Bioremediation of Crude Glycerol by a Sustainable Organic-Microbe Hybrid System.

with crude glycerol-utilizing and hydrogen (H)-producing abilities was successfully isolated from return activated sludge from Shatin Sewage Treatment Works. The H production strategy used in this study was optimized with crude glycerol concentrations, and 1,020 μmol of H was generated in 3 h. An organic-microbe hybrid system was constructed with metal-free hydrothermal carbonation carbon (HTCC) microspheres to enhance the H production under visible light (VL) irradiation.

Highly efficient adhesion and inactivation of Escherichia coli on visible-light-driven amino-functionalized BiOBr hybrids.

Amino groups are successfully introduced on the surface of BiOBr nanosheets through a facile ammonia functionalization method. The surface morphology of the modified BiOBr hybrids varies on the concentration of applied ammonia solution. The active {001}-facet-exposed feature of nanosheets is well retained after amino-functionalization.
