adsorption profiles were slower than the mixture in ultrapure water; however, after 90 min all the pollutants were adsorbed onto the biochar. Similar slow kinetics have been reported in several studies due to the adverse effect of organic matter contained in a real water matrix [43,44]. Interestingly, the initial TOC of the solution was 33.16 mg/L, and after pharmaceutical mixture adsorption, the solution achieved a TOC reduction of 4.75 mg/L.…”

Recent Advances on Fabrication of Polymeric Composites Based on Multicomponent Reactions for Bioimaging and Environmental Pollutant Removal

“…[ 1–4 ] These functional macromolecules have been widely employed in the fields of optoelectronic catalytic, [ 5,6 ] biomedical, [ 7,8 ] solar cell, [ 9,10 ] and environmental remediation. [ 11–19 ] Especially, the utilization of these functional polymers in biomedical and environmental remediation have attracted intensive attention from researchers around the world and is committed to preparation of targeted functional polymers with designable structures and specific properties. [ 7,14,16,19 ] For example, functional polymers should be inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability and well water dispersibility to meet the requirements for biomedical applications.…”

Green Synthesis and Optimization of 3D Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Network via Biomass Waste for Highly Efficient Bisphenol S Adsorption

“…[13,14] Adsorption is recognized as one of the most effective ones among the proposed water treatment approaches, because of its simple operation, strong practicability and ease of popularizing. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In recent years, a variety of adsorbents based on synthetic materials have been widely studied. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] It is generally accepted that reducing the cost is the key to realize the large-scale application of adsorbents.…”
