Growing concerns over the risk of accidental releases of oil into the marine environment
have emphasized our need to improve both oil spill preparedness and response strategies …

Oxygen activation is a key step in the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at room
temperature. In this study, we synthesized a carbon/Co3O4 nanocomposite (C-Co3O4) as a …

Oil spills represent a major source of negative environmental impacts in marine systems.
Despite many decades of research on oil spill behavior, photochemistry was neglected as a …

Indoor formaldehyde (HCHO) pollution receives wide concerns, it is still a challenge to
remove low-level HCHO at high gas-hourly space velocity (GHSV) at room temperature …

While chemical dispersants are a powerful tool for treating spilled oil, their effectiveness can
be limited by oil weathering processes such as evaporation and emulsification. It has been …

Room-temperature catalytic oxidation is a highly promising method for controlling
formaldehyde (HCHO) concentrations indoors because it does not require any additional …

Develo** cost-effective non-noble catalysts for completely decomposing formaldehyde
(HCHO) into harmless CO 2 and H 2 O at room temperature remains great challenges for …

Petroleum products in the environment can produce significant toxicity through
photochemically driven processes. Burning surface oil and photochemical degradation were …

Highlights•Oil photooxidation is increasingly recognized as an import process that
determines the fate of oil after a marine oil spill.•Novel analytical tools allow for detecting a …

About half of the surface oil floating on the Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath of the 2010
Deepwater Horizon spill was transformed into oxygenated hydrocarbons (OxHC) within days …
