Degradation of norfloxacin by MOF-derived lamellar carbon nanocomposites based on microwave-driven Fenton reaction: Improved Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle

Analysis of the Applications of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithms on Reaction Kinetics: A Prospective Study for Advanced Oxidation Processes

“…[119] However, there are several implementations of Fentonbased processes designed to overcome some of its limitations by coupling additional AOPs, such as electrochemical oxidation, [109,116] photocatalysis (photo-Fenton), [120,121] and sonolysis. [122,123] Furthermore, the implementation of iron-based MOFs have proved to enhance the oxidative potential of Fenton processes, as observed in the work from Wang et al, [124] where microwave-assisted Fenton was evaluated for the degradation of norfloxacin. A 95 % of degradation was achieved and the catalyst described good qualities for reusability.…”

Low temperature curable titanium-based sols for visible light photocatalytic coatings for glass and polymeric substrates

“…The current methods for the removal of such pollutants include adsorption 1 and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (the Fenton method, microwave assisted degradation, and photocatalysis). [2][3][4] Adsorption processes remove the pollution of water but render a solid residue that requires further treatment or being managed as waste, which, as a consequence, may imply to release back the pollutant into the environment. Among the AOPs, the Fenton method has been widely explored as its implementation is technically straightforward but it has a narrow working pH range and can suffer from contamination, low efficiencies and long reaction times.…”

“…Sol-gel chemistry is one of the most successful TiO 2 manufacturing technologies due to its chemical versatility and processing opportunities. If these materials are applied in the form of coatings, the problem related to the separation of the catalyst is solved, but still some drawbacks remain such as (1) the need for high synthesis temperatures to obtain photoactive anatase robust coatings increases the costs and limits the substrates on which they can be applied, (2) the requirement of UV radiation to switch the photocatalysis does not make them fully effective in indoor environments and (3) the lower surface area compared to suspended nanoparticulate materials. Therefore, there is a need to develop photoactive materials in the visible spectral range which do not require high synthesis temperatures, making them suitable for applications where there is no source of natural or artificial UV radiation and substrates/surfaces thermally frail.…”

Microwave catalytic activities of MFe2O4@CMT (M = Ni, Co) supported catalysts for the degradation of dimethyl phthalate

“…However, it has a relatively low reaction efficiency and usually requires long reaction times to reach Cite this: DOI: 10.1039/d2va00019a equilibrium. For faster reaction speeds, external energy such as UV-Vis light, 11 electricity 12 and microwaves (MW) 13 are oen introduced. MW-induced catalytic oxidation (MICO) is regarded a promising AOP because of its high energy utilization, quick reaction rate, and high degradation efficiency.…”
