Cobalt and nitrogen co-doped monolithic carbon foam for ultrafast degradation of emerging organic pollutants via peroxymonosulfate activation.

Cobalt-based catalysts are expected as one of the most promising peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activators for the removal of organic pollutants from industrial wastewater. However, the easy agglomeration, difficult separation, and secondary pollution of cobalt ions limit their practical application. In this study, a novel, highly efficient, reusable cobalt and nitrogen co-doped monolithic carbon foam (Co-N-CMF) was utilized to activate PMS for ultrafast pollutant degradation.

Renewable and robust biomass waste-derived Co-doped carbon aerogels for PMS activation: Catalytic mechanisms and phytotoxicity assessment.

Developing monolithic carbon-based catalyst with low cost, easy separation and high performance to degrade pollutants via PMS activation is crucial. In this work, a series of novel monolithic Me-CA catalysts based on biomass derived carbon aerogel were prepared by hydrothermal method using waste watermelon peel as raw material. Co-CA catalyst showed excellent performance to activate PMS for 2, 4-DCP degradation in different temperature and different water matrices.

Transcriptome Analysis of Chinese Chestnut ( Blume) in Response to Yasumatsu Infestation.

Chinese chestnut ( Blume) can be infested by Yasumatsu, resulting in gall formation and yield losses. Research on the control of gall wasps using genomics approaches is rarely reported. We used RNA-seq to investigate the dynamic changes in the genes of a chestnut species ( B.
