Solar light–based advanced oxidation processes for degradation of methylene blue dye using novel Zn-modified CeO2@biochar

Advances in boron nitride-based nanomaterials for environmental remediation and water splitting: a review

“…Synthetic dyes have aromatic components and are often resistant to oxidizing chemicals, light, and heat. 119 They are also not biodegradable. 120 They damage aquatic life and make the water less transparent.…”

Sustainability-driven photocatalysis: oxygen-doped g-C3N4 for organic contaminant degradation

“…5 As a critical area of environmental research and technology, photodegradation is essential for reducing the harmful effects of organic pollutants and toxins on ecosystems and human health. 6,7 Advanced photocatalytic materials have drawn much attention because they provide effective and sustainable methods for removing resistant organic molecules from various environmental matrices. 8,9 As a competitor among these materials, oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (O@g-C 3 N 4 ) has shown great promise in photodegradation.…”

Insights into O2 Activation via MnIIIOOH Species on Mn-Rich Biochar

“…M-BC can be used in biochar-based advanced oxidation processes without the need for external metal loading. This avoids metal leaching and makes the process more sustainable. − When internal metals are transition metals (such as Mn, Fe, and Zn), they can activate persulfate to degrade organic pollutants efficiently . Persulfates can be activated through two pathways: one involving nonfree radicals and the other generating reactive oxygen species (ROS).…”
