With widespread detection of endocrine disrupting compounds including hormones in wastewater, there is a need to develop cost-effective remediation technologies for their removal from wastewater. Previous research has shown that Fe3+-saturated montmorillonite effective quickly transforming phenolic organic such as pentachlorophenol, acids, and triclosan via surface-catalyzed oligomerization. However, little known about its effectiveness reaction mechanisms when reacting with hormones. In...

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is widely present in soil, with potential ecological impacts. Metal cations are naturally on the surface of soil clay minerals, although adsorption mechanism eDNA minerals saturated metal still not fully understood. The research investigated eDNA, using salmon sperm as a representative, cation (Na+, Ca2+, and Fe3+)-saturated montmorillonites (Mt). cation-saturated Mt have higher capacities for DNA. Compared (3500 mg⋅kg-1), amounts (pH = 7.0) were increased by...

Abstract. Gas–particle partitioning of water-soluble organic compounds plays a significant role in influencing the formation, transport, and lifetime aerosols atmosphere, but is poorly characterized. In this work, gas- particle-phase concentrations isoprene oxidation products (C5-alkene triols 2-methylterols), levoglucosan, sugar polyols were measured simultaneously at suburban site western Yangtze River Delta east China. All target primarily distributed into particle phase (85.9 %–99.8 %)....

Abstract This study seeks to understand the ambient levels, gas/particle partitioning, and sources of nonpolar organic molecular makers (OMMs) at a suburban site in Nanjing, China. Particle‐ gas‐phase OMMs were collected using medium volume sampler equipped with two quartz filters series polyurethane foam (PUF)/XAD‐4/PUF (PXP) adsorbent sandwich. More than 100 pairs filter PXP samples diurnally from September 2018 2019. The concentration profiles total n‐ alkanes polycyclic aromatic...

Cu(II) catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by tartaric acid under the irradiation simulated solar light was investigated through batch experiments at pHs from 3 to 6 and temperatures 15°C 35°C. Results demonstrated that introduction could markedly improve in comparison with alone. Optimal removal achieved pH 4. Reduction increased increasing initial concentrations acid. The role ascribed formation Cu(II)-tartaric complex, which generated active reductive intermediates, including Cu(I) radicals a...

Cu(II) and organic carboxylic acids, existing extensively in soil aquatic environments, can form complexes that may play an important role the photodegradation of contaminants. In this paper, catalytic removal methyl orange (MO) presence tartaric acid with light was investigated through batch experiments. The results demonstrate introduction could markedly enhance MO. addition, high initial concentrations benefited decomposition most rapid MO assisted by achieved at pH 3. formation...

Abstract The concentration data of semi‐volatile n‐ alkanes and PAHs in the gas phase PM 2.5 were obtained from Nanjing Denver. First, gas‐particle partitioning coefficients target compounds calculated compared with predictions based on equilibrium absorptive theory. Although vapor pressure ( p o L ) estimation method was selected to improve agreement between measured predicted coefficients, Denver both cities exhibited stronger sorption than predicted. By including adsorption mechanism,...
