The depletion of oil reserves and their price and availability volatility raise researchers' concerns about renewable resources for epoxidized material. This study aims to produce in situ and ex-situ hydrolyzed dihydroxy stearic acid via the epoxidation of neem oil. Epoxidized neem oil was synthesized using in situ-generated performic acid.

Article Synopsis
- * Performic acid (PFA) is shown to be a powerful disinfectant with minimal environmental impact, but its effects on entire microbial communities, especially resistant strains, are still not fully understood.
- * This study found that PFA significantly reduces microbial viability and alters bacterial composition at low concentrations and short contact times, highlighting its potential for widespread use in wastewater treatment facilities.
Preparation of Coir Cellulose Nanofibers by Peroxyformic Acid Method and Their Application in Reinforced PVA Composite Films.

Key Laboratory of Bio-Based Material Science and Technology of Ministry of Education, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China.
To increase the value of waste coconut shells and further broaden their use by biorefining, a milder and greener method to prepare cellulose nanofibers (CCNFs) was developed. The CCNFs were separated from coir fibers by using peroxyformic acid and alkali treatment in combination with high-power ultrasonication. The basic properties of the CCNFs were comprehensively evaluated using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopy, diffraction, and thermogravimetric techniques.

High-valent iron (Fe(IV/V/VI)) has been widely applied in water decontamination. However, common Fe(II)-activating oxidants including hydrogen peroxide (HO) and persulfate react slowly with Fe(II) and exhibit low selectivity for Fe(IV) production due to the cogeneration of radicals. Herein, we report peroxyacids (POAs; R-C(O)OOH) that can react with Fe(II) more than 3 orders of magnitude faster than HO, with high selectivity for Fe(IV) generation.
