Impregnated copper on magnetite is a versatile, inexpensive and simple catalyst for the selective multicomponent reaction of terminal alkynes, aldehydes and secondary amines to give the corresponding propargylamines with excellent yields. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused by using a simple magnet. The process could be repeated up to ten times without losing its activity.

Improper management of wood impregnation chemicals and treated wood has led to soil contamination at many wood treatment sites, particularly with toxic substances like creosote oil and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The simultaneous presence of these pollutants complicates the choice of soil remediation technologies, especially if they are to be applied in situ. In this laboratory study, we attempted to immobilise arsenic (As) and simultaneously degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (constituents of creosote oil) by applying a modified electrochemical oxidation method.

A three-dimensional (3D) electrode system is widely recognized as an effective technology for enhancing electrocatalytic effect. In this study, Cu-Ce modified granular activated carbon (GAC) particle electrodes were prepared using the impregnation method and applied to handle multiphase extraction wastewater. Structural and electrochemical characterization revealed that while the specific surface area of Cu-Ce/GAC decreased by 13.

Introduction: IUDs are effective, reversible and safe methods of contraception. The mechanism of action of IUDs as a group is inducing endometrial atrophy, apoptosis, altering tubal motility; preventing sperm permeability, fertilization, and implantation. Complications of IUD include menstrual disturbance, pelvic pain, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy with contraceptive failure, device expulsion, uterine perforation or transmural migration with misplacement of the device.

Soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses a significant threat to crop quality and human health, making it a global concern. However, the distribution patterns of PTEs across different land-use types are not well understood. To investigate the relationship between the reduction and retention effects of various ecosystem types on soil PTEs, we analyzed five categories of target elements in 299 soil samples from the southeastern Yunnan Province.

Objective: () is one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Elimination of spores is difficult as they are resistant to common hospital-grade disinfectants. Copper-impregnated surfaces provide continuous reduction of multiple pathogens, potentially lowering the risk of infections.
