AI Article Synopsis

  • A new catalyst made from biomass carbon is developed, which is tailored to effectively target and degrade phthalates in water, showing improved oxygen reduction and hydroxyl radical production.
  • The modified catalyst (MIP@BC) has 40% better adsorption for Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), allowing for a much faster breakdown of the compound compared to a non-modified version.
  • In real water samples, the degradation of DMP significantly increased, highlighting the potential of this technique for addressing harmful contaminants in polluted water sources.

Article Abstract

A novel molecularly imprinted biomass carbon (MIP@BC) catalyst functionalized with the virtual template of phthalates was designed as the cathode material which possesses excellent 2-electron oxygen reduction ability and HO production capacity, which is suitable for targeted degradation of phthalates in the electro-Fenton system. Following molecularly imprinted modification, the adsorption capacity of MIP@BC for Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) increased by 40 %, reached 9.26 mg/g. Compared with non-imprinted biomass carbon (NIP@BC), the MIP@BC-mediated electro-Fenton process enhanced the degradation rate of DMP by 72 %. Additionally, the degradation rate of DMP rises by 51 % and 104 % respectively on the basis of river water and domestic sewage. The reactive oxygen species that induced DMP degradation were OH and O and targeted adsorption and catalysis exert a synergistic effect. This study provides a new insight into targeted degradation for high-toxicity of emerging contaminants from complex aqueous environment.

In the present study, a novel voltammetric sensor based on a boron-doped copper oxide/graphene (B-CuO-Gr) nanocomposite and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed for the detection of paclobutrazol (PAC) in apple and orange juice samples. The B-CuO-Gr nanocomposite was prepared using sol-gel and calcination methods. After modifying glassy carbon electrodes with the B-CuO-Gr nanocomposite, PAC-imprinted electrodes were prepared in the presence of 100.

Dimethoate (DIM) is one of the most extensively applied organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), which is used to boost farm productivity due to its high insecticidal efficacy. However, the excessive use of DIM can result in the extensive contamination of soil, groundwater and food. Monitoring of DIM in environmental and food samples is crucial in view of its potential health risks and environmental hazards from excessive residues.

In this paper, a novel molecularly imprinted polymer membrane modified glassy carbon electrode for electrochemical sensors (MIP-OH-MWCNTs-GCE) for epinephrine (EP) was successfully prepared by a gel-sol method using an optimized functional monomer oligosilsesquioxane-AlO sol-ITO composite sol (ITO-POSS-AlO). Hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs) were introduced during the modification of the electrodes, and the electrochemical behavior of EP on the molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors was probed by the differential pulse velocity (DPV) method. The experimental conditions were optimized.
