The effects of ozone dose, bicarbonate concentration and pH on endocrine disruptors(EDs) removal, such as E1, E2, EE2, DES and 4-n-NP, were investigated through batch experiment. The results indicated that the removal rates were enhanced by increasing ozone dose, and O3 exposures of only 63.6 microg/L were calculated to achieve > or = 92.0% EDs removal efficiency. The presence of bicarbonate (0 - 100 mg/L) inhibited EDs ozonation. Furthermore, the EDs removal rates increased significantly as pH increased. The five apparent rate constants (20 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C) of ozone with the five EDs were in the range of (1.67 - 3.89) x 10(6)L (mol s) (-1) at neutral pH (pH approximately 7.0) and (0.93 approximately 1.75) x 10(9) L (mol s)(-1) at basic pH (pH > 10.6). It was indicated that the five EDs were removed rapidly by O3 in water. At the same time, the elementary reaction ozone rate constants (20 degrees C +/- 0.5 degrees C) were calculated, and the reactivity of ozone with ionized EDs [i.e. 1.21 x 10(9) - 3.81 x 10(9) L (mol s)(-1)] was 10(3) - 10(4) times higher than with neutral EDs [i.e. 7.62 x 10(5) - 2.55 x 10(6) L (mol s)(-1)]. The comparative test of EDs ozonation under different water quality conditions indicated that the removal rates of EDs in filtrated water and river water were reduced 26.5% - 50.3% and 57.3% - 72.0% respectively compared with the case using ultrapurified water as the background. It showed that organics in real water would compete with EDs for ozonation.

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants found worldwide, not only in environmental matrices but also in the food web. The present study aimed to establish better removal rates of MPs in cultivated or harvested edible bivalves currently on the market. Samples of three species (mussels, oysters and wedge clams) were collected from a producer at three different depuration times.

Ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) discharge has caused eutrophication of water bodies and harm to humans and organisms. In this work, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), diatomite (DE), and FeO were used to prepare magnetic immobilized carriers by encapsulating microorganisms for the treatment of NH-N wastewater. The response surface methodology was used to explore the optimal ratio of the immobilized carriers.

In clinical optical molecular imaging, the need for real-time high frame rates and low excitation doses to ensure patient safety inherently increases susceptibility to detection noise. Faced with the challenge of image degradation caused by severe noise, image denoising is essential for mitigating the trade-off between acquisition cost and image quality. However, prevailing deep learning methods exhibit uncontrollable and suboptimal performance with limited interpretability, primarily due to neglecting underlying physical model and frequency information.

Nanoconfinement at the interface of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts offers promising avenues for advancing oxidation processes in water purification. Herein, we introduce a template-free strategy for synthesizing nanoconfined catalysts from municipal sludge (S-NCCs), specifically engineered to optimize reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and utilization for rapid pollutant degradation. Using selective hydrofluoric acid corrosion, we create an architecture that confines atomically dispersed Fe centers within a micro-mesoporous carbon matrix in situ.
