A range of inorganic and organoelement halides was evaluated as acidic promoters of direct N(in) -formylation of tryptophan. In addition to Me3 SiBr, the less expensive PBr3 was found to be highly efficient and was selected for further optimization. A convenient and reproducible synthetic procedure for N(in) -formyltryptophan hydrobromide developed in this way was scaled to 150 mmol and successfully extended to some derivatives of Trp and closely related indoles as detailed in the present paper. The scope of the method seems to be restricted to indoles substituted at C-3.

Graphene-based materials can be potentially utilized for separation membranes due to their unique structural properties such as precise molecular sieving by interlayer spacing or pore structure and excellent stability in harsh environmental conditions. Therefore, graphene-based membranes have been extensively demonstrated for various water treatment applications, including desalination, water extraction, and rare metal ion recovery. While most of the utilization has still been limited to the laboratory scale, emerging studies have dealt with scalable approaches to show commercial feasibility.

Microbe-mediated remediation becomes a desire method for removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) due to its eco-friendly and sustainable nature. The improvement of practical feasibility requires constructing comprehensive species pool, while it is still limited by the rapid recognition of potential bacterial resources from environment. Here, based on the relative abundances of bacterial OTUs and pollutant concentrations, we established indexes to assess their tolerance to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and flame retardants (FRs) that are atmospheric transported and naturally accumulated in forest soil via forest filter effect.

Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) can remove a variety of organic and inorganic pollutants from contaminated groundwater. However, despite significant laboratory-scale successes over the past decade, field-scale applications remain limited. We hypothesize that enhancing the electrochemical conductivity of the soil surrounding electrodes could be a groundbreaking and cost-effective alternative to deploying numerous high-surface-area electrodes in short distances.

The operation effectiveness of groundwater remediation using groundwater circulation well (GCW) technology is influenced by various process parameters. Currently, there is no uniform standard for the design of structure parameters and hydrodynamic control parameters of GCW to optimize the operation performance. This study discusses the influence of well structure, including screen position and screen length, as well as hydrodynamic control parameters, including flow rate and circulation method, on the operation effectiveness of GCW with a two-dimensional laboratory-scale GCW system and physical experiments.

Laboratory leaching tests are tools to assess the mobility of environmental contaminants released from granular materials. Comparative leaching tests were performed using four PFAS-contaminated soils whose concentration patterns of 10 selected perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) differed due to the two types of contamination sources. This study aimed to evaluate the equivalence of two usual laboratory-scale leaching test procedures, batch and column percolation tests, at liquid-to-solid ratios (L/S) of 2 l/kg, which is the current practice within the German assessment framework, and 10 l/kg (relevant for some EU regulations such as the landfill directive).
