Cu/TiO adsorbents with CuO as the active component were prepared via a simple impregnation method for efficient purification of phosphine (PH) under the conditions of low temperatures (90 °C) and low oxygen concentration (1%). The PH breakthrough capacity of optimal adsorbent (Cu/TiO) is 136.2 mg(PH)·g, and the excellent dephosphorization performance is mainly attributed to its abundant sur face-active oxygen and alkaline sites, large specific surface area, and strong interaction between CuO and the support TiO. Surprisingly, CuO is converted to CuP after the dephosphorization by Cu/TiO. Since CuP is a P-type semiconductor with high added value, the deactivated adsorbent (CuP/TiO) is an efficient heterostructure photocatalyst for photocatalytic removal of Hg (gas) with the Hg removal performance of 92.64% under visible light. This study provides a feasible strategy for the efficient removal and resource conversion of PH under low-temperature conditions and the alleviation of the environmental risk of secondary pollution.

Understanding the interfacial interaction mechanisms between oil and minerals is of vital importance in the applications of petroleum production and environmental protection. In this work, the interactions of dodecane with mica and calcite in aqueous media were investigated by using the drop probe technique based on atomic force microscopy. For the dodecane-mica interactions, the electrical double layer (EDL) repulsion dominated in 10 mM NaCl solution, and a higher pH facilitated the detachment of dodecane.

The purification efficiency of autoexhaust carbon strongly depends on the heterogeneous interface structure between active metal and oxide, which can modulate the local electronic structure of defect sites to promote the activation of reactant molecules. Herein, the high-dispersion CuO clusters supported on the well-defined CeO nanorods were prepared using the complex deposition slow method. The formation of heteroatomic Cu-O-Ce interfacial structural units as active sites can capture electrons to achieve activation of the NO and O molecules.

Exogenous nitrogen supplementation for the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils is a widely adopted and effective environmentally friendly strategy. However, the mechanism by which varying nitrogen dosages affect hydrocarbon degradation pathways remains unclear. This study conducted bioremediation on soil with a total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content of 17,090 mg/kg over 210 days.

This study addresses the challenge of reducing "net" toxic pollutant discharge, specifically dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), while minimizing the energy consumption and costs associated with detoxification. Our research focuses on reintroducing fly ash and scrubber sludge (ASR) into a hazardous waste thermal treatment system equipped with gasification-intense low oxygen dilution (GASMILD) and an advanced air pollution control system (APCS). This approach yielded a remarkable PCDD/F removal efficiency exceeding 99.
