In this study, Fenton-like catalysts (magnetic biochar) were synthesised by pyrolysis the different biomass pre-impregnated with steel pickling waste liquor. The results of degradation of metronidazole illustrated that the catalytic performance of magnetic biochar was significantly affected by biomass feedstocks. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and radical quenching experiments showed that the hydroxide radicals (OH) were the key reactive oxygen species responsible for the metronidazole removal. Levels of OH varied among different systems consistent with the removal of metronidazole. The activation of HO by carbon-containing components and Fe species (FeO and FeO) in magnetic biochar were confirmed to be less crucial to the degradation of metronidazole. Moreover, the Fe(II) (FeO) in magnetic biochar played the dominating role in degradation of metronidazole, and the Fe(II) content difference caused by biomass feedstocks was responsible for differences in the catalytic performance of different types of magnetic biochar.

A novel biochar material with magnetic modification by MnFeO and surficial hydroxyl grafting (h-MFO-BC) was synthesized for capturing HMs (Cd, Pb and Cu) and their competition in composite systems was investigated. The modification of hydroxyl considerably improved the adsorption capacity of HMs. Chemisorption and monolayer and homogeneous reaction dominated adsorption processes.

In Slovakia, there are a number of contaminated sites that have occurred due to intensive mining, mineral processing, metallurgical activities, chemical industry, fossil fuel combustion, and industrial agriculture in the past. This paper summarizes the occurrence, chemistry, toxicity, and mineralogy of arsenic species related to soil and water contamination in Slovakia. Four main localities with arsenic exposure were identified.

Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a widely used synthetic phenolic antioxidant found in edible oils and other fried foods. Nevertheless, the excess use of TBHQ can reduce food quality and impact public health. In this paper, we reported the synthesis of a nanocomposite consisting of carbon and nitrogen co-doped nickel oxide (NiO-N/C-700), which was used to modify a pencil graphite electrode for the sensitive detection of TBHQ.

The development of a method to efficiently remove high concentrations of penicillin G sodium (PGNa) from the environment is important for human and animal health and safety. In this study, the degradative enzymes were immobilized by adsorption using biochar from penicillin fermentation waste residue, which could efficiently remove PGNa (900 mg/L) from an aqueous solution, with a removal rate of 99.84 % within 20 min.
