Environment-friendly and cost-effective disposal and reutilization of sludge wastes are
essential in wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs). Converting activated sludge into …

Azo dyes are largely used in many industries and discharged in large volumes of their
effluents into the aquatic environment giving rise to non-esthetic pollution and health-risk …

Nitrogen-doped biochar encapsulating Fe/Mn nanoparticles (Fe/Mn@ NBC 800) was
synthesized as a cost-effective catalyst for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) towards the …

The discovery of carbon-based catalysts triggers a wealth of research towards metal-free
catalysis. Various low-cost and earth-abundant biomaterials have been investigated to …

In this study, the sludge activated carbon-based CoFe 2 O 4 (CoFe 2 O 4-SAC)
nanocomposites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method, which were …

Cost-effective and efficient sorbents with emulsion-breaking capability, especially surfactant-
stabilized emulsions, are required to remediate oil spills from water. Herein, in situ growth of …

In this work, low-cost carbon-based materials were developed via a facile one-pot pyrolysis
of oily sludge (OS) and used as catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for removing …

In this study, a heterogeneous activator was prepared via the Fe/Mn modification of sludge-
derived biochar (Fe/MnBC) to achieve high-efficiency activation of persulfate (PS) for …

The present study provided an innovative insight into the formation mechanism of persistent
free radicals (PFRs) during the pyrolysis of Fenton-conditioned sludge. Fenton conditioners …

Peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation by a novel magnetically recoverable reduced graphene
oxide (rGO)/MnFe 2 O 4 composite was studied for the removal of tetracycline (TC), a widely …
