Pig manure-derived nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon for adsorption and catalytic oxidation of tetracycline.

Ordered nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (NMC) was successfully synthesized with pig manure as the precursor. The resulting NMC materials exhibited excellent capacity of adsorption and potassium persulfate (PS) activation when used as catalysts for the oxidative degradation of tetracycline antibiotics (tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) as the target). For an initial TH concentration of 35 mg/L, the maximum adsorption capacity of NMC material prepared at 700 °C (NMC700) was 122.

Boron-, sulfur-, and phosphorus-doped graphene for environmental applications.

The control of environmental pollutants is a global concern. Recently, heteroatom-doped graphene has drawn increasing attention due to their widespread applications in removing and detecting environmental pollutants. Owing to the introduction of heteroatoms into pristine graphene, the properties of heteroatom-doped graphene have been significantly enhanced in physic, chemistry, and biology.
