Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) MXene materials have been recognized as a new candidate
for the development of robust catalytic systems to promote the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) …

Pharmaceuticals can escape conventional wastewater treatments, causing environmental
risks. Magnetic, chemically functionalized carbon adsorption is a promising complementary …

Nanoplastics (NPs) can contaminate water sources and living organisms, posing significant
challenges for removal due to their small size and complex surface properties. There is a …

Discarded plastics in natural environments contribute significantly to “white pollution” due to
their high persistence and potential for bioaccumulation. Improperly managed waste plastics …

Biological treatment of styrene-containing petrochemical wastewater usually suffers from
styrene volatility and its toxicity to microorganisms. The main aim of the present study was to …

The petrochemical industry is regarded as a potential source of microplastics release, and
the problem of microplastics pollution caused by it cannot be ignored. Although the …

The widespread presence of nanoplastics in water environment has become a prominent
threat to human health, and it is urgent to develop low-carbon and efficient nanoplastic …

In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were loaded onto CoFe 2 O 4 spinel oxides
through a hydrothermal method to synthesize magnetic nanocomposites (CFOC 0.07). The …

Metal oxide catalysts can significantly enhance the efficiency of the peroxydisulfate (PDS)
activation to decompose refractory organic pollutants, and advanced strategies for improving …

Facilitating the dissociation and transfer of light-excited electrons and holes in
semiconductors is crucially important for enhancing their photocatalytic activities and …
