Soil contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially caused by the mixture of two or more PAHs, raised great environmental concerns. However, research on the migration and transformation processes of PAHs in soils and their interactions with native communities is limited. In this work, soil samples from uncontaminated sites around the industrial parks in Handan, Hengshui, and Shanghai were artificially supplemented with three concentrations of anthracene (Ant), 9-chloroanthracene (9-ClAnt), benzopyrene (BaP), and chrysene (Chr).

This study aimed to investigate the ability of infrared light to activate PM. When coupled with infrared, the degradation rate of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) is increased to 3.

- TiO nanospheres synthesized via the sol-gel method effectively catalyze the breakdown of 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide ([BMMIm]Br) under simulated solar light, primarily through the action of hydroxyl radicals (•OH).
- The introduction of various alkali and alkaline earth metal ions boosts •OH formation, resulting in a 7%-30.3% increase in degradation efficiency, with over 96% removal of [BMMIm] from real water sources.
- The study identifies four main degradation reactions, evaluates the toxicity changes during the process, and highlights the potential for these findings to improve the environmental cleanup of ionic liquids.
