Paper-Based Microfluidic Sensors for Onsite Environmental Detection: A Critical Review.

A newly developed research topic, fabricated paper-based microfluidic sensors, was discussed in the field of low-cost environmental detection. Distinguished with the traditional dipstick or lateral-flow setups, these paper-based microfluidic sensors can serve as a tool for onsite quantitative and semi-quantitative measurements, without risks to cause environmental pollution. They have attracted increasing interest since the first easy-fabricated paper-based setup reported by Whitesides group in 2007.

[Degradation of 3,4- Dichlorobenzotrifluoride by Fe3O4/CeO2-H2O2 Heterogeneous Fenton-Like Systems].

The 3,4-Dichlorobenzotrifluoride (3,4-DCBTE) was dehalogenated with oxidation treatment by heterogeneous Fenton-like system, using nanoscale Fe304/CeO2 as a catalyst. This nanoscale catalyst was prepared by the impregnated method. As a highly active new heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst, nanoscale Fe304/CeO2 not only has the characteristics of the traditional Fenton-like catalyst but also can prevent the secondary pollution which caused by Fe2+.
