The high concentration of salt in organic wastewater has a strong inhibitory effect on the removal of pollutants. A method for the efficient removal of trace pollutants in high-salinity organic wastewater was developed. This study investigated the effect of the combination of permanganate [Mn(VII)] and calcium sulfite [S(IV)] on pollutant removal in hypersaline wastewater. The Mn(VII)-CaSO system removed more pollutants from high-salinity organic wastewater than from normal-salinity wastewater. Chloride (increasing from 1 M to 5 M) and low concentration of sulfate (increasing from 0.05 M to 0.5 M) significantly enhanced the system's resistance to pollutants under neutral conditions. Despite the fact that Cl can combine with the free radicals in the system and reduce their efficiency in removing pollutants, the presence of chloride ions greatly enhances the electron transfer rate in the system, promoting the conversion of Mn(VII) to Mn(III) and significantly increasing the reaction rate of Mn(III) as the primary active species. Therefore, chloride salts can greatly enhance the removal of organic pollutants by Mn(VII)-CaSO. Although sulfate does not react with free radicals, a high concentration of sulfate (1 M) will affect the formation of Mn(III), which greatly weakens the removal effect of the entire system on pollutants. The system can still have a good pollutant removal effect with mixed salt. Altogether, this study demonstrates that the Mn(VII)-CaSO system offers new possibilities for the treatment of organic pollutants in hypersaline wastewater.

As one of the main fragments in medical drugs, spirooxindole has received considerable attention from organic and medicinal chemists. In the past few decades, chemists have been searching for more straightforward and efficient methods to produce compounds containing a spirooxindole fragment. In this regard, isatin-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates have been widely used as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of spirooxindole structures.

Herein, we adopt a feasible method to synthesize the CuO/FeO composite with heterostructure. Owing to the significant differences in work functions, an internal electric field is built at the interface of heterojunction after the combination of CuO with FeO, which can reduce interface resistance and accelerate charge transfer. Interestingly, under the induction of electrostatic interaction provided by internal electric field, the CuO/FeO composite will form electron-rich and electron-deficient active zones.

The efficacy of the nanocomposite of manganese dioxide and diosgenin-incorporated chitosan (MnO/Dio@CS) was assessed by studying the photodegradation of two organic dyes, Acid Green (AG) and Malachite Green Oxalate (MGO), under visible light irradiation. The synthesized MnO/Dio@CS nanocomposites were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy. The MnO/Dio@CS nanocomposites exhibited exceptional photocatalytic efficacy, prolonged durability, and quick degradation of the dye solution to 87.

Electrochemical oxidation stands as a pivotal technology for refractory wastewater treatment. However, the high cost and low elemental abundance of commercial electrodes limit its widespread application. This work tries to address this by introducing a charge-transfer rerouting strategy via cocatalyst modification using earth-abundant elements.
