Synthesis and characterization of strippable polymeric-gel solution based on a water-soluble polymer (PVA), plasticizing agent (glycerol), and chelating agent (8-Hydroxyquinoline) for the surface decontamination from Cs and Co was carried out. Decontamination of glass and PVC surfaces was investigated in the present study, as a function of various chelating agents, gel-layer thickness, and radioactivity level. The decontamination efficiency was up to 95% for both radionuclides after 24 h of contact time with the contaminated surface. The obtained results suggest that the decontamination process of Cs and Co by polymer gel is possible combined by two mechanisms: chemically and physically.

Developing superwetting coatings with environmental adaptability is critical for sustainable industrial applications. However, traditional anti-wetting coatings often fall short due to their susceptibility to environmental factors (UV light, temperature, mold growth, and abrasion) and inadequate stain resistance in complex media. Herein, a durable ex situ pH-responsive coating with reversible wettability switching, engineered by integrating hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane and tertiary amine structures is presented.

Organic pollutants removal via a polymerization transfer (PT) pathway based on the use of single-atom catalysts (SACs) promises efficient water purification with minimal energy/chemical inputs. However, the precise engineering of such catalytic systems toward PT decontamination is still challenging, and the conventional SACs are plagued by low structural stability of carbon material support. Here, we adopted magnesium oxide (MgO) as a structurally stable alternative for loading single copper (Cu) atoms to drive peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton-like reactions.

Aseptic filling of biopharmaceutical products requires a grade A cleanroom environment, preferably ensured by isolators in grade C surroundings. Isolators are decontaminated before the start of filling processes using vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) and filling starts at pre-defined residual VHP levels (e.g.

Carbon nanotubes-driven persulfates oxidation processes (CNTs/PS) have been extensively studied for environmental remediation. Solution pH is one of the main factors affecting wastewater treatment, but it is often overlooked. Herein, we report the effect laws of pH on the mechanism of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation by CNTs.

Malachite green is a hazardous chemical that poses serious threats to aquatic ecosystems due to its toxicity and persistence in the environment. Additionally, it is harmful to human health, recognized as a carcinogenic and mutagenic agent that can cause long-term adverse effects. Hence, in this study, malachite green dye was efficiently removed from aqueous media using CoO/MgO/MgBO novel nanocomposites, known as CBM600 and CBM800.
