Removal efficiencies for 52 pesticides and pharmaceuticals from wastewater effluent by coupling solar heterogeneous photo-oxidation with TiO and infiltration in saturated soil column.

Water resource management has become a hot button issue in recent decades. Countries facing water shortages as a result to climate change must adapt their water supply. The reuse of wastewater treatment plant effluents is becoming increasingly common around the world.

Acid-sensitive photoswitches: towards catalytic on-demand release of stored light energy.

Photochromic compounds are promising for a variety of applications, including molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. The energy release step and cyclability are critical issues to be addressed for the development of this technology. We report herein the synthesis and characterization of two diarylethene molecules featuring one (1) or two (2) pyridine groups as protonatable moieties.

Adsorptive-Photocatalytic Composites of α-Ferrous Oxalate Supported on Activated Carbon for the Removal of Phenol under Visible Irradiation.

Adsorptive-photocatalytic composites based on activated carbon (AC) and α-ferrous oxalate dihydrate (α-FOD) were synthesized by an original two-step method and subsequently used for the removal of phenol from aqueous solutions. To obtain the composites, ferrotitaniferous black mineral sands (0.6FeTiO·0.

Sweet ending: When genetics prevent a dramatic CDG diagnostic mistake.

Herein, we described the case of a newborn male, from consanguineous parents, who developed, at day 11 of life, an obstructive hydrocephalus resulting from bilateral cerebellar hemorrhage without evident cause. Then, at 1 month, he developed a fulminant hepatitis with hyperammonia, hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis. Infectious and first line metabolic explorations were normal.
