Adsorptive removal of heavy metals, dyes, and pharmaceuticals: Carbon-based nanomaterials in focus

Unraveling the corrosion inhibition behavior of prinivil drug on mild steel in 1M HCl corrosive solution: insights from density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and experimental approaches

“…Conversely, in the sample treated (b) with 500 ppm Prinivil in 1 M HCl solution, iron remains dominant at 87.80 wt%, with increased carbon (8.01 wt%) and slightly reduced oxygen (5.44 wt%). Notably, nitrogen (4.04 wt%) is detected in the Prinivil-treated sample, indicating the presence of the inhibitor on the metal surface (same as mentioned in Table 6 ) ( Thakur et al, 2022 ; 2023a ; 2023b ; Sharma et al, 2023b ). This suggests adsorption or chemical bonding of Prinivil molecules, contributing to a protective layer that inhibits corrosion.…”

One-step hydrothermal synthesis of MIL-88A/BiOCl0.1Br0.9(M88/BCB) solid solution Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts

“…Due to BCB being an indirect bandgap semiconductor with n = 4, while M88 is a direct bandgap semiconductor. 31 Tauc plots of different samples were obtained by using (ahn) 1/2 and (ahn) 2 as ordinates and hn as abscissa, as shown in Fig. 4(b and c).…”

“…In the past few decades, environmental pollution has seriously harmed the normal water environment and soil environment and has become a subject of increasing concern. [1][2][3][4][5] In particular, the overuse of antibiotics has caused serious water pollution, which poses a serious threat to the health of humans and the natural environment. Among them, tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) is not biodegradable, and its residual part will accumulate in water, causing irreversible harm to human health and ecosystems in the future.…”

One-step preparation of direct Z-scheme NH2-UiO-66/BiOCl photocatalyst for antibiotic degradation by electrostatic adsorption

“…Over the past few decades, environmental pollution has seriously harmed normal water and soil environments and has become a subject of increasing concern and scientific interest. 1–5 In particular, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) is not biodegradable, and its residual part will accumulate in water, bringing serious harm to human health and ecosystem in the future. 6,7 Therefore, various technologies have been developed to eliminate risks of TCH to the ecological environment.…”
