Degradation of tetracycline by FeNi-LDH/TiC photo-Fenton system in water: From performance to mechanism.

Recently, photo-Fenton technology has been widely used to degrade tetracycline (TC) because of its great efficiency and wide application range. Herein, Fe-Ni layered double hydroxides (FeNi-LDH)/TiC photo-Fenton system was constructed in this study. The results showed the introduction of TiC solved some problems of FeNi-LDH such as poor conductivity, easy aggregation, and high recombination rate of photoelectron.

Enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity of bismuth oxide via the decoration of titanium carbide quantum dots.

In TiC quantum dots (TiC QDs)/BiO photocatalysts system, TiC QDs can act as a co-catalyst to greatly boost the photocatalytic performance of BiO. TiC QDs with excellent light adsorption ability can improve the light response of the system, and the fascinating electronic property can function as a channel for electron transfer. Moreover, TiC QDs possess larger specific area and more active edge atoms thanks to the size effect.

Enhancing iron redox cycling for promoting heterogeneous Fenton performance: A review.

Conventional water treatment methods are difficult to remove stubborn pollutants emerging from surface water. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can achieve a higher level of mineralization of stubborn pollutants. In recent years, the Fenton process for the degradation of pollutants as one of the most efficient ways has received more and more attention.

Isolation of an Acremonium sp. from a screening of 52 seawater fungal isolates and preliminary characterization of its growth conditions and nematicidal activity.

Fifty-two fungal isolates obtained from seawater were screened for anti-nematode activity. One isolate, an Acremonium sp., exhibited the highest activity against the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.
