Waste Fe (III)/Cr (III) hydroxide was investigated for the removal of anionic dyes, namely acid brilliant blue (acidic dye) and procion red (reactive azo dye) from aqueous solution. In batch experiments, parameters studied include contact time, adsorbate concentration, pH, adsorbent dose and temperature. Adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm with adsorption capacity of 10.37 and 3.28 mg/g for acid brilliant blue and procion red, respectively. Adsorption kinetic studies showed second order with respect to acid brilliant blue and first order with respect to procion red. Thermodynamic parameters such as free energy, enthalpy and entropy of adsorption were also evaluated.

With the growing threat of organic pollutants in water bodies, there is an urgent need for sustainable and efficient water decontamination methods. This research focused on synthesizing a novel Z-scheme ternary heterostructure composed of graphene oxide (GO)-mediated polyaniline (PANI) with α-FeO and investigated its potential in brilliant green (BrG) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation tests under visible light. The ternary composite demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic activity, with the optimized 10%PANI/GO/α-FeO (10PGF) photocatalyst achieving 99.

Biological acidification, efficient and low-cost biotechnology, is crucial in treating pharmaceutical, pesticide water, and petrochemical wastewater. Nitrobenzene is a typical organic pollutant in petrochemical wastewater with high toxicity and long persistence. However, its effect on hydrolysis acidification is yet to be fully elucidated.

In this work, Terminalia chebula leaf extract was used to synthesize CuO-CoO nanoparticles, which were then embedded in a rice straw biochar. This new biochar-based nano-catalyst is used to photocatalytically degrade a variety of dyes (Eosin Y, Trypan Blue, Crystal Violet, Methylene Blue, Brilliant Green), as well as a binary mixture of Eosin Y and Trypan Blue dyes. It is also used for the catalytic reduction of nitro compounds (4-NP, 3-NP, and Picric acid).

The natural flavonoid Quercetin (QT) showed a potential for various health benefits, but its pharmaceutical applications are hindered by low solubility, permeability, and limited bioavailability. This research aimed to synthesize, develop and optimize polylactic acid co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanobubbles using solvent evaporation method as a sustained delivery system for QT, thus improving stability and bioavailability. Through a four-factor, three-level Box Behnken Design, 29 experimental runs were carried out to optimize QT-PLGA nanobubbles.
