Precipitation polymerization method was used to synthesize chitosan based poly[chitosan-N-isopropylmethacrylamide-acrylic acid] [P(CS-NI-AA)] microgel particles. Synthesized P(CS-NI-AA) microgel particles were utilized as micro-reactors for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) inside the structure of microgels through chemical reduction of Ag ions using NaBH as reducing agent. P(CS-NI-AA) and Ag-P(CS-NI-AA) systems were analyzed using various characterization techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-visible) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of Ag-P(CS-NI-AA) for individual and simultaneous degradation of various dyes like methylene blue (MB), Congo red (CR), brilliant blue (Bb), methyl orange (MO) and Rhodamine B (RB) was investigated in aqueous phase using NaBH as reductant. The Pseudo 1st order rate constant (k) for dyes degradation were evaluated. The Ag-P(CS-NI-AA) hybrid system was observed to be efficient, low-cost and stable catalyst for quick degradation of dyes.

In the present study, a norfloxacin (NFX) fluorescent probe was tailored for the spectrofluorometric measurement of cefepime (CFP). The proposed approach measured the quenching effect of CFP on the fluorescence intensity of NFX in acetate buffer solution. The obtained results show that CFP strongly quenches the fluorescence of NFX in a static mechanism.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have proven to be an effective solution for chemical wastewater treatment, particularly for degradation of organic pollutants, especially dyes. Ozonation is recognized as one of the most prevalent AOPs. Nevertheless, some cases show a lowered efficiency of O utilization which is attributed to its inadequate distribution in the treated water causing low residence time, low mass transfer coefficient as well as shorter half-life.

The accelerated growth of the economy and advancements in medical technology have led to the discharge of a diverse range of organic pollutants into water sources. Recent investigations into water treatment have demonstrated the potential for integrating photocatalysis with techniques such as photocatalytic persulfate activation and the Photo-Fenton process for more efficient wastewater management. Iron-based photocatalysts responsive to visible light offer several advantages, including non-toxicity, safety, affordability, and excellent chemical and optical properties.

The scarcity of freshwater resources and the treatment of dye wastewater have emerged as unavoidable challenges that need to be addressed. The combination of solar-driven interfacial evaporation, photocatalytic degradation, and superhydrophobic surface provides an effective approach for seawater desalination and the treatment of organic dyes. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional synergistic solar evaporator by depositing cupric oxide nanoparticles onto polypyrrole (PPy) coating and subsequently modified it with a hydrophobic agent successfully.
