Under simulated solar irradiation, the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) was studied in the presence of Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (SRFA). The results demonstrate that the photodegradation of BPA followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics and the photodegradation rate increased rapidly with increasing initial concentration of SRFA. Hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen were found in the SRFA solutions of BPA with molecular probes and the technique of electronic spin resonance. The electronic energy transfer of triplet state fulvic acid was also studied with various aerated conditions. The results showed that the photodegradation of BPA was related with triplet state fulvic acid. The photodegradation products of BPA in the presence of SRFA were identified with GC/MS methods. The photodegradation pathways of BPA were also discussed.

Arsenic (As) pollution in coastal wetlands has been receiving growing attention. However, the exact mechanism of As mobility driven by tidal action is still not completely understood. The results reveal that lower total As concentrations in solution were observed in the flood-ebb treatment (FE), with the highest concentration being 7.

SERS Detection of Hydrophobic Molecules: Thio-β-Cyclodextrin-Driven Rapid Self-Assembly of Uniform Silver Nanoparticle Monolayers and Analyte Trapping.

High-sensitivity and repeatable detection of hydrophobic molecules through the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is a tough challenge because of their weak adsorption and non-uniform distribution on SERS substrates. In this research, we present a simple self-assembly protocol for monolayer SERS mediated by 6-deoxy-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH). This protocol allows for the rapid assembly of a compact silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) monolayer at the oil/water interface within 40 s, while entrapping analyte molecules within hotspots.

The complex pollution and nutrient-poor characteristics of surface waters result in the limited ability of conventional reactors to remove pollutants. In this study, a novel modified ceramsite material, modified with trivalent iron (Fe(III)) and fulvic acid (FA) to form ceramsite@Fe(III)@FA (HC), was used for the first time as a biocarrier to immobilize strain Cupriavidus sp. W12, constructing a biofilter to enhance nitrate (NO-N) removal in micro-polluted water.
