Ensuring reliable access to clean and affordable water is one of the greatest global challenges this century. As world’s population increases, pollution becomes more complex difficult remove, climate change threatens exacerbate scarcity in many areas, magnitude challenge rapidly increasing. Wastewater reuse becoming a common necessity, even as source potable water, but our separate wastewater collection supply systems are not designed accommodate pressing need. Furthermore, aging centralized...

Dissolved black carbon (BC) released from biochar can be one of the more photoactive components in dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool. BC was mainly composed aliphatics and aromatics substituted by aromatic C-O carboxyl/ester/quinone moieties as determined solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. It underwent 56% loss absorbance at 254 nm, almost complete fluorescence, 30% mineralization during a 169 h simulated sunlight exposure. Photoreactions preferentially targeted methyl moieties,...

Biomineralization is a critical process controlling the biogeochemical cycling, fate, and potential environmental impacts of heavy metals. Despite indispensability extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to microbial life their ubiquity in soil aquatic environments, role played by EPS transformation biomineralization metals not well understood. Here, we used gold ion (Au3+) as model metal quantitatively assess discern responsible functional groups. Integrated spectroscopic analyses showed...

Here, we systematically compared the photoactivity and photobleaching behavior between dissolved black carbon (DBC) from rice straw biochar leached organic (LDOC) compost using complementary techniques. The Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) analysis showed that DBC was dominated by polycyclic aromatic (55.1%) tannin-like molecules (24.1%), while LDOC lignin-like (58.9%) (19.7%). Under simulated sunlight conditions, had much higher apparent quantum yields...

Triethylamine (TEA) is a flammable and highly toxic gas, the fast, accurate, sensitive detection of gas TEA remains greatly challenging. Herein, we report ZnO nanorod anchored with single-atom Pt catalyst (Pt1/ZnO) as sensor for detection. The shows high selectivity response to value 4170 at 200 °C, which 92 times higher than that pure ZnO. Moreover, Pt1/ZnO has very short recovery only 34 76 s, respectively, also ppb-level (100 ppb-21.6). gas-sensing enhancement mechanism was systematically...

Exploring surface-exposed highly active crystal facets for photocatalytic oxidations is promising in utilizing monoclinic WO3 semiconductor. However, the previously reported were mainly toward enhancing reductions. Here we report that with {100} facet orientation and tuned surface electronic band structure can effectively enhance oxidation properties. The faceted single crystals are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. UV–visible diffuse reflectance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy...
