Azo dyes constitute 60-70% of commercially used dyes and are complex, carcinogenic, and mutagenic pollutants that negatively impact soil composition, water bodies, flora, and fauna. Conventional azo dye degradation techniques have drawbacks such as high production and maintenance costs, use of hazardous chemicals, membrane clogging, and sludge generation. Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cells (CW-MFCs) offer a promising sustainable approach for the bio-electrodegradation of azo dyes from textile wastewater.

Recently, thallium (Tl) contamination at trace levels has gained worldwide attention, particularly in the remote ore-smelting regions of China. To effectively eliminate the residual target Tl(I) ions, one of the best strategies is to develop novel adsorbents with high selectivity. In this study, we selected silicate mineral waste (SMW) and chitosan (CTS) to synthesize a low-cost composite adsorbent for the removal of trace Tl(I).

Due to the high toxicity and increasing consumption, efficient removal of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides (PAAHs) from water is imperative. In current study, a new adsorbent was prepared by modifying porous carbon derived from disused floral foam with chitosan (CS) (ACFC). Density functional theory (DFT) calculation uncovered that the amino and hydroxyl groups in the introduced CS played a critical role in the efficient adsorption of ACFC towards PAAHs.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have drawn great interest in electrochemical sensing. However, most are integrated as enrichment units or reaction carriers and are co-modified with metal nanomaterials. Few studies use the single pristine COFs as an electrochemical signal amplifier.

Non-invasive estimation of pressure differences using 2D synthetic aperture ultrasound imaging offers a precise, low-cost, and risk-free diagnostic tool. Unlike invasive techniques, this preserves natural blood flow and avoids the limitations of devices that occupy lumen space. This paper evaluates a previously published estimator, modified to incorporate Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) echo-cancellation, using data from ten healthy volunteers and one patient.
