In this study, HO (0.1 ‰) and NH-MIL-101(Fe)-driven (150 mg/L) photo-Fenton-coupled anammox were proposed to simultaneously improve the removal efficiency of nitrogen and humic acid. Long-term experiments showed that the total nitrogen removal efficiency was increased by the photo-Fenton reaction to 91.9 ± 1.5 % by altering the bioavailability of refractory organics. Correspondingly, the total organic carbon removal efficiency was significantly increased. Microbial community analyses indicated that Candidatus_Brocadia maintained high activity during photo-Fenton reaction and was the most abundant genus in the reactor. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium process and denitrification process were enhanced, resulting in reduced NO-N production. The establishment of electron transfer between microorganisms and NH-MIL-101 (Fe) improved the charge separation efficiency of the quantum dots and increased the intracellular adenosine triphosphate content of anammox bacteria. These results indicated that photo-Fenton-anammox process promoted the removal of nitrogen and refractory organics in one reactor which had good economic value and application prospects.

Facile Preparation of Sulfonated Polysulfone Composite Membranes with High Hydrophilicity and Visible-Light Driving Self-Cleaning Performance.

The photo-Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and thus is applied intensively for clearing out membrane fouling. However, the pollutant removal efficiency is greatly limited by the redox cycle rate of Fe/Fe and the rapid recombination rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a sulfonated polysulfone composite membrane was designed and prepared by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles into a sulfonated polysulfone membrane and sequentially forming β-FeOOHs on the membrane surface.

Oxygen vacancy-rich defective tungsten oxide (WO) modified by Prussian blue for efficient photocatalytic carbon dioxide conversion and tetracycline degradation.

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO) with epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates is a desirable decarbonization approach, but its commercial applicability is still restricted by the costly catalysts required, as well as the need for high temperature and high pressure. Herein, oxygen vacancy-rich defective tungsten oxide (WO) rich in Lewis acid sites was modified by Prussian blue (PB), and the obtained composite reaches up to 94 % styrene carbonate yield (171 mmol gh) at ambient temperature and pressure, exhibiting outstanding advantages in the photocatalytic CO cycloaddition reaction compared with currently reported photocatalysts. It is found that the introduction of PB with photothermal properties significantly enhances the capability of WO to absorb and activate CO and epoxide, along with its light utilization ability.

Magnetic composites (MC) prepared from magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) and activated carbon from bovine bone (AC) in different proportions (75/25, 50/50, and 25/75) were used as catalysts in the photo-Fenton process to degrade methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The materials were prepared by the citrate-nitrate sol-gel synthesis method and used as catalysts in the photo-Fenton process. The photocatalytic tests were performed in a cylindrical reactor with a 4.

Mass-fraction-optimized heterojunction composites featuring precisely engineered interfaces and mesoporous structures are crucial for improving light absorption, minimizing electron-hole recombination, and boosting overall catalytic efficiency. Herein, highly efficient mesoporous-NiFe2O4@g-C3N4 heterojunctions were developed by embedding p-type NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) within n-type porous ultrathin g-C3N4 (p-uCN) nanosheets. The optimized NiFe2O4@g-C3N4, loaded with 20wt% magnetic counterparts, exhibits exceptional photocatalytic methylene blue degradation, achieving the highest performance in both photocatalytic and photo-Fenton processes with rate constants of 0.
