Article Synopsis
- PFAS are harmful due to their persistence in the environment and ability to accumulate in living organisms, necessitating effective remediation strategies for contaminated soil and water.
- Biochar has shown promise as a low-cost option for adsorbing PFAS, with this review highlighting its ability to immobilize these substances and reduce their ecological impact.
- The study emphasizes the need for further research on enhancing biochar's effectiveness for short-chain PFAS and understanding the role of surface charge and different forces in adsorption processes.
Article Synopsis
- Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is effective in reducing Cr(Ⅵ), but its performance diminishes over time due to passivation.
- The introduction of the bacterium MR-1 into an aged nZVI/biochar system significantly improved Cr(Ⅵ) reduction, particularly at a neutral pH, increasing removal rates by 51.3%.
- The study highlights that MR-1 aids in breaking down the passivation layers, enhancing nZVI's effectiveness and offering a promising approach for long-term environmental remediation of Cr(Ⅵ).
It is necessary to study the mechanism of resistance to heavy metals in microbiological processes. In this study, Ochrobactrum MT180101 was used as the microbial source of an membrane bioreactor to investigate its degradation efficiency for electroplating wastewater and the copper-resistant mechanism. Meanwhile, excitation emission matrix-parallel factor, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and proteome analyses were applied to explain the comprehensive mechanism of the Ochrobactrum MT180101 resisting heavy metal toxicity.

DBPs investigated included trihalomethanes (THM), chloral hydrate (CH), haloketones (HK), haloacetonitriles (HAN) and trichloronitromethane (TCNM), chlorite and chlorate. Chlorite and chlorate were found in the ClO2-treated waters.

The correlations of PPCP levels and water quality parameters were also investigated. The analytes of the highest concentrations were caffeine, acetaminophen, and ciprofloxacin.
