Fe(II) activated sodium persulfate (PS) technology was used for advanced treatment of effluent from industrial park wastewater treatment plant. Separate and combined effects of PS/COD, Fe(II)/PS and pH on COD and TOC removal were analyzed by the response surface methodology. Variations of organic substances before and after Fe(II)-PS oxidation were characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry, gel chromatography and three-dimensional fluorescence. PS/COD and Fe(II)/PS had significant effect on COD removal, while all the three factors had significant effect on TOC removal. The combined effect of PS/COD and pH had significant effect on COD removal. COD and TOC removal efficiencies reached 50.7% and 60.6% under optimized conditions of PS/COD 3.47, Fe(II)/PS 3.32 and pH 6.5. Fe(II)-PS oxidation converted macromolecular organic substances to small ones, and reduced contents of protein-, humic- and fulvic-like substances.

A highly versatile Z-scheme heterostructure, HoSmSbO/YbDyBiNbO (HYO), was synthesized using an ultrasonic-assisted solvent thermal method. The HYO heterojunction, composed of dual ABO compounds, exhibits superior separation of photogenerated carriers due to its efficient Z-scheme mechanism. The synergistic properties of HoSmSbO and YbDyBiNbO, particularly the excellent visible light absorption, enable HYO to achieve exceptional photocatalytic performance in the degradation of fenitrothion (FNT).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) using a photocatalyst made from CoFeO@3D-TiO and graphene aerogel, achieving complete removal under specific conditions within 60 minutes while showing high reusability.
- Intermediate products from the degradation process were found to be non-toxic to E. coli, and total organic carbon (TOC) analysis showed 86% mineralization of CIP, indicating successful transformation of non-biological sewage to biodegradable effluent.
- The research emphasizes the effectiveness of photocatalysis over simple adsorption with a significantly faster reaction rate, showcasing the potential environmental benefits of using the synthesized photocatalyst under visible light.

With the rapid development of electroless nickel (Ni) plating industry, a large amount of Ni complex wastewater is inevitably produced, which is a serious threat to the ecological environment. Herein, a novel Mn-N codoped active carbon (Mn-N@AC) catalyst with high catalytic ozonation ability was synthesized by the impregnation precipitation method and was characterized by BET, XRD, Raman, SEM, FTIR, and TPR. Meanwhile, Mn-N@AC showed excellent catalytic ozonation ability, stability, and applicability.

Landfill leachate nanofiltration concentrates (LLNC) contain complex organic pollutants that are difficult to treat. This study developed a copper-doped attapulgite-chitosan composite catalyst (Cu@ATP-CTS) for efficient LLNC degradation in a Fenton-like system. The incorporation of attapulgite extended the effective pH range of Fenton reactions from 2 to 8, overcoming traditional limitations.

The photocatalytic efficiency of TiO has been opposed by the fast recombination speed of photogenerated carriers. Here, g-CN -modified sulfate-built-in TiO quantum dots (ST-QDs) were successfully created using a simple ultrasonication-thermal procedure. g-CN-enrapped ST QDs with a 10 nm size were revealed by the characterization results.
