Atmospheric oxidative degradation of p-chloroaniline (PCA) initiated by OH has been studied theoretically at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ and CBS-QB3//M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ levels, coupled with kinetic calculations using the RRKM/ZCT method over the temperature range of 250-350 K. The calculations exhibit that the OH addition and hydrogen atom abstraction pathways are thermodynamically favorable. RRKM results revealed that the atmospheric oxidation of PCA is dominated by OH addition to the C1 and C2 atoms and hydrogen atom abstraction from amino group. The individual and overall rate coefficients of PCA reaction triggered by OH at 1 bar are negatively linear dependent on the temperature and their values are consistent with the experimental data. RRKM calculations also show that the transition state theory approximation for estimation of rate coefficients at ambient pressure breaks down and very high pressures are essential to be valid. The atmospheric life-time at the benchmark CBS-QB3 level is smaller than 2 days.

Article Synopsis
- A new aerogel called nZVI@UiO-66-NH/TCNF was developed for effectively degrading p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) through an innovative combination of nZVI, UiO-66-NH, and bio-based cellulose nanofibers (TCNF).
- The aerogel demonstrated over 85% degradation efficiency within 3 hours and achieved nearly total removal (99.83%) of p-CNB after 24 hours, showing superior performance compared to other aerogels.
- Key factors contributing to this success include improved mass transfer due to TCNF's porous structure and enhanced interaction between p-CNB and UiO-66-NH, which facilitate electron transfer

The degradation of multiple organic pollutants in wastewater via advanced oxidation processes might involve different radicals, of which the types and concentrations vary upon interacting with different pollutants. In this study, electrochemical activation of peroxymonosulfate (E/PMS) using advanced activated carbon cloth (ACC) as electrode was applied for simultaneous degradation of mixed pollutants, e.g.

This research describes an easy, rapid, and inexpensive magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) approach employing FeO magnetic nanoparticles modified with cetylpyridinium chloride (FeO@CPC/MNPs) for extracting amoxicillin (AMX) and doxycycline (DOX) after derivatization with 4-chloroaniline as a color reagent. The azo-coupling of AMX and DOX with the color reagent in the alkaline medium caused yellow and yellow-orange azo dyes with maximum absorption wavelengths of 435 and 438 nm, respectively. The UV-Vis spectroscopy was utilized to determine the target analyte after the extraction procedure.
