Sonocatalytic degradation of acid red B (ARB) dye was investigated using Fe doped zeolite Y catalysts with the assistance of low frequency (20 kHz) ultrasonic irradiation. Low concentration of Fe ions from different precursors was loaded onto the zeolite using wet impregnation method. Catalytic degradation of ARB dye was found to be accelerated by the reaction between Fe (II) and Fe (III) ions and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated in situ by the ultrasound-mediated dissociation of water molecules. Fe (II)/Y exhibited higher degradation efficiency at the beginning of the reaction but achieved almost similar degradation at the end of the process. The increase of pH significantly decreased the degradation efficiency of ARB dye and strongly affected the leaching and catalyst stability. The highest efficiency was achieved at an initial pH of 3 with nearly 100% degradation in less than 60 min. Both catalysts showed no significant changes in terms of their mean particle sizes before and after reaction. Finally, Fe (III)/Y showed better performance evaluated based on leaching of Fe and also catalyst reusability. Only minor physical changes occurred during the degradation process for four consecutive runs of reaction.

An effective strategy for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) entails the early detection of antibiotics during the initial stages of water treatment facilities. In this context, cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs) were employed for the precise detection of tetracycline (TET), an emerging contaminant, in water. CdS QDs with fluorescence properties were synthesized by culturing Citrobacter freundii bacteria.

The sterilization effect of photocatalysis and biotoxicity of nanomaterial catalysts have attracted high attention. In this study, the novel visible-driven defective carbon nitride (VL/DCN) system exhibits non-photoreactivation, non-toxic superior performance compared with traditional ultraviolet radiation (UV) and UV/titanium dioxide (UV/TiO). The inactivation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) by novel VL/DCN still reached 7 log within 4 h, and the reduction rates of aminoglycoside gene strB and tetracycline gene tetA exceeded 0.

In this study, a halotolerant yeast that is capable of efficiently decolorizing and detoxifying azo dyes was isolated, identified and characterized for coping with the treatment of azo-dye-containing wastewaters. A characterization of the yeast, including the optimization of its metabolism and growth conditions, its detoxification effectiveness and the degradation pathway of the target azo dye, as well as a determination of the key activities of the enzyme, was performed. Finally, the possible halotolerance mechanisms of the yeast were proposed through a comparative transcriptome analysis.

Azo dyes wastewater contains refractory pollutant and nitrogen, which threatens human health and ecological environment when discharged into environment directly. Electron shuttle (ES) is able to participate in the extracellular electron transfer, and thus enhances the removal efficiency of refractory pollutant. However, the continuous dosing of soluble ES would rise operation cost and cause contamination inevitably.

Background: Autosomal Recessive Bestrophinopathy (ARB) is an inherited retinal disease caused by biallelic mutations in the gene. Herein, we report the multimodal imaging findings of ARB presenting with cystoid maculopathy and investigate the short-term response to combined systemic and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs).
Material And Methods: An observational, prospective, case series on two siblings affected by ARB is presented.
