Overexposure to antibiotics originating in wastewater has profound environmental and health implications. Conventional treatment methods are not fully effective removing certain antibiotics, such as the commonly used antibiotic, tetracycline, leading its accumulation water catchments. Alternative antibiotic removal strategies garnering attention, including sonocatalytic oxidative processes. In this work, we investigated degradation of tetracycline using a combination TiO2 fractured...
Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) is a very promising technology for the elimination of various refractory pollutants, but to activate dioxygen under mild conditions great challenge.
Abstract The acute water and electricity shortages in Gaza necessitate comprehensive solutions that recognize the interconnected nature of these vital resources. This article presents pragmatic to align supply with fundamental needs both domains, offering viable pathways for achieving strategic water‐energy security Gaza. Baseline data reveals a deficit current supply, falling below international minimum 100 L per capita day, while reported 137–189 MW day significantly lags behind estimated...
Sonochemistry is the use of ultrasound to generate highly reactive radical species through inertial collapse a gas/vapour cavity and green alternative for hydrogen production, wastewater treatment, chemical synthesis modifications. Yet, current sonochemical reactors often are limited by their design, resulting in low efficacy yields with slow reaction kinetics. Here, we constructed novel reactor design that creates cylindrically converging waves create an intense localised region high...
Water vapor inevitably exists in the environment, which causes adverse impacts on many crucial chemical reactions. However, high water of up to 10 vol %─relevant a broad spectrum industrial practices-for catalytic implications has been less investigated or neglected. As such, we explored an industry-relevant, humidity-highly sensitive benzene oxidation only presence % using well-established Pt/Co
Activity trends for 22 metals and metal alloys are reported the conversion of CO2 CH4 to 2 : 1 H2 CO syngas carbon. A correlation is observed between free energy oxidation by on pure catalysts. Indium indium activate at highest rates. We identify a new bifunctional 20 80 mol% Sn-In alloy that activates both while catalyzing reactions.
Cu/SiO2 is one of the most promising catalysts for furfural (FF) hydrogenation reaction but suffers from difficulty tailoring microstructure and surface properties. Herein, we developed a MOF-derived catalyst (Cu/SiO2-MOF) FF to 2-methyl furan (2-MF). In comparison with prepared ammonia evaporation (Cu/SiO2-AE) traditional impregnation (Cu/SiO2-TI), copper species in Cu/SiO2-MOF could not only be anchored on silica via forming Cu-O-Si bonds also exposed many more active sites. this way,...
Sonochemistry is considered a green alternative for chemical synthesis, water treatment, and hydrogen production. There are several steps sonochemical reactions. First, the nucleation of bubble must occur through application an intense acoustic pressure field. After further ultrasonic irradiation, grow to diameter beyond certain threshold so that it undergoes inertial collapse during compressional phase Finally, this achieve quasi-adiabatic compression cause pyrolysis gas or vapour molecules...
The efficient production of γ-valerolactone (GVL) from renewable lignocellulose that is synthesized in plants by photosynthesis to replace the declining fossil resources conforms principles circular economy. Compared direct hydrogenation H2 molecules, catalytic transfer (CTH) levulinic acid (LA) and/or its esters GVL with organic alcohols as a hydrogen source much milder route. synergistic catalysis between Lewis and Brønsted acids indispensable CTH process. Considering unsaturated...
Molten metals are investigated as chemical looping propane oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts for the first time.
This work models 10 process routes that produce methanol from carbon dioxide using new and established thermochemical electrochemical technologies. Net CO2 conversion is compared, efficiencies are benchmarked side-by-side models. New recently reported catalysts enable methane pyrolysis (PY), the dry reforming of (DMR) modeled. Comparison made with direct hydrogenation to methanol, co-electrolysis water solid oxide electrochemistry, combinations processes. Both electric heating fuel switching...
Lignin could be depolymerized into large amount of phenolic compounds via fast pyrolysis. The upgrade hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) involves multiple reaction pathways. It is challenging to selectively remove the oxygen-containing groups while keeping aromatic rings intact. In this work, hierarchical Nb2O5 (H-Nb2O5) microspheres with abundant oxygen vacancies were synthesized anchor Pd clusters, which featured strong metal-support interaction electron transfer between species and Nb species. For...
